Ferguson Protesters Block Interstate Traffic
Come up with your own joke about the Commerce Clause.
Even though organizers said a protest to tie up traffic on local interstates had been put on hold at the request of Michael Brown Jr's family, several protesters elected to block traffic Monday afternoon.
Groups that have been protesting about Brown's death said they were asking protesters to block off area interstates Monday. Some organizers had called for demonstrators to pull onto local interstates around 4:30 p.m. and stop their cars. The Brown family attorney said that is not what the family wants.

Brilliant. This is almost like saying "shoot me next".
There ain't nothing that'll win hearts and minds like causing a traffic jam on a long weekend.
