This is really despicable.
Less than a month after a man died because “Black Lives Matter” protestors blocked an ambulance in Berkeley, “Black Lives Matter” protestors just blocked an ambulance in Boston.
The Boston Globe reports:
Protesters snarl morning commute on I-93 near Boston
Protesters affiliated with the activist group Black Lives Matter carried out their most audacious and disruptive demonstration yet in the Boston area Thursday, blocking the largest highway into the city, snarling rush-hour traffic, and stopping an ambulance in its tracks.
In a pair of coordinated surprise actions that angered commuters, the protesters formed human barricades on Interstate 93 north of the city in Medford, and south, in Milton. Some put barrels filled with concrete on the highway and chained themselves to them. Twenty-nine protesters were arrested.
Blocking traffic is not going to convert anyone to their point of view.
On the contrary, it makes them look ridiculous.
And if they are trying to prove that “black lives matter,” then blocking ambulances is an especially dumb thing to do. I guess it never occurred to them that the patient in the ambulance might be black. Or perhaps it did occur to them, but they just don’t care.
I wonder how many black people were late for work because of these protestors.
I wonder how many black people missed a job interview because of these protestors.
I wonder how many black college students missed an exam because of these protestors.
To any decent human being, black lives do indeed matter. But if black lives truly mattered to these protestors, they would not be preventing black people from getting to the hospital, to work, to job interviews, or to school. Instead, they would be doing something constructive – something positive and beneficial – that actually helped black people, instead of hurting them.
The purpose is to bring about a breakdown in the civil order, leading to the overthrow of the legally-elected government.
Communist tactics.
Just run em over. A mob can’t stop an automobile if you are willing to put your foot on the gas.
Hehe ... imagine if dozens of “Death Mobiles” ala Animal House showed up to a march?
“I wonder how many black people missed a job interview because of these protestors.”

I don’t.
I think it will lead to a growing feeling that Black Lives Don't Matter if it's an emergency and they are blocking the road.
You are apparently unfamiliar with the First Generation Honda CR-V line of vehicles. They don't have the mass or the power to move a strong headwind out of the way, let alone a hundreds-deep line of protesters. The squirrels just ain't up to the task.
I’m REALLY lucky to live on a great Island where even when that fat black guy died, they rioted in manhattan insead of here.
Hospital is five minutes away. Neighbors have businesses so they own guns.
But if a loved one died because of BoweLMovement, I would go isane!! and there wouldn’t be enough cops to stop me from beating the ### out of a bunch of BoweLMovement folk.
If they blocked the road, I would get out and start kicking them. But that’s just me.
Like I said, i’d beat the #### out of some of them, but I would not go to prison for life for murder!! Hitting them with a car is a whole new level!!
As someone who remembers the original Black Panthers (Huey Newton et all), the Symbionese Liberation Army (Donald Defreeze, anyone?) how is this group different? All we need is a multi-millionaire with a kidnapped daughter throwing money and food to the dumbed-down, greedy rioters!
One of the best scenes in a great movie, IMHO
I think it will lead to a growing feeling that Black Lives Don’t Matter if it’s an emergency and they are blocking the road.
I dunno do numbers matter? 13% vs 87%
Who would be able to trust after all of this?
Zero did this for power not because he a moochie care about their bretheren. They don’t.
I’ve argued with several black people that BLM doesn’t care about black lives unless taken by police, because they don’t care that more black people - many children and teens - were killed thus far in Chicago gang violence than killed by police all of last year.
Tens of thousands of blacks are murdered by blacks each year, and BLM cares about a hundred or two that were killed by cops.
It isn’t the fault of the BLM if someone dies because the road is blocked by protesters. Put the blame where it belongs - on law enforcement and their political masters. It’s their job to keep the streets clear for emergency traffic.
It’s July — It’s warm out.
While the BLM idiots are out protesting they are only making a strong argument against the left and for TRUMP.
By the time November rolls around, and it is getting cold out again, the BLM idiots will all disappear back into their section 8 housing and because this isn’t an “historic election” their turnout numbers will undoubtedly be very low — Congratulations President Trump!!
Oh, and Soccer Mom’s Hate being scared — Soccer Mom’s will either stay home or vote Trump, because protests blocking traffic scare the hell out them. They will ultimately come around to Trump, because he talks about “Making America Safe Again, and Making America Great Again.”
Next time they shut down an Interstate, have cop cars drive from both directions, sandwiching the 'protesters' between the cars so they can be easily herded into a cattle truck for transport to the jail.
Run ‘em over and make the family pay for the car wash.
If you happen to be in the first line of cars there is a great product called “Liquid Ass.” They won’t stick around long with a generous application up wind.
