Delays into New York at one point reached 90 minutes


Protesters with an immigrant rights group held up a banner reading “Resist, Organized, Rise Up!” and blocked traffic heading into New York around 8 a.m.

Video on social media showed drivers clashing with protesters and truckers honking their horns, as police took demonstrators into custody.

“Get the f— out of the road, are you f—–g kidding me?” one man is seen yelling at the protesters.

“Get the hell out of here, you want to go protest, protest on your own time,” another man said.

This has to stop. There are laws that traffic cannot be stopped. They should pull out the Nat'l Guard to arrest them and jail them for 30-60 days for the first offense.

They are lucky they didn't get thrown off the Bridge. Kudos to the Cops for responding quickly and getting them out of there.

Nothing pisses off a New Yorker (or New Jerseyan) off more than messing with their commute.

The only saving grace is they did it on the AM commute. If they tried it on the PM commute they would have been run over.

Peaceful protest is protected by the 1st Amendment. This is not peaceful protest but rather civil disobedience. Each and every one of them should be arrested. There are no permits for these and they are endangering lives, including their own.

they are playing in traffic.

darwin would point out a possible result and present the good news for the future.

 

[Iceweasel]

Should be legal to run over anyone that is conscience in the roadway. Or at least a slow plow move.

They were lucky it was only the handles.

If I commute into the City I always use mass transit, driving is nuts. But my normal commute is north/south inside one of the Boros, and that means a car.

you're a hatelful little thing, aren't you?

you couldn't care less about traffic disruption. you'll defend any rightwingnut action. your objection is that you don't like the people protesting.


no one is interested

I would definitely NOT want to be the first protester to walk out into the road, the one that stopped traffic. Talk about craziness and guts! And probably the commute is that bad two days out of three because of a disabled motorist or fender bender, anyway.

The funniest thing about this kind of protest is that these idiots think that they are creating sympathy for their cause, roflmao.

It doesnt take guts to be a stupid ass and walk out into traffic.

It takes a lack of brain power.

A smart person would toss an empty card board box into the road in front of them and the cars would stop or go around it.

There is a difference between being stopped by an accident or a breakdown that takes out 1-2 lanes and ALL lanes of traffic being blocked. There is also the question of intent.

Again, these people are lucky they aren't swimming right now.

There have been a couple protesters recently that learned the hard way that trying to walk out in front of a moving vehicle is not good for the health. People are getting fed up with these protests that block roads and keep people from getting to their work or play. It you want to protest, great, line up on the steps of the capitol building but don't block traffic, don't trespass, and don't get into people's face. It doesn't help your cause.

BLM has become nothing more than a front for looting, mayhem, assaulting police, and arson. The message they tried to convey has been lost in the lawlessness.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

They want recognition for illegals. We want a wall and mass deportations.

There were hundrends of motorists and only a few protesters. The protesters should have been mobbed, beaten and thrown off the bridge.

 

[AZGAL]

"immigrant rights" my ass. If they are illegal, their rights are back in their home country.

 

[JimBowie1958]

"immigrant rights" my ass. If they are illegal, their rights are back in their home country.

Well, the corporations own this country now, not We the People, so they can let vote anyone that they want to....unless WE PUT A STOP TO IT THIS ELECTION BY VOTING TRUMP AS PRESIDENT.

 

[Southern Dad]

If they are illegals we should bring out the National Guard and a large police presence. Then we bring the zip ties. Arrest them, load them on buses, give them their day in court, and deport them. It doesn't even take a new law. We already have laws on the books that make it illegal to be an illegal alien. Go figure.

Boy you say some really inane stuff.

Is there something internally that forces a response out of you --- simply because your brain is telling you "someone from the right wing has a problem with some lefties, you must react in some way"?
