Throughout the western world, a LOT of people are getting fed up with these tantrums, and are getting a lot more aggressive against those throwing them.
And governments not doing anything to put a halt to them.
Imagine if someone waded into such protesters while wearing brass knuckles? They could clear a roadway in under a minute, once the agitators were incapacitated and dragged off the street. Then they could leave long before the cops made their appearance.
How about baseball bats with "Drill Baby Drill" printed on 'em?
