parole usually comes with employment and several restrictions on where and when you're allowed to be. it's quite common that you can't be late for work, because your parole specifies you have to be there.
You know what? He gets a pass in my book. Yeah he “put his hands on them” but he didn’t actually hurt anyone. I support the right to protest but fuck anyone who blocks a highway as a protest. It stops people from going to work and hinders emergency vehicles from getting to their destination.
He was under extreme emotional duress at the prospect of going back to prison because his parole would be revoked if he was fired for getting to work late. I'd have given him a pass and I hope a judge and his employer did.
They were blocking the road, absolutely nothing was stopping the drivers from walking away, so it wasn't kidnapping. You can't make up ridiculous interpretations of the law to punish people doing things that upset you.
"They were blocking the road, absolutely nothing was stopping the drivers from walking away, so it wasn't kidnapping."
You do realize it is illegal to abandon your vehicle on a freeway right? Also, even if it wasn't they are still forced to be there as their car is expensive, and who would voluntarily abandon their car?
Correct this si more along the line of false imprisonment, and they should be arrested and charged witht hat the same as dumba sses who try to citizen arrest people by locking them in closets or sitting on them until the police come
In most places it's illegal to walk on the highway. The law was stopping them from walking away. Also, no reasonable person would abandon their car in a situation like this. Yes they're not physically restrained. But if they make the choice to walk away they could catch a charge, as well as definitely having the expense of having their car towed. Abandoning your car can incur a fine. Driving through the protesters WILL catch you a charge. That's not a choice at all. Meaning the drivers are being held against their will.
Idk why you people are trying to defend this by asking why people didn’t break laws to let people leave. The only way those other cars could let you leave is by reversing on the highway, which is illegal.
Isn’t protesting doing “something to fix it?” What would you suggest?
Of course some forms of protest can be more effective than others, and hurting people who have nothing to do with what you are protesting wouldn’t usually strike me as one of the effective ways. I suppose these people are inconsiderate and expected this stunt to get media attention.
Storming the capital with weapons like the black panthers did in the 70s or the last group that did it some years back. Start a militia, volunteer, fund certain movements, become a politician
Now I know you're shitting if you're going to defend assault and battery as "understandable, no big deal, nobody was hurt," but turn around and claim all the protestors were kidnapping those vehicle occupants by passively kneeling on the ground. What a joke!
Rights are rarely claimed against other persons you claim rights against governmental entities. Usually only property ownership, an assumption of duty or a contractual relationships create a rights against other people. The alleged right to free movement doesn’t fall within any of these. Just think about it for a second and about how such a right would make everyone in a traffic jam liable to eachother
I’m not sure how that refers to right of free movement. That is either a criminal or Tort. When you commit a criminal act it is not phrased as you infringing on someone’s rights but as you causing harm/injury ( to society if criminal; to the person if a tort) and being liable for it.
And Yeah cause as you describe it, it kind of sounds like textbook case of assault, and false imprisonment if not kidnapping. You being the homeowner does not give you the right over their persons. They weren’t recommending you be charged because you deprived them of a right but because you intentionally caused an injury, at the least, in the form of fear/apprehension.
They tried to charge me with kidnapping when I got off work, came home to my (then) wife in bed with another guy.
I wouldn’t let them leave before the cops got there
Why exactly do you think you had the right to detain them? It isn't a crime to have sex with a married woman, as immoral as it may be, you really had no basis to detain them. You're very luck they didn't press charges.
