HUNDREDS of protesters block five major roadways in Washington DC during rush hour over US support for Israel: Federal employees set to go on 'one day hunger strike' in support of Gaza
2024-02-02
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Hundreds of pro-Palestine protestors have blocked five major roadways in and around Washington DC during rush hour over America's support for Israel.

Videos have emerged on social media showing members of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights protesting around the Capital.

Protestors can be heard chanting: 'Free Palestine, long live Palestine', as angered commuters can be heard continuously beeping their horns at them.

In a post to social media the campaign said: 'Hundreds of protesters are blocking 5 major roadways in DC & rallying at Union Station to end the genocide.

'They're stopping US gov't war criminals from getting to work. NO BUSINESS AS USUAL! SHUT IT DOWN!'
Other organizations mentioned are: anti-Zionism Jewish group Neturei Karta, Feds United for Peace, and Staffers for Ceasefire

#10  Before buying Bear Crowd control Mace make sure it is MULTI-USE (Multi-shot) as some are not.

For those unfamiliar with such products, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation offers some advice:
Listen,
bear spray DOES NOT work like bug spray.
We would like to not have to say that again.

#6  The people still going in to work are some motivated people. Getting in their way probably isn't a good idea.

#5  Blocking traffic to empty buildings?!?! If they really want to show the world they are serious they should OPEN Black Lives Matter Boulevard to traffic.

Just Saying
Some treat anyone blocking the street as a potential CarJacker.

Some have a canister or 2 of Bear Mace in each vehicle.

Before buying Bear Crowd control Mace make sure it is MULTI-USE (Multi-shot) as some are not.
