Poll: Do You Support the Black Lives Matter I-93 Protest?

Black Lives Matter protesters blocked all inbound lanes of Interstate 93 north and south of Boston Thursday.

29 individuals were arrested, Timothy Alben, colonel superintendent of Massachusetts State Police, said in a Thursday press conference.

As Patch’s John Waller and Liz Taurasi reported, a white box truck unloaded nine protesters on I-93 North at 7:30 a.m., south of the city in Milton. Six of the protesters then chained their hands together inside 1,200-pound barrels filled with cement, while three stood nearby, Alben said. Two people in the box truck were arrested as well, for a total of 11 arrests at that location.

Ten minutes later, 18 protesters chained themselves together on I-93 South north of the city in Medford, according to Alben.
