In a sane world, the people blocking roads would be arrested, charged, prosecuted, and given some sort of punishment, even if it is a bunch of community service, with penalties escalating if they are caught doing it again. What we’ve mostly seen is the Jew haters mostly just let go. So
Anti-Israel Groups Hit With Class Action Lawsuit Over Coordinated Traffic Blockade
Several anti-Israel organizations that formed an illegal blockade across the highway leading to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport are facing a class action lawsuit from travelers who were trapped in the traffic jam.
Left-wing groups, including the Tides Center—a George Soros-funded dark money network—Community Justice Exchange, and National Students for Justice in Palestine, among others, coordinated a “multi-city economic blockade” on April 15 targeting major airports, highways, and bridges. In one instance, activists shut down access to O’Hare, backing up traffic and forcing some travelers to walk with their luggage to the airport.
Keffiyeh-clad activists handcuffed themselves, linked arms with drain pipes, and later sat side-by-side on Interstate 190 leading to the Chicago airport. The Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute filed a lawsuit on Monday against the organizers for “imprisoning” thousands of travelers in vehicles on their way to O’Hare, according to the complaint.
But, were these protests protected by the 1st as peaceable? Also Article 1 Section 5 of the Illinois Constitution.
Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute cofounder and litigation director Ted Frank told the Washington Free Beacon the First Amendment does not protect criminal activity.
“These sorts of abusive roadblocking tactics have been used with impunity over the last few years, and the organizations seem to think that they can do that too,” Frank said.
“But when you injure people, when you commit torts against individual people, there’s not just criminal enforcement, but also civil enforcement,” he added. “We hope that this lawsuit vindicates that principle, vindicates the rights of the people who were adversely affected, encourages other such lawsuits, and discourages such tactics in the future.”
Too bad the suits can’t force the government to deport all those who are not natural born back to their Islamist nations. Or, just, out of the U.S.
Lawsuits won’t do diddly because it will be found that the groups have no unhidden money to seize. The only real solution is for drivers to not stop for the protesters.
The protesters use uncivilized methods that depend upon the targets of their protests to behave as civilized people. Have a few of the targets just keep driving through and all of this nonsense will stop.
You’ll note that Rachel Corrie was the last pro-‘Palestinian’ protester to lay down in front of a bulldozer.
Mr Dana proposes murdering the protesters. We humbly propose that the protesters breaking the law be arrested and removed.
Perhaps the courageous Mr Dana will lead the way. He may sacrifice his freedom for the cause.
It’s like the old joke. Two black protesters lay on the road. One says, “Porter, I don’t know that they’ll stop!”. “Sure they will unless their license is MISSISSI…” thump thump.
Lawfare can work both ways.

“Proliferated misinformation”?? What kinda of godforsaken lawfare shit is that??
Is that akin to Tampon Don and Jaded Vance inciting bomb threats directed at the city of Springfield, Ohio? They’re closing schools, gov’t offices and businesses there because of the Donnie’s and Jade’s bomb threats. Should the city sue Donnie and Jade, both who have deep pockets and are causing material harm to that city?
Classic nuConservatism. Make an outrageous claim and insist the aggrieved prove you wrong! Reason and logic is for “suckers and losers”, eh Donnie?
And nudge, nudge, wink, wink, neither Donnie nor Jade Eyeliner will say if Donnie would veto a national abortion ban bill, which we all know is coming if the Rethugs gain the House and Senate.
What do you think the federal bill would look like? I’m guessing it would have to parallel Roe v Wade. You know, OK for the first 20 weeks gestation, restricted after that, with exceptions for rape, incest and health of the woman (or girl in red states).
Trump/Vance did not incite any bomb threats, dipshit. Cry harder!
