This was a Critical Mass event, which is why the bicyclists are taking up all of the street as a way to reclaim the streets and protest the lack of safety for riders under usual conditions. It's not legal, but protests are never useful if they're fully legal now, are they.

It's wild that you can claim to know exactly what I would do. A smart man would know better than to make such strong assumptions about someone's character.

Your logic doesn't hold up because this isn't a struggle for justice. This is people driving head on into traffic through a red light. What are they accomplishing with this, what justice are they championing? Being able to ignore all traffic laws and put themselves in danger by doing so?

By your warped world view I can do anything I want and say it's for a cause, and if you disagree you only want unjust peace. This is a blanket dumb stance you can take to literally justify anything. You can say ICE deporting everyone is right, and anyone saying it isn't only wants the unjust peace of illegals being here. No nuance. That's a dumb ass stance but your logic supports it.

This is paper thin logic hanging onto a concept you don't fully understand.
