State is going to have to do better job of blocking the bridge

People are throwing the barricades out of the driving lane and going on thru, if the bridge is unsafe,state needs to do something!!

Becker, this is where natural selection might play a role. If you’re brazen enough to remove a barrier to cross a damaged bridge, maybe the my freedoms argument will meet the law of nature, which is the only original true law. Plus that area will likely get a new bridge. It’s a win/win.
