    I can't believe people still think that driving is a right. It's even more ridiculous that people think you have the right to drive without being stopped.

    No one says driving is a right. But it is clearly marked on highways and freeways for no bikes or pedestrians. Why do protesters think laws do not apply to them just because they are protesting?
    Those laws are there for everyone's safety. Imaging going down the freeway at 70 mph and suddenly passed a curve is a group marching down the freeway?
    Protest all you want, but you still have to obey laws when you do.
    You don't understand civil disobedience?
    I think that some of the people that exercise civil disobedience often do not understand being held responsible for the consequences.
    And there's legal consequences for that. Our entitled driver culture supports that if you're in your car, you can assault or intimidate people with your car because you're being delayed. We've had people in here, and I've heard people say they would run people over who delayed them. I have a problem with this and am on the receiving end of it occasionally. F**kers try to intimidate me with their car or truck because they think I'm slowing them down. Of course, the irony isn't lost on them when I'm talking to them about it at the next stop and they realize I'm going as fast as they are. They all backpedal pretty quickly when out side of their anonymous cage.
    I would not support someone pushing the gas unless they believed themselves or family to be in danger. Then, by all means, get through the asshole parade and to safety. If you slowly make your way through the crowd in the highway and they do not move, resulting in a foot being run over, then that is their dumbass fault for illegally standing in the highway and is merely a consequence of their idiotic/illegal behavior.

    How many fucking highways are being blocked by protests anyway?? I know protests disrupt downtown traffic a lot, but highways and bridges that are the only route in and out of town? Just how often does that even happen? I don't even really see the point of debating such a rare occasion. How about thinking more about what actually happens on a regular basis? That's what really matters. Peaceful protestors being attacked by police is what matters, because that is what happens on a regular basis right now.

    I can tell you what happened to me. So whether it was once or 50, it had an effect. You don't have to be for violent police to be against protesters that disrupt everyday lives. You can think both suck.

    No. It is simply my personal belief that those who reject peaceful protest because they were inconvenienced are being very selfish.

    A big reason he won. He reached idiot America with reality TV. Idiot America is the key republican demographic.

    I really don't care if celebrities talk politics. My problem is with the sheeple that base their political beliefs on what a celebrity says.

    That's exactly how we all feel about Donald Trump. Fucking sheeple following that charlatan. Embarrassing. What happened to critical thinking, eh?

    Five days in the can for impeding the free passage of others. The law allows for a year in jail. They got off light.

    It's been going on for a while now. People have been watching reality TV for so long now that they don't know the difference anymore.
