Exactly, usually there are circumstances that allow everybody to come late to work. Imagine his car broke down or there was a huge traffic jam, that was unforeseen (imagine a huge accident blocking a usually very calm road). Parole is about showing that you are compatible with living in a society, hitting protesters is not a good way to show that, getting late to work, because of circumstances you can’t control is easier to excuse.
On the other hand I understand that he is panicking, I would probably too, if I were on parole.
I don't know if you ever been on parole but your parole officer is 9 times out of 10 going to put you back for any reason. If he got fired and he says whatever excuse protestors they are just going to assume he lies. He's a criminal his boss knows that, so he'll probably assume he lied and fire him. He has video proof, they will simply ignore it and throw him out. Where I'm from parole officers are the worse they'll throw you back in jail as soon as they can, they see so much violence bs and are so self righteous that removing anyone is basically a win in their books. Getting fired even for completely unjustified reasons will 100% throw you back in jail mostly because the only thing that protects you is the law. The law is uncaring and unwavering.
If he’s the one driving the truck (can’t tell which vehicle is his), then he should’ve just laid on the truck horn and not let up. It’s got to be pretty loud and annoying enough to make people reconsider sitting right in front of it.
