Protesters want to block the roads… but what happens when the cars don’t want to stop?
Like they do in prison. Just put piss and crap in a squeeze bottle.

We have already seen what happens next, and we have seen it multiple times now.
Regardless of circumstances, the driver gets arrested and prosecuted. Maybe they get acquitted. Then there is a civil suit with a substantial claim for damages. Maybe the civil suit loses or gets dismissed. But "The process is the punishment". In all possible outcomes, the driver will lose a lot of time and money at the very least. Note that there are always worse outcomes than losing time and money.
The pathways that avoid death or injury to the driver are the better ones.
These "mostly peaceful protests" only happen in areas where the authorities tacitly (or sometimes explicitly) support them. Justice is not the way to bet and should not be a consideration in choosing what to do next.
It is generally best to stay in your vehicle, lock the doors, and keep the windows closed.
Once somebody touches your vehicle with anything, it is best to drive through - slowly at first, then speed up when you have a opening. Floor it when you have an exit lane and get out of the area as quickly as you can. Do not stop for any reason.
Hitting a pedestrian at speed can disable your vehicle. So can crushing several pedestrians under your front end. You cannot risk being trapped. You must move slowly at your first push to break out.
If you do have a firearm - well, you need to be driving, not shooting. Give it to your passenger if you have one who is capable of using it. Any other weapon you might have would be worse than useless. Don't bother with them.
Remember that somebody else in that crowd of "mostly peaceful protesters" probably also has a firearm. Your best chances are that they will be at the opposite end of the crowd and cannot get a line on you. That is critical because you probably cannot see them or get a line on them. Your vehicle is the best weapon you have. Possessing a firearm or other weapon in this circumstance is just not very important.
You need to GTFO as quickly as you can. That is what is important.
THIS is the way. Run them the f*** over!
Bl9cking ones right to assemble/travel elsewhere is akin to kidnapping and a violation of a god-given right.
Prolifers cannot physically stop a mother heading in to slaughter her 7 month baby, why can these protesters stop you from going to work or shopping?
🤣🤣😃
Yes you can buy pepper ball ammo for it but you need a permit or have a friend that does.
LOL @ the guy hit with a car door then almost being run over.
Stupid:Two dudes in the rain trying to stop the car. Wonder if they wore out their sneaker soles.
Priceless! The girl using hair as a pull handle.
I don’t want people to get hurt. But when people are threatening me (or threatening someone I can relate to, like some random person driving home from work who gets caught in these situations by some group of Leftist scumbags) all bets are off.
I have been to a boatload of demonstrations and counter-protests by Conservatives over the past 10-15 years (several dozen at least) and have never, Ever, EVER seen Conservatives try to block a roadway.
Sad to say, it’s not going to be until there are serious consequences of some kind before those anarchists stop blocking the roads.
The preferable means is arrest and jail and expose who they are.
If LE refuses to protect the citizenry they are supposed to, you’re right, all bets are off. NOBODY needs to back down and become a martyr and either be killed or live with debilitating injuries.
Stick to what you know.
Whatever that is, it isn’t FL law.
I was hoping for more. They were far too kind to the parasite s.
As driverless cars become more widespread I suggest that pedestrians who plan to keep on living be less trusting that the driverless systems will always have effective anti-collison capabilities.
Like many Americans (the VAST majority) I am sick to death of this mayhem by Leftists, the murder and injury of innocent passerby, the burning of buildings and cars, and the blocking of roadways.
I am fully in support of police forces using automatic weapons to fire non-lethal projectiles into these crowds blocking roads, tear-gassing them, tasering them, and rounding up EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM for prosecution and imprisonment.
This is not a suppression of their "1st Amendment Rights". It is enforcing legally passed laws and statutes that prohibit this kind of activity.
Do I take joy in this stance? Absolutely not, even with my "bump bump-bump bump" tongue-in-cheek comment.
But what is not enforced or penalized is therefore allowed, and we should remember that or depend on the Left to set civically responsible limits on behavior, because they will push the envelope just as far as society allows them to, up to and including murder.
I could not agree more.
Very well said.
