On her commute home from a late night at her office job in Center City, Leanne Bridges was confused by the ineffectiveness of her honking.

“Everyone around me seemed just as angry as me, but most of the people in the street were happily chanting or simply tearing down street poles,” she explained.

Bridges drives a bright green pick-up truck with a license plate that reads “BRDSRULE” due to her background as an ornithologist. Needless to say, she drew more positive attention than she anticipated.

Angry and tired, Leanne grew frustrated by the large crowds and standstill traffic, so she began blaring her horn, screaming, and thrashing around. This only drew high-fives and smiles.

A flare fired directly into her car was the final straw for Leanne. She was forced to evacuate her vehicle, and promptly joined the riot, which she assumed was a demonstration against the traffic.
