The video you presented is mostly Europe and there are the climate fascist criminals. They are funded by a particular billionaire in the country that seeks to get a lot of government money for his scammy green nonsense.

So he tends to hire elderly people most of the people being hit and kicked and pushed by cars are youngsters. Probably hired from a college.

I mentioned this because in Europe the government supports this they probably fund it so if you do anything against these people they will probably charge you even though they should be arrested for impeding traffic.

The US is a different story. The billionaires that pay agitators here pay them to hurt people and destroy things.

The stupid little kids sitting on people's cars trying not to let them get by that's aggravating, and I don't think those people are paid I think the billionaire is funding this want them to get hurt.

Remember these protests are not grassroots they are a psyop
 
Lololol, the protests areeeeen't reeaaaaal. They were made by a shadowy kabal! The globaliiiists!

Well we will have to wait and see how it plays out. He is charged with wreckless driving, a class 1 misdemeanor. Same as illegal border crossing or shoplifting.

Yeah, you did:

Everybody knows they’re talking about protesters, not rioters. You don’t want to admit that your terrorist leaders are purposefully conflating the two.

Ironic. You keep asserting your own ignorance as fact.

No I didn’t. And you can’t quote me saying that. And you know it. But I doubt that will stop you from lying about it.

No that is just your imagination. They are talking about rioters.

Sorry but your posts prove my point. When you keep dishonestly removing the context of his statement it’s clear what you are doing.

You made the claim, back it up. Where are the pictures?

roflol. You made a claim about the size of the protest, I pointed out that it's absurd, and you get defensive. I'm not interested in your deflections.

Yes, that's a much bigger exaggeration.

Many of the cities that developed after the invention of the automobile have very poor public spaces in terms of large-crowd capacity. There just aren't as many free, public spaces to protest as you think. And symbolically it makes a lot of sense to protest near federal/municipal buildings. But, tell you what, next time there is a huge, nationwide protest we'll be sure to reach out to you for your advice on how we should protest.

Not sure that this is really true. Most cities do have large public spaces, and often areas around city halls that are blocked off and used for such activities.

Many protests have focused not so much on getting attention for a cause, but on being disruptive. And I'm not talking about large, coordinated, peaceful protests like the 'no kings day' ones have largely been. Most of the issues have centered around less organized 'after hours' events that end up with the goal of being as disruptive and chaotic as possible. In my state that includes things like shutting down the interstate in Austin at night or the Galleria area in Houston during rush hour. And yes, that includes blocking in cars and harassing the drivers if they attempt to move.

Violent acts and threats at some 'No Kings' protests around the US​

A man intentionally drove an SUV into a crowd of protesters in Culpepper, Virginia on Saturday, striking at least one person, according to Washington DC’s Fox affiliate.

The man, identified by authorities as Joseph R. Checklick Jr, was arrested and charged with reckless driving. Checklick was held without bail at the county jail, the news outlet said.

Authorities alleged that Checklick knowingly accelerated into a group of “No Kings” day protest attendees. Organizers reportedly said that more than 600 attended the event, with 200 on Main Street and 400 along James Madison Highway.

As hundreds of thousands took to the streets to protest Trump’s military parade, and his policies, violence has cast a shadow over demonstrations.

In San Francisco, a car hit at least four “No Kings” protesters in what authorities are probing as a “possible intentional act.”

Were they in the road blocking or the sidewalk? Watching the incredible restraint shown by many I am surprised there hasn't been more Rachel Corrie type incidents.
How long is a reasonable time to be delayed?

Why are you all so eager to talk yourselves into advocating assault?

I mean, I get feeling that an adversary should lose. I wouldn't complain if there was a God and She made every fascist and ethnonationalist shit themselves in unison, on film, and then broadcast it in a loop everyone could access and no one could erase forever.

But I wouldn't defend someone who went around poisoning Republicans to make it happen.

There is a difference between what happened in New Orleans when the driver intentionally left the roadway to kill as many as possible and someone who is going between point A and B and being intentionally blocked. Driving anywhere in that schittshow that isn't absolutely critical is poor judgement in my view. That isn't the protestors decision to make. Treat everyone as if they were a potential carjacker. Maybe if more were run over.......

So we should send in heavily-armored officers to arrest him. That's righty logic, anyway.

If it's your intention to handwave harming people exercising their free speech, you are succeeding.

Well, remember, there are multiple exceptions to the crime of vehicular manslaughter against pedestrians who are blocking traffic but otherwise not threatening the driver.

I get what you are doing, but, would add: that's an important caveat.
