Police reportedly arrested a parolee in Maryland on Monday when he became agitated while pleading with a group of climate change protesters who were blocking traffic.
On July 4, climate protesters wearing yellow vests completely blocked traffic on the I-495 beltway in Montgomery County, Maryland, to demand that President Joe Biden declare a “climate emergency.” In a video that has since gone viral, a man claiming to be a parolee exited a vehicle and pleaded with the protesters to let him pass, alleging that he would be sent back to prison if he was late for his job.
“One lane, I am asking one lane,” the man desperately pleaded as the activists refused to budge.
The man then began tearing signs from the protesters’ hands as they persisted in blocking traffic. Take a look: (video from Twitter)
Another video shared by documentarian Ford Fischer later showed police arresting the man after he became “agitated at the activists blocking traffic” and “got more physical,” according to Fischer. Police arrested the parolee first and reportedly “took their time” arresting the protesters.
Fox 4 DC reported that 13 climate protesters were all arrested for charges related to “resisting arrest, disturbing peace/hinder passage, and failure to obey a reasonable/lawful order.” The man, presumably identified as a “counter-protester,” was also reportedly “charged with second-degree assault and resisting arrest.” One of the alleged protesters, Guido Reichstadter, came to the man’s defense on Twitter, saying he never felt threatened and that he would gladly “issue a statement or testify in his favor.”
“The shirtless man nudging me with his body was not violent with me and I did not feel threatened. I believe his arrest was unnecessary and I’ll be happy to issue a statement or testify in his favor. said Reichstadter in a now-deleted tweet.

We have to get the true story out:
There is such a thing as climate change (including 1400-1800 before we did anything worse than woodfires).
But
Not man made climate change.
Curtailing our economy and restricting our freedoms for the nonsense only aids Communist China and other enemies. That was secret the plan all along.
Notes:
The worst heat wave in US History....During the summer of 1896, a 10-day heat wave killed nearly 1,500 people. (NPR, 2010 story).
In the early morning of June 4, 1896, Henry Ford made his first trial run in a small, four-wheeled vehicle he called a “Quadricycle.”
People blocking traffic should be immediately arrested and dragged off, for sure.
““The shirtless man nudging me with his body was not violent with me and I did not feel threatened. I believe his arrest was unnecessary and I’ll be happy to issue a statement or testify in his favor. said Reichstadter in a now-deleted tweet.”
Then get outta the way you dickhead and let the man go to work.
In Florida, you block the road, you become speed bump.
Avoid going to Maryland or DC.
I’d walk up to the protesters and say for every single one of you teats, I’m going to burn some tires. The number will keep increasing as the minutes Um delayed.
Twats! Ugh. That’s what I get for posting while my cat is head bopping me,
Teats works, too.
In a town near me, truckers were running over BLM protestors illegally blocking the road. Cops arrested the screaming leftists and charged them with criminal damage to the trucks.
