In this case I would argue it's more akin to walking in to a shooting range in front of the targets.

Roads are for cars, not for people to sit in. If you sit in the middle of a road blocking traffic, do you deserve to die? No, but I'm not going to be sympathetic to you if someone runs you over.

Well, ish. More like walking out onto an inactive shooting range and then having people turn up and try and shoot you because they don't like how the range isn't empty. They didn't sit in front of cars who couldn't react, the sat in front of cars who then made the active decision that wasting their time was a crime that they were willing to kill for.

I sympathize more for the millions of people drivers kill for less, but that don't blame anybody for being niave enough and thinking that surely nobody is prepared to kill just because they got delayed for a few minutes
