San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan is seeking to curb “sideshows” by asking social media companies to ban users who post video content showcasing the illegal street shutdowns.
Sideshows have been menacing the streets of San Jose, shutting down intersections early in the morning and filling them with skid marks, smoke in the air, and sounds of car tires screeching. They are often accompanied by loud music, fireworks, and gunshots.
