Seriously though, your argument is nonsense given what the people involved said. From my link:
Go to twitter and educate yourself - that's what the problem is with you people - you believe everything in an article instead of researching. I just hate when people waste the brains God gave them.

Hmmm. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I guess all the belly-aching the right did about roads and highways being shut down by protesters/rioters were just really irritated they didn't come up with a plan like that, themselves.

In retrospect, pretty much everyone bellyached about people having the chutzpah to block the free flow of traffic - it was only the Trump fanatics who filed that little trick away, for later use by themselves when they felt like grinding the community to a halt for attention.

We call them Highways here, or turnpikes, or parkways.

These people are just as dumb as all the BLM protesters who did the same thing for weeks at a time.

Interestingly enough, then, the MSM didn't seem to care at all....mhm

And there is no such thing as a Freeway in NJ, LMAO honestly this was the most offensive part of this lame gotcha post.

MSM didn't seem to care when roadways were shut down by protesters and rioters?

That's all we got on national and local news for weeks. And weeks. Rioting, fires, skirmishes, roads shut down, cars trying to get through but barely managing to escape with their lives, smoke bombs, tear gas. It was 24/7 of the news cycle.

I don't know where you were, but not here I guess and not watching TV news or news websites.

I'm thinking I'm going to go get groceries tomorrow morning, and then just stay in the neighborhood for the next couple days.

There's a weird energy.

LOL.. Its sort of ironic that Trump supporters are doing this after all the insanity where they cheered on the idea of running folks over who block traffic. Id say the hypocrisy was stunning, but im sort of used to it.
Did you even read the article? if so, then why post the false thread title? They did not shut anything down.

Going one way, yes, they did shut down the highway.

The lanes going the other way, that have a barrier between them and the blocked opposite way traffic, are still moving.

Did you even turn on the audio? woohoo, we shut it down, baby we shut it down, we shut it down, we shut it down

If you're lucky enough to be traveling THE OTHER WAY, you're still in business. Which means ambulances or cop cars or anyone in an emergency can't get through going the blocked way.
