Pro Palestinian Road Blocker...(Meddic should have used a blow torch)

It also makes people hate them.

That’s covered by their cause though.

@NCREDSTATE

Much like your freedom of speech does not oblige me to listen.

Did you support the trucker convoy?

Sure looks that way to me. Protest all you want but the citizenry is not required to pay attention to your protest. Blocking roads is a way of forcing people to pay attention to your cause. That should not be allowed.

I agree with all of that except the last sentence whynot? Why should it not be allowed? Inconvenience?

Standing in the road is just as recklessly endangering lives as driving 100+MPH on that same road.

Of course it is. But that’s not what they are doing. They are walking into medium to heavy traffic to stop traffic.

Walking into traffic is just as reckless and endangering as driving 100+MPH on that same road.

Reckless endangerment - charge them with that. No new laws needed.

Or even jaywalking…if you want to be nice.

Given the apathy and the general dislike for their cause i think doing something like stopping traffic is a way to get to popularize their cause

I’d say it’s a way to get a ■■■■ ton of inconvenienced people lined up against their cause.

We should reserve that for privileged protestors, like those children of terrorist-loving congress critters.

Because it’s protest.
Freedom….

The few hours of inconvenience seems like what the actual issue is but should we be inconvenienced with other people exercising speech

I look at one’s “Time” as a form of ones “Property”
If one chooses to pay attention to another’s cause, so be it. That person is freely giving of his/her time to better understand the protester’s grievance. That is their business. Even the government is not supposed to take our property without just compensation. A free citizen should in no way be compulsed to pay attention to another’s grievance.

If you walk by a protest that was permitted by the state. Which is a weird thing to say to begin with you are still “compulsed”

I think there is a lot rationalization here for trying to choose how other people should protest

As i said in the other thread - what they are protesting is the main issue. How they are choosing to do so it’s upto them

They already are but you are not wrong.

We saw the support for the trucker convoy on this forum.

All of that support seems to dissipate when those other people protest.

Blocking a road could prevent an ambulance from getting a seriously ill person to the hospital.

Could cost a life.

They should have cut him loose as fast as possible regardless of any pain to him and then send him to prison after a short trial.

The right to speech trumps the right to travel?

How? Do you generally find sitting in traffice “popular”?

That could be flipped back to say those who didn’t support the trucker convoy have no problem supporting this.

Of course it can.

I don’t think they trump each other. I think they should be treated equally.

Ok. Then yours ends where mine begins. I fully support your right to protest. Where it doesn’t impede my travel.

But they almost always do. Even the permitted ones. If they are permitted to be in the right of way then they are an inconvenience.

I think the dislike for the cause is being projected onto the form of protest.

[WuWei]

Oh no! You block my way to or from work, the means I use to feed my family, I don’t give a rat’s ass about your cause.

[conan]

Couple things…stupidity should hurt.

Secondly…right to protest. Okay you have that right.

But it’s funny how libs says it’s okay to protest while infringing on right of movement by others…but same libs wanted to force others to wear a mask and take unproven vaccine to themselves.

See the hypocrisy?

Are we in America or Canada? Who was inconvenienced?
