Earlier today pro-Hamas protestors blocked the entrance to Chicago’s O’Hare airport, the Golden Gate Bridge, and roads in Oakland. Julio Rosas reports that NYPD stopped a bunch of pro-Hamas protestors from blocking the Brooklyn Bridge.
Travelers trapped in Chicago by protestors were forced to get out on the highway and walk to the airport:
Their goal, presumably, was to criticize Israel in favor of Hamas by inconveniencing everyone and bringing these cities to a standstill. I’m not sure what goodwill they think blocking traffic engenders but these tactics don’t work in every state.
In Florida the cops drag them out of the road:
There is no gray area here: If you’re protesting in favor of Hamas’s interests, you’re supporting terrorists. Free speech doesn’t entitle to you the right to arrest other people’s free movement and trap them on roadways and bridges. That’s just hostage-taking, fitting for these protestors, considering the tactics of the people they support by protest.
I shared on my program today how I once was warned by police at a tea party protest for having one foot on the road and one on the sidewalk. I was plainly told that if I stepped one foot on the road again I would be taken into custody for blocking the roadway (in Missouri). Police have such discretion when it comes to enforcement but so do politicians in blue states when it comes to looting and riots.
Blue cities have an incentive for allowing such lawlessness because they need a GOTV mechanism the summer before an election. Riots and looting powered the summer before the 2020 election and served Democrats as a substitute for enthusiasm. They need something like that again with Biden performing so poorly in the polls and threatening to depress turnout for down-ballot races. It helps that there were little consequences for BLM rioters — portrayed as people merely “in Dr. King’s eloquent words, engaging in ‘the language of the unheard‘” — even if they set fires that resulted in deaths. Meanwhile pro-lifers are given prison sentences for praying at an abortion facility (security video clearly disproves the false claim that any entrances were blocked or that anyone was prevented from entering or exiting).
These aren’t different groups, the climate weenies, the pro-Hamas terrorists, they’re merely different parts of the same anti-freedom, statist tyranny foisted upon us throughout the ages. If elected officials don’t sanction full enforcement of law by police, then expect citizens to take the responsibility into their own hands — which ultimately, I think is what the civil war-fetishizing left thinks it wants.
