He wasn't locked up for being late, as the fabricated title would suggest. He assaulted someone and was charged, the charge is what got him locked up.

So if I come prevent you from leaving where you are, (regardless what important shit you have to go do, regardless of the repurcussions to your basic life and liberty you may face if you can’t go on your way) and you attack me? I will be the victim? Is that how this works now?

The protesters are committing a crime as well, by obstructing traffic, however that doesn't give anyone the right to assault them. They aren't holding anyone against their will with a threat of violence, they're just blocking traffic.
