I’m all for protests, but please don’t block major roadways or interstates.
emergency services use the same roads and your protest will kill someone. pile up on the sides of the road, throw paint balloons in the streets, throw your shit at cars passing by. I really don’t care.
just keep the streets clear for emergency services.
Some asshole protesters were blocking the highway here in Seattle at one point and prevented me from getting to a vet appointment for my puppy with cancer.
every protest I’ve seen on highways or streets smashed ambulances and cop cars trying to get through.
does that mean every protest is like that? no. does that mean we can’t all work together to ensure to protection of human life? no.
protests are supposed to be disruptive but don’t damage your message out of spite for society. target buildings or locations that speak to the movement. have a problem with the cops? surround every police station. have a problem with the city? block access to cityhall.
protests are meant to actually mean something, a defined message to the establishment that’s clear and easy for others to get behind.
Then even so, racial injustice, climate change, genocide, and other such problems that are being protested about cause more harm than that all the time.
Nobody said it’s pleasant, only that it’s necessary and the only way to affect change
easier to dismiss me as a troll than to realize how hypocritical you’re being. people protesting real worldwide issues like genocide to stop their government from actively engaging in it are self centered and only care about themselves but Mr. Liberal is righteously mad about being inconvenienced
sounds like you need to read less books to garner some empathy from real people.
I have empathy for the protests. I understand it’s difficult to force change when you can’t apply pressure.
but I can empathize with the victims too. I’ve held a person while they died in their vehicle. they died because emergency services couldn’t get there fast enough. because some shitbird took it upon themselves to throw broken glass and nails across the freeway.
has anyone here ever held someone while they begged for more time? I wouldn’t normally recommend it, but from the repugnant comments on here it’s clear that none of you have a single empathic cell in your body and it might actually do you some good.
go ahead, spew your hate and ignorance. it’s only going to make more of them be more like the sticker on the window.

Fuck people who block highways.
Every single protest I went to split to let emergency vehicles through.

everything else is just a riot.
which is based, actually
I’m all for protests but just don’t inconvenience anyone or apply any political pressure and obey the law and go back home and be good boys

As soon as law enforcement stops killing us for funsies I’ll start caring about the vague hypothetical that a neoliberal gets hurt by accident.

They didn’t say anything like that and you know it. At least don’t be disingenuous with your arguments.
ah yes I should make honest arguments like families of people burning to death and children getting killed from shootings because of protests.
I’m sure you are equally critical of that guy’s hyperbole
Whataboutism doesn’t change you putting words into that person’s mouth that they didn’t say.
tit for tat

In Germany, if the protest was registered before, emergency services will avoid the roads and use alternative routes.
that’s great, wish they did that in the US.
