I mean, you're right about the people directly impacted, but if you're on the 405, this shit happens all the time. I was stuck for a few hours cause of a jumper. It's annoying, and it's hot outside, and in the moment I would certainly be anti-protester if not anti-everything. But that's just people there at the time inconvenienced.

So, it's probably a net good for their cause since more people aren't in traffic than are, although at this point I feel like everyone has made up their mind on Gaza (and honestly, images and recounts from people on the ground there are a thousand times more persuasive than whatever this is)

That makes sense, I would just be mad at them if I was on the freeway. I am personally not very positive on them because they do things that seem pretty shitty on a regular basis.
