We told you about the social justice obstructionists blocking traffic at the Holland Tunnel in New York City. Looks like a bunch of Occupy Wall Street retreads and assorted fellow travelers are making sure that commuters and workers trying to use roads and bridges across the country are blocked from their business.
Because social justice!
The “protests” have hit Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, Washington, D.C., Denver, Minneapolis, and all points in between.

Well, at least people standing around in the middle of the street is an improvement over burning down family businesses and looting toilet paper.
