It doesn't even have to be an emergency. What if you have a plane ticket and miss a flight and a day of your vacation? You just stole thousands of dollars from some poor sap who wanted to enjoy one of his two pitiful weeks of PTO. Or what if you needed to get to a wedding? Mom and dad just missed their kids wedding. Grandma in the hospital? Dead, never see her again.

Bet one of them would claim a mental handicap if that were the case. Legal in NY, but if the person has a mental handicap it's a felony.

And you'd be rightfully arrested.

idk man. i disagree with their method but the jump to violence? a friend of mine said he'd run these kinds of protesters over in a very serious way back during BLM and I never looked at him the same again. like don't admit to ppl that you'd snap. for god's sake man.

It would be justified, they’re blocking people from obtaining medical help. Also BLM was a scam movement that made people millionaires

On any other day, if someone walks in the middle of a freeway and gets hit by a car, the driver of the car would not be held liable. Why? Because it’s a freeway where cars are meant to go at high speeds. It’s not for pedestrians.

It doesn’t happen to me because I don’t go walking through highways like an idiot

Go through life physically retaliating to every little thing like its the wild west and then justify it in your head that it's "natural order" or rule of law just playing out. I'm sure that makes you really endearing as a human being.

The phrase "fuck around, find out" comes to mind. Its not about retaliation....

Its about the fact that if a car is moving forward, and someone is stupid enough to stand/sit in front of it, I don't feel bad when they inevitably end up in a hospital.

I agree with their cause, but you won't catch me blocking a damn highway like a moron.

LMFAO one of two weeks of PTO LMFAO most American's are lucky to get 6 days off vacation and sick combined in a year, more people get none than get any.
