What Is The Best Way To Deal With Street Protesters That Hold Up Traffic?

[Foxfyre]

How would you deal with a street protest that was keeping you from getting to work?

I have actually encountered that twice in my lifetime. I recommend people turn around and find a route around the demonstration. If the demonstrators/protesters become militant and aggressive, that could save you from bodily harm or even being murdered.

I also find little justification for unlawfully blocking traffic, disrupting normal commerce, or otherwise making innocent people's lives harder, more complicated, miserable and those doing it should be subject to arrest or substantial fines.

Not funny!

High pressure fire hoses would do the trick in short order!

Might makes right.

That’s what you’re saying.

Proverb: "When at the only tool one has is a hammer, they tend to see every problem as a nail". The right wing loons have no other tools (mind, conscience, ethics, scruples, dignity) so yeah...you've got them pegged.

Tell them there's some free weed the next block over.

The issue is that most people don't think like that.

And ironically those same people. Use double standards Based on who's doing the protesting.

The democrats who. Support these protesters would be angered if it were republican protesters blocking streets. And the same Republican posters on this very site. Who? Are outright? Calling for people to run them over in the street would be completely supportive of any republican protesters who were doing the same thing.

Republicans and democrats are really the same. They're all stupid pieces of s***.

Live in a state (like Florida) that doesn't put up with that shit.

The only reason you would fear for your life is because this is America, where the protestors are protected by police.
But in Peru some schmuck pulled something like this and they literally tore him limb from limb.
That's the way America used to be.
I remember when if you pulled a stunt like this, the only thing beating you to the hospital would be the headlights of the ambulance that takes you there. We'd beat the crap out of you. But the left has the police protecting these degenerates.

That's where you're wrong. No Republican does this. Only Democrats do.
We take care of business within the law.
We aren't dead-set on disrupting everyone else's lives to get what we want.

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

The same truckers who had their lives destroyed by Trudeau. Shut down everything they need to survive.

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.

There’s so many flaws in your simple minded post.

Dumb.

Pay them more to move out of the way than the DNC is paying them to block the street.

The obvious answer is stop snd wait for the cops

But what if the cops are under the command of a woke mayor and police chief and never show up?

 

[Resnic]

Throw them in jail and fine then.

They should spend 72 hours at least in jail and a 1000 dollar fine for first offense.

Of course BLM and antifa popularized the idea you can protest in streets and intteruot people's lives and pretty much do anything you want. Because no one would stop those assholes they made the idea a protest is blocking roads, harassing everyday citizens, acting like a dick and disrupting everything.

Protesting is fine, but if you can't do it in a reasonable manner you should be given one chance to disperse and if you don't then they cart your ass away.

These stupid morons don't even realize people like me if i harrased by them all it would do is turn me against them.

And if the cops don't show up and they disrupt people then it should be legal to kick the living shit out of them. If the city won't send them to jail the citizens should send them to the hospital.

If I know that libs are swarming and blocking a particular location I will use a different route to avoid them

But if they take me by surprise I will protect myself as non violently as possible

Yeah, the best way is to avoid these riots and savages. Its just not worth engaging them.

I wont engage them unless they give me no choice

And that depends on whether the squat-to-pee lib democrat police force do their job or not

I wont passively allow myself or my family to be dragged from our car and be beaten to death by libs
