In reply to the discussion: Newsom issued a 2nd response to reported Trump plans to shut down I-5 and fire missiles for show during No Kings [View all]FHRRK
(1,410 posts)25. Attempt to intimidate
Protests will be along Pacific Coast Highway from San Clemente north to Long Beach. Assume San Diego protests will be from Oceanside south to San Diego. In between is Camp Pendleton where 20 miles of THE I5 (and for all non Californians, you must proceed any freeway/interstate with THE)
Problem is anyone driving between the two large cities will need to detour 60 to 100 plus miles or detour about 40 miles through Ortega Hwy (no THE required because it is just a Hwy) which is a fairly treacherous drive.
The inconvenience is one thing, but the chance of traffic fatalities is extremely high due to this bullshit vanity project.

Will there be little planes pulling long banners? Sky writers? Placards along the highways?

No wonder so many Kings were hated & killed. They were probably vainglorious dumb-asses like trump.
