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.

    It’s not common for ambulances to be blocked. Every protest I’ve been to or seen has made way for emergency vehicles when sirens are on. When paramedics are aware of a protest blocking a major artery, they usually will reroute. It’s an issue people use for virtue signaling that isn’t widespread, like the Seattle one where the vehicle was not using sirens or lights. Sirens turn on, people will move.

        Do you give a shit when traffic is blocked during a commercial shoot? What about for a car accident? How about traffic jams? No, you don’t. Backup plans exist for a reason. And there’s plenty of reasons for a bridge to close. How about you grow up and learn how the world works.

            Oh do you? Well shit, what are you doing to help put an end to those things? How about you stop calling people murderers when you don’t know shit about them? You sound just like a pro-life activist. Get bent, chud.
