” Would they have prevented concerned citizens from removing said protesters? I generally support the blue, but this could be a defining situation. “


It’s a Regime Approved protest. The police will arrest anyone who goes after the protestors.

Look, police are a hierarchy. They arrest and enforce what they are ordered to. If the top of the hierarchy’s is Leftist and Progressive, like almost all law enforcement in the country, the police just enforce on their orders.

Yes. We all know that. It's part of why I generally DON'T "support the blue".

“The men in blue” know their “moral compass,” just ask any of them.

The Kapos in The Third Reich’s death camps knew THEIR moral compass, too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, “Godwin’s Law.”

F that noise.

If the protesters have a right to protest and disrupt traffic, then the motorists have the right to protest traffic disruption.

Ahh, I see. “Just following orders.”

Top notch advice.

Well intended folks even give out advice that they never follow themselves.

A friend works in a cash business, his dad tells him not to declare anything! Meanwhile the same guy wouldn’t dare do it himself.

Good job.

yes and sentences should be cumulative nationwide. Block a bridge in SF 90 days, block traffic in DC 1 year stop a city council meeting, strike 3 prison time. This law would have decimated antifa who sent people around the country since the FBI isn’t treating them like a terrorist group.

Agree.
We all know the law protects the Left and the Woke Progressives and violent felons. Not people who push ahead when normal movement of pedestrians and vehicles is obstructed.

The has been a longstanding City of Detroit con job of getting bumped by a vehicle, spinning around and flailing on the ground, calling for help. Then suing.

The one that REALLY set me off for about 4 years was Steve Utash, who was set up by the boy and his relatives but was clumsy and got hurt in the scam. Utash was in a coma and had to re-learn how to understand speech and talk as well to walk. Actual video shows boy making jerky attempts to jump out and then actually doing it to throw himself against Utash’s truck on purpose. Shown on video.
I’ll have to settle down again.

the senator is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
remove them, by force if necessary, get the garbage the hell off the road so that decent citizens can get to work, doctor, school, hospital, shops, or whereever.

You are pretending that is something unique from mid-century Germany.

That’s the characteristic of every police force back to year minus one.

Have 2-3 bulldozer slowly advance abreast down the road with extra wide blades and push run over these idiots and if the protest is at an intersection have the bulldozers come in all directions, creating a kill box.

Then call in 1-2 Apache gunships for cleanup and to really get the message across have those responsible for these antics clean up the mess; if they don’t cooperate, scoop up the bodies and dump them in the front yards of those responsible for this nonsense.

Savage? Perhaps

I fully agree.

A “should.”

Tony Robbins: “If you run your life by relying on ‘shoulds’ sooner or later you’ll be ‘shoulding’ all over yourself all day.”

Tom Cotton would not have to face consequences in a Blue State for doing that my initial reaction.

Arkansas means at the very least Tom Cotton is a Walmart Senator but his National Defense advocacy makes him a Boeing Senator, a Northrop Grumman Senator, a General Dynamics Senator and so on.

Tom Cotton a great Corporate Senator not living out here with the little folks does he want us to start fighting each other?

No they don't. This is what happens to non Regime-approved protestors.

You don't live in a free country. And you don't live under an equal rule of law. Stop pretending that you do.

Or Bruce W. Klunder (July 12, 1937 – April 7, 1964) protestor run over by a bulldozer in the US. I remember it well.

You’re 100% correct.

He’s the evil POS who started this.

He’s relishing the meltdown of civilization.

Get out of the car?! Gun the motor, and slowly advance. If they don’t get out of the way, it’s their funeral.

Same goes for anti-oil protesters.
