the highway is 2 lanes, so unless the guy in front want to drive threw you are fucked... this was rush hour when people are trying to get home to pic up kids from school, get to appointments and so on.. the police "took a hands off approach" and didnt do shit http://www.wkyc.com/story/news/local/cleveland/2014/11/25/police-take-hands-off-approach-to-downtown-protesters/70111518/?hootPostID=6bda35ce553494ad57231f337744d6ee question... you get stuck in this, what realistically can you do? only thing i can think of is force the police into action by a 911 call saying you are trapped on the highway and in fear from the protesters and have your gun and will do what is needed if they wont.. "from a burner phone" preferably ;) and unless you have a box of this in your car, or a backpack of OC, i dont think walking up is a great idea either..     |

Cuyahoga County Sheriff Frank Bova said "We're allowing them their constitutional right to protest." Are you fucking kidding me? Do people in traffic have no fucking rights? They are essentially being detained by these fucks. |

I was looking at the pic of the people blocking that highway that OP posted, and it almost looks like that majority of those in the photo are white.
Are these people bored? Are they missing some sort of drama, conflict or excitement? Do they feel the need to belong to something? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Is the highway blocking a recent thing? I've never heard of stories of that prior to the whole Mike Brown thing. Even here I've never heard of a highway blocked by people. I guess the thing is, its just more knowledge for these people that they can truly disrupt cities if they do it right.

They are doing this here too.
I'm not really seeing the point other than they will get run over and also just piss thousands of stranded people off. The whole hands off thing the police is doing is ridiculous. Yet, gun owners are arrested left and right if they want to LEGALLY protest. I wonder if Zero would order the same hands off approach if 2A marchers blocked every highway? |

They've been shutting down parts of 580 and 680 in Oakland for the last two nights.
Why would a drifter or homeless get arrested for walking down a freeway, but making a roadblock across the freeway shutting it down is ok? |

i would not consider blocking a highway a peaceful form of protest. it could cause accidents, prevents emergency vehicles from getting to a fire or a medical emergency and could easily escalate into violence especially at rush hour when people are tired, hungry and need to be somewhere.
Police should have deployed tear gas and arrested stragglers. @tacticalheater People are lucky that after surrounding and banging on the car with their fists and breaking windows the driver just chose to drive off rather than shoot one of them. |

When you block traffic like that, you are putting people's lives in danger. If someone is sick and needs an ambulance, they are screwed. I would consider it an act of terrorism. Fuck em.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile You dont have to tell them where to protest, or make it a crime if they dont protest in that exact spot but there are plenty of parks, side walks, public buildings and other locations where people can protest without blocking traffic or endangering people. What if instead of shutting down the transportation system of a city they decided to shut down the power grid, or turn off the water as their form of protest? It is perfectly legal to protest as long as you are not endangering people or interfering/impeding with their way of life. i have no problem with a bunch of people holding up signs on the side of a road, if its a good cause i might even honk to show support, but when you block a major intersection or major highway that is a problem and in my opinion should be considered a crime. |

I agree. If they want to protest, give them a place to do it peacefully. This is an example of when their right to protest curtails others the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Stuff that's already out there is GTG, its just new that can't be procured. |
