Protesters who had attached themselves to barrels blocked a Massachusetts highway today. A Massachusetts State Trooper asked them to think of others:
#Protest all you want…Do not block hwy, it's illegal.
Stopping highway traffic proves nothing. What if an ambulance needs to get by?

An ambulance? Protesters in other locations have demonstrated time and time again that they’re not empathetic to people who need to get to the hospital.

Those idiot protestors blocking traffic in Boston should receive NO LESS than one year in prison .. no parole .. no probation. Lock 'em up.

@DustinGFitch @NEANewEngland I don't think you understand how protesting works. Your convenience is not their concern.

No, concern about emergency vehicles getting through probably isn’t in the cards:
. @DustinGFitch very simple way to end protests. Stop fucking killing us.

Update: As it turned out, the trooper was very prescient.
