Commuters were NOT happy when Ferguson protestors blocked a California freeway on the busiest travel day of the year. During morning rush hour on Wednesday, a group of students fanned out across Interstate 5 in La Jolla blocking traffic with signs about Ferguson and chanting, “No justice, no peace!” causing headaches for hundreds of people who were just trying to get to work on time.
Frustrations mounted as drivers got out of their cars to confront the protestors. One man, a father of 6 who works 3 jobs and was worried he would be fired if he was late to work, completely lost it – WATCH:
“I gotta go to Ross right now, homie,” Tyree Landrum told ABC 10News San Diego in the video. “If I don’t get there, I’m gonna get fired. I got six f***ing kids to feed, I gotta get this car off the… Day goes on homie. M*****f***ers get shot every f***ing day. Deal with it the right f***ing way, not like this.”
Landrum can then be seen in the video confronting a protester, yelling, “I’m about to lose my f***ing job, and you guys are f***ing out here protesting?”
One woman wearing medical scrubs got out of her car and began yelling at the protesters.
“Arrest them!” the nurse yelled. “We have doctors and nurses that have to save lives here.”
Police reportedly arrived about a half hour after the protest began, and immediately cleared the freeway. None of the protesters were arrested.

Blocking busy highways during rush hour has to be the worst (non-violent) way to gain sympathy for a cause. They are disrupting the lives of hard-working Americans who are just trying to get to their jobs so they can support their families and serve their communities.
If you were inspired by Tyree Landrum standing up to those protestors, a fund has been set up to give his kids a Merry Christmas:
[Ryan] Fusco started a crowdfunding campaign to help buy Christmas presents for Landrum’s six children. It has already doubled its fundraising goal with 26 days remaining.
