Is it that hard to plug your location into a gps and look for alternative routes? I think being a smidge late to wherever you’re going is better than hitting fucking pedestrians and getting charged for that
Don’t block traffic with your protests and you won’t get hit

I don’t think gps’ show protests, just traffic in a standstill. However depending where someone is going they may not need a gps. However if people are threatening to hurt you while in your vehicle you can flee for safety

Oh absolutely I’d be frustrated too. Even if it’s for a great cause. I feel the same way about construction but still, it’s a job I don’t wanna do and they gotta do it. Still I’m not running over workers or protestors

What about people who aren’t using GPS to go somewhere? Especially commuting to work, they go the same route they always go, and they should be able to get to their location without the road being blocked by protesters. These are everyday people, not government workers or big business, regular people.

Or protestors can not be in the middle of the road? That’s the most simple solution

No way you are defending those terrorist. If it’s the video I saw the person stopped at a red light and terrorists proceeded to break out his taillight and beat on the widows and doors. The driver had every right to defend themselves and the only ones to blame are the aggressive “protestors”.

I mean wouldn’t it be the same as any road closure? Like if there’s idk a festival and they have the roads closed for that. But what do I know lol. Goes both ways I don’t like seeing people hitting cars that are going through vs I don’t like seeing cars hitting people 😂😭

Not everything is announced. There are impromptu events and it puts everyone in a bad spot

I’m not saying I would run over protesters in the street, but I understand peoples’ frustration for sure. Imagine you’re already having a shitty day, then you get stopped by protesters unable to go forward, and are forced to move slightly up every 20 minutes. I’d be pissed the fuck off.

I’ve seen peaceful protests. But I’m sure there are some people who also take this chance to inflict violence no matter the side. Idk if I’d drive away quickly so I hurt others but maybe short bursts so it shakes them off. Idk I wouldn’t call them terrorists homie. We have the right to protest

I absolutely agree they have a right to protest but the moment they because aggressive they stopped being protestors. The definition of a terrorist is someone who uses unlawful violence and intimidation against civilians in the pursuit of political aims. That is exactly what they did.
