Public roadways are for travel.

that's literally why blocking roads in protest is so effective. enough angry calls to the mayor office due to people being late for work etc, is how protesting puts pressure on representatives to actually represent the people.

or did you think that huddling on sidewalks holding signs was supposed to do something?

Blocking roads in protest has proven effective at exactly one thing: Increasing the enforcement and penalties for jaywalking.

It is counterproductive at everything else.

did you think that huddling on sidewalks holding signs was supposed to do something?

Where did I say huddle on sidewalks?

I think JSO should be firebombing ICE car dealerships, gas stations, muffler shops, and other entities and agents of the oil industry. Not harassing victims of that industry.

Jaywalking isn't even illegal where I live.

Give JSO time to lobby your legislators. They'll get around to it.
