Furious commuters were seen tearing banners away from climate activists blocking traffic in the middle of rush hour in Washington, DC, in the latest showdown between eco-warriors and everyday drivers.
Angry motorists climbed out of their cars to shout at members of anti-fossil fuel group Declare Emergency who blocked the busy road in the city on Saturday morning.
'I want to work, I want to go to work,' one man was heard saying as he yanked their banners from their hands.
'You don't give a f***, get the f*** out of here! We have to go to f***ing work,' another woman was heard yelling at the protestors' faces.
'We got kids to feed, b---h,' she fumed.
The protest was quickly dispersed as Metropolitan police quickly arrived and gave warnings, causing the protestors to leave. As they stood, officers announced they were all under arrest.
It is the latest example of conflicts between eco-protestors and the public, with the footage coming at the same time shocking footage in Nevada showed police plowing into protestors outside the Burning Man festival entrance.

Antelope is second only to elk. Venison 3rd tied with buffalo. Lettuce is last.
They’re doing this foolishness in America now.
My bet: Within two years of these blockades, somebody is going to get shot by a frustrated driver.
In this country, a lot of people are armed, legally and otherwise.
interesting
the eco protests are not sanctioned events
btw they were calling for a climate emergency to be declared
its coming folks
winter is coming
Those blocked should sue them civilly under the RICO statute.
These worthless aholes need to get the hell beaten out of them and left bleeding out on the side of the road. Vultures gotta eat too.
There’s no rush hour in DC on Saturday morning.

Works for me.
Ridiculous doomsday cult over hyped propaganda.
What they really need to learn about is what Almighty God has to say about the future.
Satan keeps them distracted with Al Gore hysteria / Gaia worship.
Absolutely correct. Some of them, very rich indeed. Want to know who's funding this stuff? This article names some names. Hollywood stars, heiresses, people with private jets.
I do note the effort in the media to label these protests "non-violent". Blockading roads is not non-violent. Keeping people by physical force from going about their daily lives is not non-violent. Preventing emergency medical aid for those in extremis is very much not non-violent.
Can a citizens arrest be legally implemented in situations like this? Any legal beagles wish to chime in?

That was great! “I’ll snatch you bald-headed, you wench!”
Good for those citizens dragging that trash off the road.
Old bicycle theft chains with locks on the end is the answer. Drag their buts to the curb, wrap that chain around them and to the nearest sign on the curb, insert the teeth into the lock, spin the number tumblers and get in your car and drive off.
Those protesters desperately need wood shampoos!
warnings? Arrest the b*stards.
Try it in Florida they’d be road kill...we have a law that we can run over rioters and others blocking the streets...
Nice.
