ST. LOUIS • Activists supporting the Black Lives Matter movement temporarily blocked westbound traffic on Highway 40 (Interstate 64) downtown Saturday afternoon as part of a protest to raise the issue of racial inequality.
Earlier Saturday, several local groups, including the Organization for Black Struggle and the St. Louis chapter of Hands Up United, had organized a rally at the Old Courthouse.
The Old Courthouse, a powerful symbol for activists, is the site where the slave Dred Scott sued for his freedom in the landmark legal case that he eventually lost. Slave auctions also were held on the courthouse steps.
About 200 people participated in the protest that started building around 2 p.m., including those attending a downtown conference of Netroots Nation, a national organization of progressive activists.
Protesters, many of them from out of town, marched south on Broadway past Busch Stadium, and eventually went up the entrance ramp to westbound Highway 40, where they blocked traffic for about 15 minutes before leaving the upper deck of the highway.

Blocking traffic is a crime.
You don’t have to be a lawyer.
The Constitution guarantees “peaceable assembly”. What they are doing is breaking the law.
Of course for the last 8 years: “What difference does it make?”
wow
Feeling small?
???? Feeling like you let your mouth overload your brain and tried to clean it up in the last statement. How you feeling, cowboy?
EG if you hit a ped and it damages your car, the damage is ped’ liability.
UnPrincipled
Uh..............not an attorney.
Duuuuuuh!
Well I think that’s how YOU feel.
Have a nice day and please don’t follow me around the forum to harass me.
Perhaps they should be granted the ‘freedom’ to support themselves without government assistance if caught in one of these ‘protests’.
LOL. I’m afraid you’d call an attorney.
If you want to imply people should run over pedestrians/demonstrators even on the freeway, you might want to find a crazier web site to do it on. But, I’m not an attorney.
FRlike ^1
Well I don’t think this is a crazy website. I’m not surprised your anger overwhelmed you again during your post to the extent you call FR a crazy website.
If you think it’s crazy, why are you here? To disrupt?
What’s the hang up? You are not required to continually post to me, you are choosing it. Why?
LOL That was my point. It is not a crazy site. your comment was inciting, dangerous and crazy. I suggested you post it on a crazy site, not here. You got it 180 degrees wrong. But you’ve been wrong all throughout this exchange. How long do you want to keep displaying your wit?
Laden semi running along the stretch of I-64 in St. Louis looses brakes and squashes dozens of what appeared to be pedestrians in some sort of trance. HAZ MAT teams were dispatched to the scene to mop up all the blood and guts. Authorities are trying to decipher the significance of a poster on the highway surface that reads: BLM. If anyone has a clue as to what BLM, other then what may be a new fast food sandwich might mean, please call 1-800-123-4567 and render some insight.
We now return you the regularly televised program, "Day Of The Living Dead"..
Now you're lying. But that's you. Lying, very angry, small.
You can reply in an even angrier tone with more lies and name calling. I won't read it nor will anyone else.
An inference is not a lie. If you were an attorney, you’d know that. But as you say, you are not.
You didn’t want me to harass you from thread to thread, yet you keep coming back for more punishment on this one. make up your mind.
I’m laughing my ass off after posting #34
Turn the dogs loose on them, time to quit playing nice, while they are killing cops.
Why yes, Mr. Spock, I did transport the BLM blockade protest to the gates of Mecca, why do you ask?
