'Protesters' Face Felony Convictions for Blocking the Golden Gate

A little over two years ago, a group of protesters shut down traffic on one side of the Golden Gate Bridge. This was connected to the pro-Palestinian protests which were then taking over campuses around the country.

The bridge was shut down for more than four hours, largely because the police took three hours to start making arrests. Then the vehicles had to be towed. It was a giant mess that impacted thousands of people and 26 protesters were arrested.

Something surprising happened next. San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins actually charged all 26 of the protesters with crimes. That almost never happens in liberal enclaves after protesters are arrested.

But over the past year, charges against 19 of them have been dropped in favor of some kind of diversion program.
...
However, the remaining seven continued to face felony charges. Here they are.

That trial has been underway since last month. The defense argument is that they were taking necessary action to stop a greater evil.

Proggies are displeased.

The defense argument is that they were taking necessary action to stop a greater evil.

And my response is, who the hell are they to decide other people can't use the bridge?
