Dude, brush up on your history. Peaceful demonstrations have routinely used blocking off highways, railways, and stuff for a short time as a method of protest since like... forever.
That said, I'm pretty sure their protest didn't "blockade" (your words, you should look the meaning of blockade) the city. It's not like they had to do an airlift or air drop of critical resources to keep people alive behind the "blockade."
You call that and act of war? Roll another joint, spark it up and think a bit more before you go all Tiananmen Square.
