    Deport anyone involved who is not a citizen, like this uber driver. Did you see the man on crutches having to hobble down the road to catch his flight?!? 3rd world conditions. Outrageous and inexcusable.

    Arrest is not enough. They will just keep doing this unless there is a serious jail time. Law needs to be updated.
  • @judypowell9674
    They are organized. Who is paying for all of this? These people just make want them arrested or deported. No they want to cause chaos

    They hurt their cause, how dare they disrupt people’s lives, they have no right. Their cause sucks anyway bc Israel has a right to defend themselves and have tolerated more than anyone should have to.

    Wanna support Palestine fine, go there. Instead being a whiny larper thats only lived in the suburbs But sure go ahead and think you're going to change the minds of people that work for living by disrupting traffic :body-green-covering-eyes:

    Here in South Carolina they are arrested immediately. This would never fly here.

    This is organised....they must have some facebook group or something calling for those crazy activist to do this in all those place across the usa..

    ‘The idea is to disrupt.’ So basically angering people to get support… good luck with that. We see how great that’s going for Just Stop Oil 😂
