I would slowly roll up to them honk my horn and continue to move through them.

Honk at them, if they don't move, knock down their silly asses.

Test their commitment!

Mace cannons are one of my favorites. Leftists running around rubbing their eyes and screaming for water.

Prepare to get your car damaged. That's the problem.

Drag them from the road. Easy enough.

Civilians can do the same.

Yeah it seem excessive but it only seems that way.....Essentially once you are boxed in by other traffic they are holding you against your will.....At least that would be the way I saw it if I was on a jury.

Not much you can do except slow roll through them, if they stand in front of your car, let’s face it, you can’t run them over, unless they are attempting to break your windows or enter the vehicle, then you have the right to get out of the situation.

The best thing you can do is call your local officials and your congressmen and get them to get the police to enforce the law. They need to arrest these rioters for disturbing the peace and blocking the right of way and preventing people from their right to freedom of movement.

Apparently, people believe they have the right to protest wherever, whenever, and that they have the right to force others to listen to their protest. That is not the case. You have the right to peacefully assemble to petition the government. some would argue that to petition means literally to gather together to collect signature on a petition to submit to government for change.

Regardless, it means you can petition the government, meaning you can gather in a place near a government building and have your protest. It does not mean you can go into residential areas, into the streets, and disturb other people. Your right to protest does not mean you can force others to listen to your protest. You can’t get up in their faces, assault them in restaurants, block traffic, take over freeways etc.

It’s time the police enforce this to keep people them from interfering in other people’s lives.

Think Tiananmen Square but with faster vehicles.

It wasn’t a big deal to you guys when the Canadian truckers did it.

I am not advocating for this, but how could it be illegal to OOPS someone in the middle of a major road?

About a year ago, I saw some woman walking down the middle of I4, just west of Orlando. In the middle of a lane on a 4 lane highway.

I called FHP and they asked me what she was wearing.

True Story, cars were swerve to avoid this obviously mentally ill person.

So if someone hit her, would they be repsonsible?

Just fucking drive.

How do they lay in the street without people letting them?

 

[JWBooth]

Those old South Vietnamese Buddhist bar-b-cues come to mind.

I would have loved to see Canadian motorists slam into 18 wheelers.

My money is on the truck.

 

[ColonelAngus]

If someone is lying in the roads and you oops them, how are you legally responsible?

Anyone of you go to your nearest Highway right now and lay in the road.

See what happens.

Might makes right.

That’s what you’re saying.

Take a different route to work. It's not that hard, or hard to figure out.

If you came upon a wreck of 12 vehicles you would find another way around it, knowing that otherwise emergency vehicles would have you sitting there for 45 minutes. This is no different, other than your impotent rage.

No, keep your protest out of the street. Nobody should have to alter their lives so you can have a protest. You protest on your own time, and away from other people.
