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.

Climate activism is a rich liberal’s game
The Nevada footage is not “shocking”
“The Nevada footage is not “shocking””
Actually it was kind of shocking how efficiently and expediently the Indian Rangers took care of the situation in Nevada.
They are interfering with interstate commerce.
One can only hope.
From the sounds of the drivers, we're almost to the point of protestors getting run over.
A friend stopped for coffee near the Black Rock years ago with an antelope on the roof of his Tahoe. With blood dripping, the Burning Man attendees had a bit of a problem.
"Shocking"???
"Awesome", in my book.
> The Nevada footage is not “shocking” <
And the Rangers did not plow into the protesters. They plowed into the flimsy barricades the protesters set up. Big difference.
For example, each protester blocking 1,000 vehicles with 1,200 occupants for three hours would serve at a minimum 150 days in prison.
If the organization has even one person commit the same crime again, RICO them all and lock them all up for double the previous sentence. Double it every time after that.

Makes me wonder who’s paying this idiots to block our roads. I also wonder when another Charlottesville will occur.

Note. That link is as full of BS media lies as ever you’ve seen.
😂😂😂. Yeah, the asscowns in d.c. got treated a lot better than the assclowns here in NV. Seemed the d.c. cops were more PO’d at the commuters. Too bad nobody had one of the newer ICE Mustangs with the electric exhaust switches to back up to them and rap the engine to 3 grand or so a couple times. My neighbor has one and it is LOUD!
These “climate activists” are actually violent terrorists posing an imminent threat to the health and safety of drivers and passengers in the vehicles. These terrorists should be immediately removed from the road by whatever force is necessary to restore the safety of vehicles and their occupants.
"Climate Protestors" worth 100 points each!
“the Burning Man attendees had a bit of a problem”
I’m guessing they weren’t just upset that he didn’t bring enough antelope for everyone.
It should be completely legal to just drive right over these morons.
It would be effective if a dozen motorists simultaneously set those banners on fire. I imagine the human roadblocks would move.
