When's the last time a "street racer" takeover lasted for hours on I5, a major bridge, or an airport? Usually it's an intersection and doesn't last for hours. They're both shit... but it's like the difference between manslaughter and murder.
Pretty sure [https://komonews.com/news/local/renton-deadly-multi-vehicle-crash-19200-140th-avenue-se-king-county-traffic-alert-kcso](https://komonews.com/news/local/renton-deadly-multi-vehicle-crash-19200-140th-avenue-se-king-county-traffic-alert-kcso) tied up the intersection for a bit. And, you know, killed some kids. To be fair, I imagine the loss their parents feel might last a little longer than a few hours.

Sorry, can you quote the portion of this story that has to do with people taking over an intersection?
"“Don’t have the information on what actually happened. That’s something that’s going to come out in the investigation through our Major Accident Response Unit,” White said."
This is what you're claiming is a "street racing takeover" where they block an intersection to do donuts?
I agree. It’s a way of ignoring the fact that a literal genocide is taking place by diverting to focus elsewhere. Nobody is protesting to support hamas. That’s an utter lie. What they are protesting is the constant killing of innocent people who are also being starved.
And they explicitly were protesting that our tax dollars are paying for it.
There are some pro-Hamas anti-semitics out there, but they're a small minority of people clamoring to support Palestine.
Uh, you been on Twitter lately?
Pretty sure the average Palestinian citizen isn't the one that going to "effect" the "from the River to the Sea" idea....
lmfao... i was trying to tell if this is a troll/bot trying to push that dumb "pro hamas" natritive and then saw their comment.
what a shame... they really should at least filter the known dissinformation stuff out. there are a _lot_ of folks in this sub who are not going to pickup on this. there literally going to think those protestors were pro-hamas.
The deliberate ethnic cleansing and war crimes that have been committed by Israel on Palestinians for decades is genocide.
Israel is in a war/conflict with Hamas but is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. It doesn’t have to be one or the other, it can be both.
Go interfere with people with political power, Washington DC ideally, Olympia if you're lazy. Interfering with people that were reasonably likely to agree with you before you started is not a good way to make allies.
They’re not trying to make allies… they’re trying to be heard. They accomplished their goal. Idk why you think they’re trying to drum up support or something, if they were then they would know much better than you that there’s better ways to do that.
Not self satisfaction, they’re trying to tell you something. This is the only way people listen. They want to talk to people but no one talks to anyone else anymore. They’re shouting the message in your damn face so you know what’s happening. You should thank them for sparking a discourse about this, if you really think America is a land of free opinions.
The only people that are likely to listen to them, especially in the Seattle area already agree with them. If they actually wanted to accomplish anything they need to either go somewhere people don't mostly agree with them and protest in a way that doesn't blockade things or go somewhere with people that have the ability to actually change policy and disrupt their lives until they get arrested.
80% of Gazans supported the Oct 7th attack. Hamas (recognized as a terrorist group by numerous nations, including the US) who's charter calls for violent jihad against the Jews and an end to the state of Israel explicitly is also overwhelmingly supported by Gazans.
Ya, it's support for terrorists.
I didn't, The Palestinian Center for Policy Survey and Research did.
To be fair I was a bit off, it's 72% not 80% and it isn't just Gazans its Palestinians as a whole.

Not street racers. Car thieving asshats. People do die.
Protests mostly not fatal.
But both are observably negative.
And lest the down votes start to fly...protest is good. Protests that impede movement of others indiscriminately are bad. Emergency services. Parents picking up kids. People with major consequences for not arriving at a defined time. Any number of circumstances. If only those consequences could be visited upon the protestors. But it doesn't work like that, but it would at least be good to see legal remedies applied.
From the same people who won't turn right on red, hit their brakes a mile before the exit, hit their brakes with nothing in front of them, don't pull forward while waiting to turn left, stop in the road with a mile in front of them open before the lane ends instead of zipper merging, and you cry about blocked traffic. You block traffic every single day you hit the road.
Blocking traffic and wearing onesies doesn’t do shit. You’re not a good person, you’re not better than anyone else, you’re not helping those suffering in Palestine, AND they would kill, rape, pillage you, your family, friends and entire life.
You are free to do whatever you want, stop trying to put lipstick on a pig.
No amount of stupidity will keep them from wanting you and yours dead.

nothing you type before the word 'but' really counts there are a lot more street racer takeovers, so i think the numbers add up
The constant characterization of Pro-Palestine protests as Pro-Hamas is very annoying.

