To me it looked like she was on the sidewalk bc I saw cars driving by on what appeared to be the road. nt in2herbs Jan 2026 #9
She was indeed on the sidewalk. But she was talking to news crews, unlike the other demonstrators. SunSeeker Jan 2026 #13
I just mentioned it because the reports are that she was in the roadway, not on a sidewalk. nt in2herbs Jan 2026 #16

Of course their goal is to scare people. It sure as fuck isn't to keep roadways clear. SunSeeker Jan 2026 #18
