Is that insensitive?
You betcha!
I have a job. My employees have a job. The people I talked to at the Harvey Milk center yesterday had jobs (except the retirees and the full time students). You and Maggot are wrong in your belief that all protesters are jobless people with too much time on their hands. Some people make time for what they consider important.
Anyway, I don't agree with blocking freeways. I think that's dangerous and I understand why you think it's insensitive. It's not as insensitive as what the protesters I know are protesting, but it's insensitive and unproductive nonetheless, in my opinion.
