My experience with protests has been we took to the streets. Sidewalks just aren't wide enough for thousands of people.It’s generally against the law to walk down the middle of the street. Unless there is no sidewalk, then you can walk on the side of the road.
Some people really need to talk themselves into seeing demonstration as inherently criminal. Not when it's Amon Bundy, redhats hunting for VPs to hang, or spittle-lipped screechers terrorizing women's health patients, mind. Just everyone else.My experience with protests has been we took to the streets. Sidewalks just aren't wide enough for thousands of people.
They must have not covered TACO on Faux NotNews.Is "Taco" supposed to be some kind of a dig at the president? lol.
The disruptive "protests" have had zero impact on his policy. That change is tied to agriculture and other business interests giving feedback to the administration.
Echoes of the 'Unite the Right' murder?Mass protests against Trump under way across US but violence and threats thwart some rallies – live
Four San Francisco protesters hit by car in ‘possible intentional act’; ‘credible threat’ identified against Texas lawmakers attending ‘No Kings’ protestwww.theguardian.com
Seems like the peaceful opposition to Trump's Stalin moment is riling up the street level fascists.
That's how protests work, not by writing polite letters to whoever. The whole point of protests is to make a point, and if Kevin is slightly inconvenienced and a bit late for dinner, so what?Or they can stay off the road and actually protest, rather than obstructing traffic and harassing motorists.
200,000? lol. Exaggerate much?You just had to throw in the last part. Were you expecting 200,000 thousand folks to stay on the sidewalks in LA?
No one is suggesting it here. It's coming up because of this more recent tactic of swarming roadways and assaulting people in cars.When you look at past big protests, most were in the streets of America but we never talked about running the protesters over until trump. You folks are the ones with no respect for human life. You have a brevard county sheriff telling folks life you as much as throw a stone we'll kill you. Is that the America you want to live in?
Huh? How is this a response to pointing out that no one has advocated what you are suggesting?However you need to cope, man. [deflection removed]
lol. I wouldn't know. Have they?They must have not covered TACO on Faux NotNews.
Your lack of societal awareness is stunning, but not surprising.lol. I wouldn't know. Have they?
These protests were planned across the country.It’s generally against the law to walk down the middle of the street. Unless there is no sidewalk, then you can walk on the side of the road.
Not interested in name calling. Happy to have an adult conversation when you are ready.Your [deflection removed]
The point of a protest is to show how many people are against a misjustice.The point of a protest is to win people over - not to piss them off. To make a statement.
Obstructing traffic doesn't win anyone over. It's stupid and counterproductive. And it's breaking the law. Protest in an appropriate location.
Lying about what was the sheriff said is not doing anything but embarrassing yourself.You just had to throw in the last part. Were you expecting 200,000 thousand folks to stay on the sidewalks in LA? When you look at past big protests, most were in the streets of America but we never talked about running the protesters over until trump. You folks are the ones with no respect for human life. You have a brevard county sheriff telling folks life you as much as throw a stone we'll kill you. Is that the America you want to live in?
Only when you become, at minimum, marginally educated.Not interested in name calling. Happy to have an adult conversation when you are ready.
Whether something is a 'misjustice' is in the eyes of the beholder. Some may not view enforcing of the law - fair application of justice - as a misjustice.The point of a protest is to show how many people are against a misjustice.
People blocking up the streets and aren't they blocking up the streets because Trump has deported 150,000 people. Didn't Obama deport like 3 million without due process nobody was writing then why this protest is fake.Who are the scumbags, if I may be able to ask without being wrestled off of dp?
In a city of millions, it's no exaggeration. Assaulting people in cars? I'm sure you have recent photos, right?200,000? lol. Exaggerate much?
No, protests should be in parks and other public areas. Perhaps a street if the city has closed it for that purpose.
No one is suggesting it here. It's coming up because of this more recent tactic of swarming roadways and assaulting people in cars.
So the protesters are the scum if I'm getting you correctly?People blocking up the streets and aren't they blocking up the streets because Trump has deported 150,000 people. Didn't Obama deport like 3 million without due process nobody was writing then why this protest is fake.
Only way down for me well maybe not scum just bring that idiots.So the protesters are the scum if I'm getting you correctly?
Then how can it say nobody was injured?Um, he hit somebody.
Pigs… they keep making themselves the enemy of the people. They need an attitude adjustment.Yep.

This is a real problem. Over a hundred protesters were hit by cars from Indiana to Tallahassee to Minneapolis at Black Lives Matter protests during the summer of 2020. In January 2021, an Iowa man avoided prison after intentionally driving through a group of peaceful racial justice protesters, injuring one. He told police at the time that protesters needed “an attitude adjustment.” Protesters being hit by vehicles has become such a wide-spread issue, a Wikipedia page sprang up to track the incidents.
The rhetorical and symbolic value of driver liability bills can be seen in the response on social media when they are introduced. Users, including members of law enforcement, circulate jokes, memes, and slogans about hitting protesters with vehicles. A Sheriff’s Deputy in Florida posted a meme depicting a semitruck smeared with blood with the caption “DROVE THROUGH ARIZONA/DIDN’T SEE ANY PROTESTERS.” Longtime Seattle detective Mike Brown was formally fired in February 2021 after it came to light that he had made multiple social media posts mocking and endorsing violence against racial justice protesters. Among the posts was a meme depicting a vehicle striking a person with the words “ALL LIVES SPLATTER” that Brown posted on the same day that two protesters were hit, one fatally, on Interstate 5 in Seattle."
U.S. Current Trend: Bills Provide Immunity to Drivers Who Hit Protesters
