What if different people keep blocking the intersection, and the intersection stays blocked for literally hours. Maybe days. How long does an intersection have to be blocked before driving through at 3 miles per hour go from impermissible to permissible? What do you do, starve to death? Abandon your car and walk? Shit yourself? Even if the guy doesn't win a legal victory he definitely wins a moral one. What a fucking hero. I would assume you call the cops and let them know that there are protestors in the streets so they can clear them out. Which, you know, was happening. The cops didn't show up until he started driving, boyo "About 12:30 p.m., police were in the process of trying to clear the intersection. Cohen said thats when a car began to drive through the group of protesters at a low speed." This is from the article that you, yourself, posted. This would imply that the police were already in the middle of things when this guy lost his patience and took matters into his own hands. "Video of the incident shows a small group of protesters in front of a blue sedan stopped at the intersection. When the car begins to move slowly forward, some protesters placed their hands on the car and tried to stop it. At that point, the car began to move faster and at least one protester jumped on the cars hood." Again, from your own article. Now, I watched the video. It is rather difficult to see since it doesn't pan over to the car until it's already started moving, but the article would indicate that the protestors did not get aggressive on the car until the car started moving. IE if he had just stayed put and let the police do their thing, then he wouldn't have been attacked. Also, from the camera's POV they are only trying to put their hands on the car to stop it. Dumb as it is for them to think they can, they're clearly trying to convey "Don't drive through us" --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss <cite>Emeraldegg posted [p:889251598] in man slowly...
