      There are people in the cars trapped on a bridge. They can’t turn around and leave.

          You think people are going to just abandon their cars on the Golden Gate Bridge? Why would they do such a thing?

            The amount of commenters arguing that you can just leave your car in the middle of the road and that you should just “get over it” is pretty insane. How do these people live their lives lol

            They definitely the type to think that is a reasonable thing to do. They also assume every single person blocked is able bodied and can travel the rest of their commute on foot, work through the day, and travel on foot back to where they were forced to abandon their car blocking the bridge without it somehow getting towed. They think this because they’re a moron.

              Or just somehow sacrifice a car they paid who knows how many thousands of dollars for and never worry about it again.

            You think people being stuck in a traffic jam justifies RAMMING, MOWING DOWN, AND MURDERING PROTESTORS?

            Because that’s the threat that was made at the top of this subthread in response to being “held hostage” 🙄 in their car.

            Let me reiterate just how FUCKED and PSYCHOPATHIC that is: they think that just because they’re stuck in a traffic jam that happened to be caused by a protest, that’s somehow equated to a hostage situation and justifies them using LETHAL FORCE to escape. Because the option of simply getting out of the goddamn murder machine and walking is unfathomable to their entitled, leaded-gas-riddled mind.

            Are you fucking sure that’s the position you want to be defending right now?!

              When did I even imply that it justified that? Why do you think the only two options are ‘abandon your car’ or ‘run people over?’ Because I’m pretty sure the people actually on the bridge didn’t attempt either.

                If you hold me hostage, violence is an option.

                Read the comment that started this whole shitshow. That, ultimately, is what you’re supporting!

                  No, ultimately, it isn’t.

                  I think I have a better idea of what I support than you do.

                    So are you repudiating your previous comments in this thread defending the false characterization of getting stuck in traffic as a “hostage situation” and supporting those who advocated violence against protestors?
