If you were driving to work and there were protestors blocking the road, would you run them over?

[exitseven]

I would honk a few times and drive slowly towards them if they still refuse to move it would be like this,.

[msc545]

Hell no. You would only run over left-wing protesters. Admit it.

[BoopBoopBeep]

To be fair, I never see right wing protesters blocking the roads in D. C.

[Red_Arrow]

@BoopBoopBeep True. Right wing protesters break into the Capitol, attack the police, disrupt legal proceedings while attacking our representatives, and cause the deaths of several people. In other words, they go to war with our country.

One time UPS went on strike. All the packages I sent to my customers were at the terminal and I had to go and get them. There were a lot of guys with picket signs and as I was leaving they started yelling SCAB at me and blocking my way. I blew the horn and they kept yelling. I got down low and put my Chevy hatchback into low gear and drove at them. They all jumped out-of the way. I laugh about it now but it was really scary.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@Red_Arrow Right, but I don't see how thatchanges anything I said. They weren't blocking the roads so i can't run over them.

When STL was burning a lot of people locally thought that was a call to war. It cuts both ways. Both sides are shite and it's disingenuous to say it's only the one you don't like.

[exitseven]

@BoopBoopBeep true, most conservatives are too busy with a job to be able to take a day off to protest. Somebody has to pay to support all these morons and ten million illegal aliens.

[goaded]

@BoopBoopBeep When they block the roads, they do it with large vehicles, at no risk to themselves. Remember the "freedom convoy"?

[BoopBoopBeep]

@goaded No actually... not sure I heard that term before... but I'll google it. Sorry mate. Hope they have freedom fries and freedom... burgers? Is that a thing? I want to make freedom burgers.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@goaded
Yeah I'd support opening fire on them as well once they start blocking medical for that town Coulette or whatever the spelling was. F that noise.

I've been on the suck side of barricades in central america a couple times. generally they were small enough that driving around wasn't a hassle really. when they covered them in tires and lit them afire that was crossing a line for me because people with respiratory issues... etc. I remember at one border they'd placed stuff in dumpsters and attached them to dump trucks with heavy chains so they could slide them left and right to let emergency vehicles through. Thought that was clever and considerate. I mean... all things considered.

[Red_Arrow]

@BoopBoopBeep My point was simply that what went on at the Capitol which resulted in many being hurt or killed was far worse than locking a road.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@Red_Arrow Not for the guy having a heart attack waiting on that ambulance to get through or the couple whose baby stopped breathing

[Pterodon]

Yes I would and claim I didn’t see them

[exitseven]

I would be like SGT Shultz.

[Lliam]

I would want to. I don't care what they were protesting. But I wouldn't drive over them because I'd probably get in serious trouble with the authorities.

It would be fun to hose them down with the contents of a truck that services septic tanks.

I'm all in favor of the right to protest, but not to block traffic.

I love how the cops handled these fucktards

[purplepoppy]

There's nothing you can do. If you hit them with your car you'll be charged with dangerous driving or intent to kill, if you get out and thump them or damage their property you could get charged. They know that and try to provoke attacks to get more press coverage.

[exitseven]

I bet I could get them to move

[NathanDavis]

some people just go out and kind of "fantasize" for any excuse and chance to kill someone

I am not one of them

[Drewtate]

Yes. I've done it before with Antifa and blm. For a while they were trying to stop traffic on the freeway, I clipped one in my truck. Another time climate change protestors were blocking at a crosswalk and were scratching and kicking vehicles, the guy in front put his foot down and I followed

[DubiousIntentions]

There was room for people to just drive around them. But some people have run over people purposely that were doing things like this. If they want to protest, do it the correct way and stop messing with people trying to go about their lives and are not connected to those who you are protesting about. A bunch of Hells Angels would not have been as nice as the cops.

[msc545]

@dubiousintentions What is the "correct way", child?

