Last night, I-94 between St Paul and Minneapolis was closed for several hours last night, during a protest over the recent shooting of Philando Castile. Protesters were throwing bottles, rocks and even rebar.
Police chief 'disgusted' by violence at I-94 protest; 27 officers hurt
About 100 arrests total, roughly half on the interstate and the others elsewhere in the city.

Occupying Interstates isn't going to win these idiots any sympathy.
"......Riot police in full gear stopped a group of protesters in Baton Rouge late Sunday in their attempt to walk onto Interstate 110 in Baton Rouge, thwarting a protest tactic that social justice activists have increasingly tried in several U.S. cities....
....More than a thousand people left a Black Lives Matter rally in Memphis, Tennessee, and walked up a bridge over the Mississippi River on Sunday night, temporarily blocking all traffic on Interstate 40.
At a West Coast protest, hundreds of people poured into the streets of in Southern California late Sunday night, blocking traffic for several minutes on the 405 Freeway. Authorities told the Los Angeles Times there were no arrests and no reports of violence.
Elsewhere, hundreds blocked a segment of Interstate 94 in Minneapolis-St. Paul on Saturday. And hundreds also blocked motorists recently on part of Interstate 264 in Portsmouth, Virginia.
Demonstrators have also tried but failed in recent days to block highways in Atlanta and Columbia, South Carolina...."

Montana is the Buffalo Bills of the FCS and we havent been anywhere near an elite team since 2002.
Its sad people have to live in the past to make themselves feel better about the current averageness of our program in shambles.

I have never once been stuck in traffic as a result of a protest march and thought to myself, "man, I'm glad I'm being inconvenienced and made late because people wanted to walk in my path. I sure am going to look into this movement, educate myself, and join their protest". Nor have I ever been so pissed at being inconvenienced that I resolved not to have this happen again and would fight for whatever the protesters were protesting for just so that they would no longer be out there blocking me. Just saying.

So did that make the traffic on I-94 any worse than usual? Isn't that the same road that had the bridge collapse a few years ago?

No, the bridge was on I-35, in Minneapolis, North/South road. I-94 is East/West.

Ivy's license is in Delaware. I'm not sure that kind of driving trivia comes up on however they test drivers in Delaware. I'm not even sure they test anyone down there.

I never understand how the hay trucks make it wherever they are going and still have hay at the end. The amount of hay that blows off of those trucks is astounding.
