I don't know about right wingers, but conservatives love the Constitution. Unlike the left who only support the Constitution when it is convenient for them. They have much more in common with the old Soviet constitution.

But, a word to the wise. Your right to free speech is not a right to block traffic and eff up my day. I'd run you over too.

Use a bike, hitchhike or stay home. :roll:

If we kept all of the vehicles off of the roads no one would get run over.

If you kept all of the moron people off the roads where they don't belong, there would be no problems.

Stupid behavior has consequences - stay off the roads.
 
The moral of the story?

Don't try and drive through a crowd of people...no matter how slowly.

And if they start attacking you (verbally or otherwise)...activate your teleportation device...because nothing good is going to come from it otherwise.

So the real moral of the story is develop a teleportation device.

Would it not be self defense to hit people who you believe will pull you out of your car and beat you?

Would it not be self defense if you shot someone who was going to hit you with his car?

So now You have a right to kill people for inconveniencing you? Since you are a fan of the Constitution, perhaps you can tell us where that is codified?

When did the RW decide that self-restraint was a bad thing?

If you block the road. and there is an ambulance on the highway and the patient inside dies because of your direct action you should be charged with murder.

If no one dies you should be charged with interference of an emergency vehicle.

That is not at all what happened. A big point that is being ignored in this thread is there was a section of road open in which cars were going away from the protesters. Not a hard concept.

Did you see the videos of the nurses out of thier cars yelling? It's dishonest to suggest folks could simply go around the protestors protesting that thug who got shot for charging a cop after robbing a store.

Are you in the right thread? This one is about the protest in Minneapolis.
 
As a white man, surrounded by angry black protesters, what is one to think. We clearly know what to expect based on the violence that has erupted thru the city already.

What video were you watching?

So the protesters in Minneapolis were not protesting the non-indictment of the officer who defended himself?> my bad.

Feel free to be dishonest since you have no where else to go at this point. Your post were about protestors blocking an ambulance than about two nurses yelling at them and now you won't even address those two points because they have zip to do with this thread. Now you come up with this new statement.

Are you daft? if you block a highway, you block all the people on that highway. including any emergency vehicles and medical personel.

it's gross negligence.


btw:

"In Minneapolis, a rally turned scary when a car struck a protester and then burst through a pack of others who surrounded it. A woman suffered minor injuries."

Best part of the story. lol

No, I'm rather intelligent to see the game you are playing.

I am playing no game. I am simply holding the opinion that idiots who block highways to protest deserve to get run over, and if they cause one ambulance or medical professional any delays they should be charged with a felony.

Keep doubling down. When I stated these people were not rioting you stated
Just committing felonious interference with emergency vehicles.

Which is FALSE.

you purposefully left out "if they" to suggest a statement I never made was false. That isn't what I said.
 
I doubt that it actually 'plowed' through the crowd.

It probably moved through the crowd at reduced speed.

If it had 'plowed' through the crowd there would have been a lot of dead and injured people.

From the video, it looks like the driver tried to "nudge" through, and people wouldn't move, then a couple of them got up onto the hood of his car, obstructing his view. I doubt he was even aware of the young woman who was knocked down, as the mob was obstructing his view.

If it had been me, I'd have probably done the same thing, as I would have felt highly threatened, considering the circumstances.

Plowing does not require much speed. The word is defined by its' effect, not its' speed.

In fact, most plowing is done at a fairly slow speed.

Post 353 shows your exact quote. Your latest post is an example of you skirting this erroneous statement in which you keep doubling down on.
