Well, this is constructive. Once again, on the second night of protests and community agitation following yesterday’s St. Louis County grand jury decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown, law-abiding citizens are being punished while the lawless run loose.
As Twitchy told you earlier tonight, demonstrators in New York City shut down the Lincoln Tunnel.
Now, the #ShutItDown movement has spread nationwide — from Providence, R.I. and Boston to D.C. to Baltimore to Atlanta to Memphis and Nashville to Oakland to L.A. and beyond.
Heckuva job with those calming words last night, President Obama.

Oakland:
Protesters were walking thru moving traffic in Oakland. Cops everywhere. I get your right to protest, but that seems a bit reckless.

Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to stop traffic?? I'm all for a peaceful protest but this is just dumb. People in traffic didn't dothis

It's one thing to protest, but to stop traffic on a busy highway in DT Atl is just dumb
