Why are they not roadkill? Chaulk it up as suicide.

sue them personally for any lost wages

Some of these dumbasses did this to me when I was coming home from Boston- I had to pay for an overnight stay at the airport, a missed flight, a missed days pay the next day, and it was close to $1000

These people need to be personally sued for damages

I was in fear of my life, officer, and felt I had no other means of escape!

They don’t realize that all they do with that sort of stuff is turn people AGAINST them and their cause.

You inconvenience people and cost them that kind of money and you will NEVER make your point.

Note that the reporter was unsure what they were protesting. B.S. All they had to do was ask. They are purposefully omitting to avoid blowback.

How will we ever know who’s doing the protest... the reporter won’t find out.

They are chained together? A dozen guys could dump them over the edge, (it's a bridge, right?) How well can they swim chained together?

There probably won't be any witness's, other than those who saw the fools jump over the railing.

A Sharpie would be fun here, as they all probably have pale completions. Mascara on the men, mustaches and thick eyebrows on the women for starters. Canvass the other drivers for budding tattoo artists.

Cut the chains, and throw them off the bridge. Done. Who’s next?

they HAVE to be stupid to pull a stunt like that in NYC.
In Minneapolis, we patiently wait in line, hoping they'll move along.

I don't take the average NYer as a hand ringing passive coward. One thing for sure, your authorities will hear about you all’s disgust and anger. MN, they are too polite. I catch heck for honking my horn.