[DubiousIntentions]

@msc545 Have you never heard of peaceful protesting? If you don't protest peacefully you have riots like in Watts, or when Reginald Denny was pulled out of his truck during the Los Angeles riot and beat to within an inch of his life, having his skull fractured in 91 places after being clobbered with a cinder block. Usually protests are closely monitored because people can't seem to do it in a peaceful way. Then you have protests that are way out there like in the Capitol incident.

[msc545]

How is standing or sitting in the street not peaceful?

[DubiousIntentions]

@msc545 Blocking every day traffic is not peaceful because it irritates people and causes them problems or hardships. What if an ambulance was taking someone to the hospital and couldn't move in traffic? But you can call it anything you want to. Seems you just like arguing for the sake of it, right?

[msc545]

I see. So irritating people is a good reason to kill protesters according to you?

[DubiousIntentions]

@msc545 I rest my case.

[msc545]

In other words, you think that killing people if they irritate you is OK?

[OlderAndWiser]

I would probably get out of my car, whip out old willie, and start pissing on them!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣 love this answer… this here should be mho “old Willie”🤣

[AviatorTom]

No, I would not even approach them. I would turn around and go another way. Protestors want things to escalate... it helps them make their point. I'm not going to help them do that.

[IslaTheWitch]

No.

It's frustrating, for sure. Especially if I'm in a hurry, but I can't imagine how it could validate hurting people or even killing them.

[PeachyPie93]

I would get out of my vehicle with a crowbar, they will run lol

[LiamJHayden]

Nope. Unless I were in genuine fear of death or serious injury a jury of my peers would try me and likely rightly convict me of murder for doing so.

[Curmudgeon]

At some point, if the people who do these stunts keep this up, they will run across someone with nothing to lose:

[lightbulb27]

No it would go bad in court. Inly scenario is its a trap (terrorists) and life at risk or someone has to get to emergency asap.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I'm not particularly pressed to get to work, so I'd use that as an excuse to telework that day. If I'm going anywhere else, yeah good chance. FAFO. People have to get to the hospital

[menina]

I would get annoyed yes, but I wouldn't run them over. I'm not a killer and obviously I don't want to go to jail.

[molonski2]

Naturally I would not , because I dont wish to go to jail for murder , I may be annoyed but little I can do about it Sabai Sabai.

[matchrestore]

No. My work can wait, and my supervisors would understand.

[FunkyMonkee]

Most likely! If you wanna live like a fool, you can die like one, too!

[Prettysammie]

I would text my friends and maybe fix my makeup. Who wants to kill people just so they can get to work sooner? Sounds like the perfect excuse to be late

[ShadezMcgee]

When zen ends, ass kicking begins. They get the verbal warning, then I am coming back from my trunk with a crowbar

[Surely]

A long as they were being peaceful and not damaging my vehicle. Which I would consider as a threat to me. I would probably turn around. Unless there was a medical reason to get through. Then there would be people getting hurt!

[slatyb]

No, I would take an alternate route. There almost always is one.

[Anonymous]

i drive to work at 6 in the morning, i doubt anyone would be up that early protesting. but if so i'd just turn around and go home and call in a remote work day.

[genericname85]

i would continue driving slowly, giving them ample time to move out the way. if they don't move out the way, i assume they agree to being driven over.

[love_conquers_lust]

No, that’s assault with a deadly weapon and some degree of homicide/manslaughter.

[andreasderjuengere]

Happened to me once.

I bypassed them using the farming field next to the road.

[AngryCarl]

No, I'd phone in to work to say I'll be late because there was an accident and there are dead bodies all over the road.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. That would be murder and I would get sent to prison.

[pethouse]

Sit there angry as fuck. If you try to push through they only get violent.

[veganrogue]

Nope, I'm too pretty for prison.

[CubaPirate]

I'd ferking love to

[7Phoenix7]

🫣 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

[Sparkie460]

I'd be very tempted buy I'd just call the police

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Speed Bumps?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Hell no.

[JacobJordan]

Yup.

[Jamie05rhs]

No; of course not.

[RedInnocent68]

Um, no…
