Pro-Palestinian protesters block traffic on Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco

A pro-Palestinian protest action briefly blocked all traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Wednesday morning.

Starting at about 7:45 a.m. Protesters stopped cars and stretched banners across the roadway denouncing Israel's bombing of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and demanding that the U.S. stop arming Israel.

Northbound and southbound traffic on the bridge was at a standstill as of 8 a.m.

Nah brah. There could be an ambulance carrying your child to a hospital in that queue.

Or a dude on its way to an interview after more than two years trying to land a job.

Or a person about to catch a flight.

So, not absolutely acceptable. No.

Or tens of thousands of children being slaughtered. Nah brah

How does this help though? It just makes people annoyed at protesters and, if anything, detracts from their cause. Protesting is great, blocking traffic is a criminal offence.