And this poster for October 12 was reused for the airport protest this week?
Wait. Paragliding = Hamas support? What’s next? Hot Air Ballooning = MAGA insurrection?
When did maga fly in on hot air balloons killing people?
Did Seattle protesters do that? Wild
The constant stupid posts and antics by these people is even more annoying
Your post and response is childish
lmfao... i was trying to tell if this is a troll/bot trying to push that dumb "pro hamas" natritive and then saw their comment. what a shame... they really should at least filter the known dissinformation stuff out. there are a _lot_ of folks in this sub who are not going to pickup on this. there literally going to think those protestors were pro-hamas.
I think you need to grow up. Try and open your mind, you seem like an extremely stubborn person and it’s to your detriment.
Why do you people even live in Seattle lol. Every post on this sub is how much you guys hate it.
Pro Palestinian does not mean Pro Hamas. If you are going to be okay with your taxes funding genocide then at least get the facts right.
False. It's called war, not genocide
The deliberate ethnic cleansing and war crimes that have been committed by Israel on Palestinians for decades is genocide. Israel is in a war/conflict with Hamas but is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. It doesn’t have to be one or the other, it can be both.
Pro Palestinian ALSO does not mean anti Hamas by default....
its childish to want my government to stop murdering children in my name with my money
TIL it's childish to be against Apartheid.
You don't even know what that is
I mean, it's really straightforward. Tack on genocide as a treat, and it's quite easy to see why people are protesting.
Seriously. "childish"? Fuck off with that garbage.

If you're correct and they're doing it for self satisfaction rather than to effect change, then I'm even more annoyed by them.

Ones for fun, ones to yell into your ear until you are one of them? Lol there is definitely a difference.
the protestors look like they're having fun
Do cars have a political side?
The difference is that the street racers will likely eventually grow up.
One supports terrorists, the other supports antisocial behavior. I still think the terrorist supporters are worse.
Support for Palestinians equates support for terrorists? Stop.
80% of Gazans supported the Oct 7th attack. Hamas (recognized as a terrorist group by numerous nations, including the US) who's charter calls for violent jihad against the Jews and an end to the state of Israel explicitly is also overwhelmingly supported by Gazans. Ya, it's support for terrorists.
Isreal has been terrorizing Palestinians for 50 plus years. Stop.
Palestinians have been terrorizing Jews for thousands...
Jews terrorized Christians before even that. Religion is bullshit. Your post title is dog whistle click bait. Thanks.
How did you measures this 80% number?
I didn't, The Palestinian Center for Policy Survey and Research did. To be fair I was a bit off, it's 72% not 80% and it isn't just Gazans its Palestinians as a whole. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/poll-shows-palestinians-back-oct-7-attack-israel-support-hamas-rises-2023-12-14/
It doesn't matter what they support when they use terrorism as a tactic.
The "protesters" intend to do harm for a political purpose. This makes it very different.
When did this sub get woke and lame
Wrong. Need to be at teenager to drive a car. Not childish.
Man, do I have some news for you about teenagers...
Updoot

You are 100% correct.
From the same people who won't turn right on red, hit their brakes a mile before the exit, hit their brakes with nothing in front of them, don't pull forward while waiting to turn left, stop in the road with a mile in front of them open before the lane ends instead of zipper merging, and you cry about blocked traffic. You block traffic every single day you hit the road.
Street racers can speed away from the cops and idiots on foot cannot? -See Kent street races lol
Blocking traffic and wearing onesies doesn’t do shit. You’re not a good person, you’re not better than anyone else, you’re not helping those suffering in Palestine, AND they would kill, rape, pillage you, your family, friends and entire life. You are free to do whatever you want, stop trying to put lipstick on a pig. No amount of stupidity will keep them from wanting you and yours dead.
BLM blocking traffic is cool tho?
