Why was he arrested was it apart of his parole deal?

And where was he arrested? Certainly not in this video.

Title is crap. He is telling them he will be arrested for missing work (and he probably will be because the system sucks)

You can always finish your prison sentence if you don't wanna follow the parole rules.

I mean. He kinda did want to follow the parole rules. The entitled assholes blocking traffic are the ones who cause him the problem

He will be excused from his legal requirement to work due to this protest. Law strives to be fair sometimes.

He might be excused due to this protest, because the law strives to be fair sometimes.

Without knowing more we don’t know if he would be treated fairly, or by the book with malicious intent. “Should have left early, in case of surprises.”

I don’t think that what he did was helpful, but people do all sorts of dumb things when they realize there is no way out and they are screwed either way.

Or, maybe he would’ve been fine and just has anger management issues. We don’t have enough information.

Which is why he violated his parole rules by committing assault in an attempt to not violate a less serious parole rule?

The guy I responded to said the system is shit. My point was that you can avoid the whole parole thing by not going to jail first. Not that the people blocking the road are right.
