Cant make an omlet without breaking a few eggs.....this is a duplicate of your other troll thread is it?
Your consistent with your own little propaganda campaign aren't you?
That old man neither asked to be made part of their protest nor did anything to them. So why should he have to suffer?
For all you know, he was black.
It's all peaceful protest until they kill someone. I'll bet you were all over the idea of indicting Chris Christie for Bridgegate, too.

Stirling you seemed pretty balanced judging from your other posts. Are you going with the "two wrongs do make a right"' justification?
No I just think this is an agenda driven troll thread.....the discussion will serve to alienate the people from those who are trying to change things for the betterment of society......
Protest is the only avenue of change that is feasibly available to the people whos needs are currently not being met by the society they happen to live in.

What cause do you think they are endearing the people to who they blocked from getting to work?
I don't think they are out to endear anyone, in fact, I think they WANT to cause disruption.
That is about the only way they will ever see any changes,
and that might not even work,
and that is what it is all about.
IMO
I was on the street today when the protesters disrupted the San Francisco BART (subway) system and marched up Market Street. I saw people hanging from light poles, shouting angrily and unintelligibly. I heard rap music (also unintelligible) being played loudly by people with boomboxes gesticulating angrily with pants belted down around their knees so they could hardy walk. I saw toilet paper being thrown into the trees. Meanwhile, all the commuters simply passed them by without much of a reaction or acknowledgement.
Unfortunately, no. Causing disruption to create social change is not really what it's about for many of the protesters. Causing a disruption simply because they can, or causing a disruption because they have a chip on the shoulder is what it's about for many. Before I get lambasted, I must say that there are some protesters who meet your description of trying to bring about change. But I see their numbers dwindling and the idiots (of any race) who always show up and spoil the party for everyone taking over. That's why, when the protests started in Ferguson, I was on the protesters side but as I hear see more, my perspective is gradually changing.
I certainly wouldn't run down protesters if I was only late for work. I'm usually very punctual and one late arrival would be easily excused by my superiors. Now if it was a family member or close friend literally dying in my back seat, I very much doubt I'd allow the protesters to block my path. I'd be far too focused on getting them to a hospital as quickly as possible.

It should be legal to run these d-bag protesters over in an emergency situation. I would be hard pressed not to step on the gas if I was late for work and they wouldn't move.

All lives matter... including that injured man. Take your protest to the side of the road.. you'll get more viewers that way. Blocking roads is illegal.
PS- Why not protest in the neighborhoods where blacks are being killed on a daily basis? Do those black lives matter?

Genius protestors block an ambulance carrying a badly injured 83-year old man from getting directly to a hospital. The man was involved in a serious car accident, and had to be taken to a different city.
The protestors were part of the "Black Lives Matter" group in Boston.
The Boston contingent of Black Lives Matter said in a statement that the protest was intended "to confront white complacency in the systemic oppression of black people in Boston."
If somebody dies because they stop an ambulance, how many people will get charged with murder? Does anybody buy their claim that they believe "All lives matter?"

So now you ask "what's it got to do with the topic" because you know the police have no right to refuse paramedics entry to someone gravely injured...

Wasn't it just yesterday that you posted a comment about how the protests had stopped and everybody was back to getting along because "99.9%" of people get along and work together just fine?
And then I posted a link about a protest 3 days ago in grand central station in NYC you ignored it completely.
Yea...I feel like that happened.

It is so obvious what your agenda is...all threads are meant to show blacks are bad people.
Every single thread you have made ..has to do with blacks and how bad they are.

For sure.
The number of protests and protesters is a comparative spec of dust in the big scheme of things. They're blocking 1000's of people who get along with each other from getting to work.
