    That’s a great argument until you substitute in a cause you don’t support. Hmm, what would people be saying if some pro-January 6th-ers took over the bridge?

    It happened in my town. Remember the Trump Trains? Blocked traffic for miles.

    I get that you don’t like people wanting to do something effective that might draw attention to their cause and are trying to use trumpists as an excuse, but here’s the thing: Cops won’t enforce this consistently. Trumpists will still be allowed to march, but people cops disagree with won’t. I have no doubt that this is the only reason you support making protesters felons, nor do I think that this will stop with protests in the street.

    We’re always changing.

    And you’re fine with that as long as it keeps being for the worse and no one adds any minutes to your precious commute. You want to make people felons on the off chance that you might have to choose an alternate route one day. Your commute is not that important.

    I am entirely unaffected.

    Then act like it and stop supporting making protesting in a way that hurts your feelings a felony.
