Same thing happens here whenever the illegal aliens decide to flood onto the
freeways and shutdown the evening commute. The mayor refuses to let the cops
intervene and put a stop to it. It'd be nice if the CHP or the sheriff's
department would take up the slack since the mayor has no authority over them
but I imagine their bosses all share the same collectivist agenda, too.
