And had I said it was under Federal Control you'd have a point.
My point is because they were concerned far right lunatics would infiltrate it trying to incite violence, they blocked off the most popular access point and made people come in another way. We were going to try and go to a smaller protest in Woodland which would be off 5 north but Google said a 50 minute drive would take 2 hours due to the backup where 5 runs by downtown Sacramento.
IMO they chose to block off the 50 to 80 portion this weekend to try and limit the size of the protest AND to make it easier to protect the protesters and get people out safely if things got out of hand.
But you do you
