Commuters Confront Ferguson Protesters Blocking Roads (citizen takes bullhorn-video goes viral)

Americans nationwide are protesting the grand jury decision to not indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown. During the morning rush hour on Wednesday, some University of California — San Diego students blocked a major freeway in La Jolla, Calif., a move that angered many commuters who were trying to get to work. One man went as far as physically pushing a protester out of the way and taking the bullhorn he was using.

Tyree Landrum, one of those commuters who was on his way to work at a local Ross store, expressed his anger to ABC10: ”I got to go to Ross right now, homie. If I don’t get there, I’m going to get fired. I’ve got six f*cking kids to feed, homie … m*therf*ckers get shot every f*cking day. Deal with it the right way, not like this.”

Landrum got out of his car and pushed a protester, who was shouting through a bullhorn, “no justice, no peace,” to the side of the road, and took the bullhorn from him.

“Hey, I feel you; we ain’t got no justice either,” Landrum said. “I’m about to lose my job, and you guys are out here protesting?”

Another commuter said the protesters “don’t really know anything about the real issue,” and are “complaining about something that could be dealt differently.” One woman, a nurse, shouted, “arrest them!”

The drivers rejoiced when the police showed up, and one man yelled, ”you’re spending the night in jail! That’s right, you’re spending the night in jail tonight!”

Every time I think the workers-for-a-living are finally fed the hell up with the takers-for-a-living my hopes get dashed.

Every time I think it is about damn time for us to rise up and beat the living hell out of the slugs and vermin of society my hopes are dashed.

I’m sick of being civil and playing buy the rules against people who aren’t civil and don’t have any rules, morals or integrity or respect for me and what I do. I really don’t give a flying .... if they have no respect for themselves.

You're a good man, Tyree Landrum.

Sooner or later the citizens are going to do what the police seem not to. Groups should organize and beat the crap out of these fools.

There is something seriously wrong with the police if they permit this sort of disruption. When the police and the courts fail though, ordinary people will do what needs to be done. Ordinary people won't do it as well as good police will, but they'll get the job done.

Their right of freedom of speech does not give them the right to close highways. Cars and trucks should not stop because people have no business being on the road.

None of these ill-informed, Michael Brown sympathizing, leftist, anarchists, students, bums, moochers, looters and arsonists have any concern for people who actually have to work for a living.

They can take the day off to block traffic, or stay up all night looting and stealing but most Americans have to sleep, work and raise their families.

How many people were late for work or inconvenienced so these arrogant paste eating window lickers could vent their anger?

How many jobs were lost at the businesses they destroyed?

How many struggling small business people, many of whom are minorities, lost their businesses, investments and the way they earn a living and feed their families?

You watch the video and the TV anchorette says the protestors did NOT spend a night in jail.

What is wrong with the freakin cops?

Tyree Landrum is correct.

His fellow commuters are correct.

The students are flat out WRONG.

Besides, students have no business engaging in this sort of anarchy, blocking traffic, etc. ...

They should be applying themselves to their studies, doing their homework, research papers, and lab reports.

Back when I was going for my degree, I didn’t have time to do the sort of CR@p these students pulled.

Rachel Corrie, terrorist supporter - before


Rachel Corrie, terrorist hero - after

Flattening a few parasitic losers would not bother me, whether in Israel or on our own streets. Having to hear about the dead deadbeats as "heroes" for a decade or more would get on my nerves.

As a former liberal I’ve been telling conservatives this for years. When they scream in your face, punch them. It gets your point across.

Take the day off? These people are off all day! They don’t work for a living.

You are correct. I live in San Diego. The Calif. Hwy. Patrol gently escorted those a**holes off of the freeway so that they could continue their protest elsewhere. I don’t think the San Diego P.D. even showed up. I am going to vent against my city councilmember, for what that is worth.

This may be a hint of how CWII will go hot. Not by some government decision, but when one of the “protestor” (read party operative) stops some ordinary person from going to work, destroys property, etc, and that ordinary person and those around him deliver a beat down.

There can be no further civil debate with the left, since their only response is a pre-programmed rant chant, breaking windows, and violence.

You were getting a degree in something requiring real work, a hard science or engineering I’m guessing from the “lab reports” in your post. These guys wouldn’t know a lab report if it bit them on the butt.

You have plenty of free time if you’re majoring in gender studies, social “science” or the like.
