BOSTON, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Sit-ins on Interstate 93 north and south of Boston snarled rush-hour traffic Thursday morning.
The highway goes through the heart of the city. The northbound lanes were blocked in Milton, Mass. and the southbound in Medford, Mass.

Blocking the Expressway during rush hour is NOT the right way to get your message out. #VeryDangerous #PeacefulProteatsSpeakTheLoudest
