Protesters in DC—who are undoubtedly fluent in the grand jury evidence presented against Darren Wilson—thought blocking traffic on a major highway was a good way to draw attention to their cause.
Right now. #DCFerguson Protestors have shut down I-395 near D Street exit. @LisaJac21671472 @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/piGcAQIQEa

@shomaristone @LisaJac21671472 @nbcwashington drivers should run over those idiots

Right to protest but there is a time and a place for it.— Andrew Davis (@andrew14ad) November 30, 2014

Clogging the highway is not the way to protest as people have places to be.— Andrew Davis (@andrew14ad) November 30, 2014

Maybe leave the world changing to people who actually pay attention to the facts.

Great retort that but I'm against its clogging up a highway that's all.— Andrew Davis (@andrew14ad) November 30, 2014

“@shomaristone: #BREAKING #DCFerguson protesters block I-395. More details: @nbcwashington http://t.co/Jf3fHpkRtb .. Arrest them all.

@AshWagner17 Funny how you're mad at traffic—not black teen boys being 21x likelier than white to be killed by cops. Reexamine yr priorities
— ClinicEscort (@ClinicEscort) November 30, 2014
One thing really has nothing to do with the other. Also black teens are much more likely to be involved in violent crime, so they’re more likely to be in standoffs with the police. A little logic and reason goes a long way.
UPDATE: Cops make arrests after #dcFerguson protesters block I-395. Traffic is now moving. @nbcwashington http://t.co/Ea0PjZeFtG
