Danielle Fung, 30, was one of more than a dozen who linked arms and stood on the tracks to stop the slowly rolling train while one blew a conch shell and the others yelled, “Shut it down! Shut it down!” She said she felt like stopping a train represented power.
“We’re standing up for what we want, standing up for ourselves,” she said. “We are bringing attention to humanity.”
Navid Shaghaghi, 30, of Berkeley said blocking a locomotive perhaps had even wider reach than blocking a freeway.
“By shutting down this train, it will delay the rest of the trains in the Bay Area,” he said. “Now everyone will be asking, 'Why are the trains delayed?’ Because of the protesters. Unless we’re free, we will prevent the system from operating.”
These people are obviously deep thinkers. < /sarc>
The 13 or so people need to be arrested, allowed to go through withdrawal, and shown how to work to survive.
I've had it with these whiney children distracting decent people, their lives,their families, and their businesses.
ARREST THEM!
They think disrupting others’ lives will make them popular.
Al they succeed in doing is in driving people away.
I’d advise them to keep up the good work.
