From Breitbart: A driver cursed at pro-Palestinian protesters who tried to obstruct his vehicle on Thursday night outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.
A protest march that swelled to thousands of participants moved through the city, from Union Park to the United Center, where the convention was being held and Vice President Kamala Harris was delivering her nomination acceptance speech.
Some demonstrators, wearing masks or keffiyehs, sat down in the road or stood in front of vehicles trying to make their way through the city.
There were scuffles between convention attendees and protesters, as well as confrontations with local residents just trying to drive home.
The report notes that protesters ordered some drivers to say whether they supported the Palestinian cause before they would allow them to drive forward.

One driver was having none of it, and angrily stepped out of his vehicle to confront a protester, who had thrown himself onto the hood of his car, pretending he had been struck.
According to journalists on the ground, the protester’s action cracked the man’s windshield.
“I don’t give a f*ck about Palestine!” the driver reportedly screamed at the protesters.
