You have no right to impede traffic, you have no right to induce panic. I do have the right, however, to defend my self with deadly force if I feel my life is in danger. We have seen time and time again the danger that mobs pose to drivers.
Now, you can sit there and play blind man all you want, but here are the facts, the driver is not in jail and was not charged.
Be it known to all of you that would participate in mob activities and attempt to block traffic, those of us with the guts to defend ourselves are going to run you down, I have no responsibility or inclination to give you the benefit of the doubt that you won't drag me out and beat me like Reginald Denny.
You may sit here and try to justify these protesters actions, have at it, but you have been duly warned that your foolish actions will have grave consequences.
If you threaten me or mine with violence believe me you'll get more than you bargained for, those of us that are law abiding peaceful citizens are sick of your snip.

Pretty much. It's been this way for a long while. It's just the most recent string of protests over the last few years that highlighted it. They have effectively and utterly demonized the right to protest in this country and that is a grievous mistake.
**To add, Madison viewed the right to free speech and protest as some of the pinnacles of liberty. Yes, they can create mob but the elimination or condemnation of those two rights risked liberty itself. That's why these are tucked in the First Amendment. They were first and foremost on his mind in things that need absolutely protecting to assure liberty.

It sure looks like there is an agenda to make protesting via civil disobedience that our founding fathers approved of look evil in what is supposed to be Freedom of speech.
I suppose the establishment would like nothing better to regulate it out of existence unless you have money to buy it like in bribing politicianas.
sarcastically speaking
We need Big Government to regulate Protests More until they completely regulate it out of existence.
If you are in the street you are blocking my way
If you are near my building, your noise is distracting me
If you are in my city, you are making us look bad on the media
If you are protesting you are getting freedom of speech without paying for it
If you want change, get a job and bribe politicians like everyone else. You need to pay for freedom of speech.
And throw the constitution away
Signed the establishment

We have seen time and time again citizens drug from their cars and beaten.
If you stand in the street and get hit by a car, your own stupidity is at the very least partially to blame.
If you threaten me and mine with violence it will be visited upon you, is not a threat, it is common sense, and if you don't feel the same way I feel sorry for you and yours.
You can't honestly believe that the reason he wasn't charged was because the cops hate protesters, or can you?
My right to self defense trumps your right to civil disobedience.

Skadi, look at my post on the previous page. I show exactly who did what and when. The guy in the car was unquestionably the aggressor here. He was the first to initiate anything happening.
Here's the link.

Just ignore the first part if you want where I'm railing against abe. That isn't part of the evidence.
