A fight broke out on the 110 Freeway DTLA in Los Angeles as pro-Hamas protesters were sitting in a line together blocking traffic during rush hour. They even had a large menorah sitting out there in front of them.

Here’s more from KTLA:

75 protesters demanding cease-fire in Gaza were detained after blocking the southbound lanes of the 110 Freeway at 3rd Street in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday morning, according to CHP.

The protest caused thousands of drivers to get stuck on the freeway for 90 minutes before multiple lanes reopened around 10:30 a.m.

Southbound traffic was backed up past Dodger Stadium before the CHP reopened all lanes around 11:30 a.m.

The California Highway Patrol responded to the protest shortly after 9 a.m. and started detaining protesters after they refused to clear the road. SkyCAL flew over the scene showing protesters sitting down and linking arms. A giant Menorah was also placed in the middle of the street.

A group called IfNotNow Los Angeles held the protest and said they wanted “to demand that all of our elected officials call for a lasting ceasefire and an end to U.S. support for Israel’s war on Gaza.”

They should be more than just detained. They should be arrested with some kind of stiff penalty that prevent stop them from doing this in the future. It’s not a peaceful protest if you’re blocking the roadway. If they don’t crack down on this, it’s going to keep happening.

For example, it also happened in Manhattan last night:
