If people decide to protest, they must do it. If stopping traffic is a consequence of it, there's nothing wrong. I mean, war is interferring with our lives... So this is not disrespecting any kind of sacred rule, it's only expressing the basic right of disagreement to others. It can be annoying for others, but in cases like this one it's not that we can speak using these terms.
As for attacking stores like McDonalds, that's one thing I can't stand. Ok, you want to discredit the power of a country boycotting its symbols. Don't go to the McDonalds, don't wear American brands of clothing, don't smoke American cigarettes and so on... But why do you have to use violence to express your ideas? That's plain stupid. It means you are the first to think a peaceful protest won't be effective. You're in brief acting in the same way of the form of powers you're trying to boycott. This is nonsense, and it's also quite hypocritical.
