Climate protesters from the activist group Declare Emergency blocked Interstate 395 eastbound near exit 5 on Friday morning, creating heavy traffic for almost half an hour.
The protest began at 8:40 a.m., according to WTOP. In the ten minutes between the start of the protest and the arrival of the police, enraged drivers gave the activists a piece of their minds.
Video from News2Share posted on Twitter depicted the confrontations.
One driver threw a group banner over the retaining wall to the southbound side of I-395, before telling the seated protesters that “People are trying to get to work, hundreds of people are trying to get to work,” before taking a second banner from the group.
