Man arrested for driving through protest crowd

From your own source:


If they had already closed the highway, why would they be arresting the terrorists? Obviously they were blocking the highway illegally, and the leftist terrorist scumbag that died got precisely what she deserved. Her Darwin Award is in the mail.

Btw, here's a twitter feed from Trooper Rick Johnson where you can see repeated tweets announcing the closing and reopening of the I-5 due to protesting from as far back as May 30th.

You and I would be making two very different assumptions.

If I were driving down the highway and saw civilian vehicles parked sideways, completely dark, with no flashing lights anywhere. I would assume a criminal roadblock whose purpose is either to rob me or harm me or my property.

I would be searching frantically for any law enforcement vehicle, and if I saw none, I would see if I could find a way around the potential death-trap. If I saw an opening, I would accelerate towards it as quickly as I thought I could safely make it through. Mind you, I'm only concerned about MY safety. I couldn't give a damn about the safety of the terrorists seeking to harm me.

If I hit any of the terrorist scum, I would not slow down or stop. I would continue driving at a high rate of speed until I could find law enforcement.

a) Well, I guess I''m different to you in that I'm not paranoid.
b) they weren't terrorists.

The highway was obviously not closed down by authorities, or there would have been emergency vehicles and flashing lights to warn on-coming drivers that the highway was closed. It was illegally blocked by terrorists, and at least two of those terrorist scum got precisely what they deserved. They are certainly eligible for Darwin Awards.

Protesters aren't terrorists. Why do you hate the 1st amendment? The police had closed the highway. Th driver drove the wrong way up an exit ramp and drove at speed past a roadblock and into protesters, killing one of them. Why the hell are you defending this? Do you think it's okay to just go around killing people because you don't agree with their politics?
 
It should be illegal for a peaceful protest to impede motor vehicle or pedestrian traffic.
A stiff fine AND jail time might be a good start.

It's kind of funny watching him bend over backwards to defend a guy that entered a freeway by using an off ramp, admitted to police he was suffering from Percocet withdrawal, has another addiction of an undisclosed substance, had drug paraphernalia in his vehicle as well as possible meth.

That's solid poster child material there.

That would make all protests illegal unless they were hovering in the air.

It's not license to run folk over. If protesters take over interstates and highways, then the police need to clear those roads. But you don't get to run over folk because they're there.

What happened to dismantle the police? Who do we call when people block roads and there is no police?

No, it would limit to where they could exercise their Right to protest without imposing on others Right to go about their business. Traffic could be detoured around the protesters.

Where could a protest be held that that didn't impede pedestrians, given that rules out sidewalks and parks/open spaces.

I never said anything about dismantling the police. And we do have police.

Do you support dismantling or defunding the police in any way?

No. Is this how you make arguments? You make assumptions and run with them?

lol

I don't see why parks would be ruled out, or streets if closed and traffic was detoured.

If I read the link correctly, the protest in this link was NOT blocking traffic, and the person arrested left the road to drive his vehicle through the protestors.
Had it occurred on the road and his life was being threatened, I might feel he would have been justified to run over someone in self defense.

Great that is one of you. Are you aware that leftists are actively trying to defund the police? Joe Biden calls it redirecting funds. Are you voting for Joe Biden? If so it looks like you do actually support defunding the police.

I am not voting for Joe Biden, so you got any other assumptions in there?

lol

It wasnt an assumption. As you can see I placed a question mark there asking you to state your position.
Now, do you wish to tell us who you are voting for? Otherwise I will then make an assumption.

I've already stated on this board many times whom I plan to vote for, it's the other Jo. Jorgensen.

It's not sad. It's my vote, I get to invest it into the candidate I feel is best. Jorgensen is my pick for that. Biden and Trump are Huge Government status quo candidates, I haven't like the expansion that government has taken, particularly in increasing force against our rights and liberties.

I just think there are times when one needs to vote for the country and not for someone's boutique candidate.

You people have never admitted there were any and we've known that's not true. Where there's one there will be more......like cockroaches who also scatter when the light goes on.
