Can someone please calmly explain how blocking a freeway across an ocean and a country on a different continent, is supposed to have any effect on a political issue in the middle east?

    Well, it makes me aware of it, and want to do something about it. So, I’m going to ask my state representatives to increase the penalties for jaywalking, and expand use-of-force laws by declaring that reasonable vehicular force is justified against those deliberately and notoriously impeding traffic.

    I assume the protesters are playing some sort of 5D chess, and understand how broader jaywalking and vehicular force laws will bring peace to the Middle East. I certainly don’t know, but I don’t really need to know. I’m happy to do my part to help them with their plan.

      Whenever I read comments like this, Im reminded of conversations with non americans, who dont understand why americans are so eagerly bloodthirsty and excited to try and kill their own neighbors for the smallest inconveniences.

      I bet you threaten people in the mcdonalds line for taking too long to get their wallet out of their pocket, ey?
