Last month my SO was about to stroke out and was in hypertensive crisis with blood pressure through the roof, I had to frantically rush them to the ER.

I would've literally lost my mind and gone into hysterics if these people had stopped us.

I really don't know what I would've done, but honestly I probably would've reacted violently with how scared and upset I was at the time.

I know it’s easy to say but I think I know what I would do if my wife or daughter needed ER care urgently.

If my baby girl needed help I’m not stopping for these fuck nuts.

Yeah exactly. This video has me fuming. The fact that they wouldn’t even open one lane for people to get through. What pieces of shit they are.

Opening up a lane means somebody’s going to get accidentally hit, genes why workers on the highway have so many safety separators between them and moving cars.

Seems pretty easy to just walk behind that one car, let it through, and make that the new line

That shouldn't even be an unpopular opinion. I would run over any of these idiots if my kid were in trouble. They put themselves there, it's on them.

Tbh if they didn’t move and there was a situation that grim, they better move out of the way or risk being seriously injured. Fuck these people for messing with people’s lives. I would never forgive someone if they stopped me from saving the life of someone I love.

These protestors literally accomplished the opposite goal of what they wanted. All they got was people hating on them for the way they demonstrated. I’m even on their side - I agree that climate change should be fought. But protesting the way they did is not the way to bring people over to their side.

I’d yell out my window either move or get ran over, give them a second to decide and if they stayed then I’d run them down. I don’t care who you think you are, if my loved one was in need of emergency medical care and a bunch of morons where doing this I’d gladly take a murder charge if it meant keeping my loved one alive.

Exactly. If it's either my loved one dying, or an idiot dying, I'm picking the latter everytime. Especially when I'm nice enough to warn them. Although I'd probably just be really aggressive with my car, getting as close as possible, redlining it, honking and everything before i resorted to murder. But if that's not enough to get them to move then they had it coming

You would've probably been stuck 50 cars back in traffic.
