Solution: run the protesters over.
They will learn, or else.

Last week Montana LEGALIZED hitting protesters with your car, if they’re actively blocking you.

Well what actually happened - and I should have put this in my initial comment - is that EMS knew from dispatch that the highway connector where the mob had encamped was blocked and gridlocked. So they took an alternate, indirect and slower route. Neither the mob or the police ever even saw an ambulance, or at least not this one. And the patient was not a pregnant woman as mentioned in the article but someone with a tension pneumothorax requiring a needle decompression performed by the medic prior to arrival at the hospital. Had the main route been available (easily passable on a Saturday) the patient would have gotten to the hospital in a timely fashion and been treated there.

Not Montana.

North Dakota is considering such a law, owing to the destructive pipeline protests, but I don’t think they have yet brought it up for vote.

The police deserve the blame. They allowed a hundred idiots to shut down a highway. They should have started cracking skulls as soon as the first foot stepped off the curb.
