I'm all for protests, but please don't block major roadways or interstates.
emergency services use the same roads and your protest will kill someone. pile up on the sides of the road, throw paint balloons in the streets, throw your shit at cars passing by. I really don't care.
just keep the streets clear for emergency services.
Every single protest I went to split to let emergency vehicles through.
Protests are supposed to be disruptive.
every protest I've seen on highways or streets smashed ambulances and cop cars trying to get through.
does that mean every protest is like that? no. does that mean we can't all work together to ensure to protection of human life? no.
protests are supposed to be disruptive but don't damage your message out of spite for society. target buildings or locations that speak to the movement. have a problem with the cops? surround every police station. have a problem with the city? block access to cityhall.
protests are meant to actually mean something, a defined message to the establishment that's clear and easy for others to get behind.
everything else is just a riot.
which is based, actually
I'm all for protests but just don't inconvenience anyone or apply any political pressure and obey the law and go back home and be good boys
In Germany, if the protest was registered before, emergency services will avoid the roads and use alternative routes.
proceeds to be completely ignored and ineffective
As soon as law enforcement stops killing us for funsies I'll start caring about the vague hypothetical that a neoliberal gets hurt by accident.
Some asshole protesters were blocking the highway here in Seattle at one point and prevented me from getting to a vet appointment for my puppy with cancer.
Fuck people who block highways.
