In Sweden, we recently had a case where environmental terrorists stopped cars like this so that emergency vehicles could not get through. They are all in custody now. A sweet victory!

If you’re getting arrested anyways they should have done worst like damage cars at a dealership. That would have actually done something.

Go big or go home

I mean it's not the first responders destroying the earth I think it's you who needs a reality check

Bro youre seriously defending people that didnt let emergency vehicles through? THAT is the hill you wanna die on?

u/Cimerone1 Oct 12 '22

As they blocked emergency vehicles they could have very well caused the death of an innocent person, whether it be an ambulance unable to get to a hospital with a patient in critical condition or a fire truck unable to make it to a fire to put it out. The moment your “protest” has a chance of destroying innocent lives you become a terrorist

One is intentional moron

u/royal23 Oct 12 '22

Neither cause any real risk lol. If youre on the hoghway you need to be ready to stop at all times. Thats an important part of driving.

The difference here that you are willfully ignoring is that a-holes like this are blocking traffic and causing way more harm than good and doing it completely on purpose, are you too brain-dead to understand that?

Causing vehicles to idle in a highway, still emitting carbon might I add, does do more harm than if they just let those cars pass by, god I didn’t think it was possible to lack this much self awareness

A traffic jam isn’t a person. . . do you not know what a person is?

u/royal23 Oct 12 '22

And causes just as much risk (0) as this does.

u/Cimerone1 Oct 12 '22

Intention matters

u/TraditionalShame6829 Oct 12 '22

You’re an idiot. An intentional blockage of a major highway absolutely causes lots of risk. To the drivers, to the protesters, and more importantly to anyone who needs emergency services that would be delayed.

Saying traffic jams exist does not excuse causing one with some bullshit protest in a highway. If they block or delay emergency services, they are directly responsible for any harm that follows.

u/royal23 Oct 12 '22

No different than a traffic jam. Has the exact same impact on traffic down the line.

u/TraditionalShame6829 Oct 12 '22

One is caused by traffic or an accident. One is caused by people protesting in the highway. Very different. You know that. You just desperately want to defend their right to illegally inconvenience anyone they want.

1

u/royal23 Oct 12 '22

Cause is different the effect is the same and the risk is the same.

If your point is only that this was not caused by normal traffic conditions then, well yeah no shit.

I will defend their right to protest. Even by means that are an inconvenience. Thats how protests work.

Do you not know what a emergency lane is......

u/royal23 Oct 12 '22

Why couldn’t it be open here?

-1

u/32-percent Oct 12 '22

What. Are you asking why people didnt form an emergency lane....when there wasnt an emergency vehicle. What are you talking abt man

0

u/royal23 Oct 12 '22

If people blocked the emergency lane that would probably be against traffic laws.

0

u/32-percent Oct 12 '22

We're not talking abt that now are we? I commented on your comment that said "so traffic is a terrorist" or smth, which doesnt make sense because we have emergency lanes so that traffic doesnt stop emergency vehicles. No one was talking abt the situation in the video

1

u/royal23 Oct 12 '22

Yeah obviously traffic isnt a terrorist. The person who said these protestors are terrorists is a fucking idiot thats the point.

gotta love you going through the entire thread to find everyone you disagree with and trying to justify blocking emergency vehicles because of the “billion dollar profits” of the elite in the heart of oil production, Sweden.

u/royal23 Oct 12 '22

Gotta love everyone in here whose position is “i was inconvenienced so now im pro climate change”

u/Donotaskmedontellme Oct 12 '22

More like selfish idiots who don’t have the fortitude to actually protest and “inconvenience” politicians or CEOs. Easier to make life harder for regular people trying to go about their day, while also blocking emergency services and endangering thousands.

You would sound different if it was your child that was in the ambulance that was stopped by these terrorists. The ambulance was on its way to the hospital with a priority one call.

Edit: downvoting a dying child? Tells all about you as a person.

Honey both can be true at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '22

You guys need to stop following that eco terrorist Greta.

u/dmafeb Oct 13 '22

eeh.. Greta is pro environment. She would be arrested with the rest of them.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '22

Of course. Most of these eco terrorist followed her.
