As someone who has spent literally thousands and thousands of hours on LA freeways in my 75 yrs, this would make me upset. Even tho' I'm 100% in agreement with the protestors, I don't support blocking the freeways. As was mentioned elsewhere, there are too many important/urgent reasons people are on those roads and being blocked doesn't endear the protestors to the drivers...trust me!!
