[One More Time]

I like you assessment of protesters, the local media only pays attention to protests that involve criminal activity. We had a local protest a while ago that involved marching onto the Freeway at rush hour in order to maximize the negative impact on thousands of commuters. Even the wannabe conservative, local talk show host was quick to invite the lawbreakers into the studio and give them a platform after that stunt. The talk-show jerk couldn’t understand why I objected to rewarding the criminal blockage of rush hour traffic, I guess that is what happens when you talk during rush hour and so have no clue about the hassles of a traffic jam. The way to eliminate such activity is for the police to actually charge someone for the crime instead of simply stopping the freeway while ignoring the lawbreaking and for local talk show jerks and the rest of the media to ignore the protesters.

Maybe there needs to be a law that says that after sufficient warning is given to anyone who is deliberately blocking the freeway and refuses to move, they are to be legally considered "fair game" for motorists. One such legally-permitted injury would put and end to that stunt.
