NEW HAVEN, Conn. - State Police arrested a 66-year-old protester who is being accused of blocking an ambulance carrying a critically-ill patient during a demonstration.
With the increase of demonstrations happening throughout the country, Connecticut State Police are reminding people that protests blocking any highway or roadway is a crime, can be dangerous and will not be tolerated.
Protesters opposing President Donald Trump's immigration policies, blocked the Exit 47 ramp from Route 34 westbound to Interstate 95 north at about 4:25 p.m. Saturday. Troopers responded and attempted to clear between 100 and 200 protesters who were blocking the roadway, police said.

"Connecticut Police arrest hundreds of protesters who blocked ambulance during anti-President Donald Trump rally"
Attempting to accomplish political aims through force or threat of force is terrorism, and terrorists should be prosecuted for the crimes they commit (or shot and killed).
Half the problem has been the mild winter.
Absolutely. That should be a common tool to use against protesters. Authorities need to get with it, after all it's a non-lethal tool.
I know exactly where this happened. My wife had an operation there last summer. New Haven, unfortunately, is mostly a rathole. Along with Bridgeport and much of Hartford. Run by your typical big-city liberals and infrastructure falling to pieces with crime and overall urban decay on the rise. If not for those three areas, we’d have had a Republican governor elected a couple years back and Malloy would have been defeated.

The fact that only 1 of 200 protestors were arrested would under cut that statement.
Just an old hippie, nothing. Suppose that whoever was in the ambulance lost their fife because of the actions of the “old hippieâ€? Would the response still be a nonchalant, “He is just an old hippie€? Number one, the ambulance driver should have runover him. Number 2 he should be prosecuted on felony charges and if convicted , sentence to significant prison time. It is past time to treat these individuals as the criminals they are. Before some innocent person loses their life because of their actions.
He should have been run over. What if the individual inside the ambulance had lost their life because of his actions? The people who do this stuff are not innocent children. They are anarchists, hardened criminals. And should be treated accordingly. It could be one of your loved ones in the next ambulance and getting them to the hospital as quick as possible would be the difference between life and death for them.
I prefer the hot lead.
