"Black Lives Matter" protest in Boston

Makes the protests in Chicago seem like a cake-walk:

1) Run a PVC pipe through the middle of a barrel
2) Fill barrel with concrete.
3) Two protesters on either side join hands and cuff themselves together inside the PVC.
4) Every commuter of every race in Boston probably hates you now.

The actions surprised police, snarled the commute for thousands, and forced the diversion of an ambulance rushing a car crash victim to a Boston hospital, State Police said.
Eesh.

Yeah seems like there would have been a way to get the message across without endangering innocents, given that the theme is objecting to institutionalized danger to innocents.

I'm alive. I got a bit of a talking to by my boss about spending too much time on the computer and haven't been using the computer much at home. That said, this does seem a bit more smartphone friendly than the last forum

Anyway, yeah. No one was happy about this ploy.

...why are they all white.

If they cause an accident, there is 0% chance of black casualties on their side and >0% chance of black casualties as a result of their actions.
