Festivals of every kind - be it musical, religious, political (protests)... Strikes where the major central traffic circle were overtaken... Yet somehow, life went on.

All good reasons to shut a road down. Again - that's the key - having a good enough reason. The issue at hand is the fact that some think this reason - just wasn't nearly good enough.
