If you think people deliberately blocking the road when there are other places protests can be done is the same as stuff that has to happen like construction and natural disasters like flooding you are a dumbass. So you know, here’s hoping you get that extra reality check since you clearly need it.

No, not preemptively. I am mad at them for blocking the roads. End of. The possibility of blocking an ambulance is just one of the reasons high up on the list that I am mad at them for it. I hope no loved one of yours ever dies because they get to a hospital too late. But maybe it might give you a reality check.

Well I hope tou’re the one needing the ambulance thT’s blocked by them, since you don’t mind the inconvenience.

Ha. Those anarchist kids don’t vote. Can’t be part of the system man!

I understand this. I also understand the concept of escalation and the study of recent history. Riots will not help.

Yes because rioting has improved police tensions a LOT in the last few years.

Way to entirely miss the point about the Christie thing. I’m not talking about his reasons here, which were dumb and petty and he should go to jail for, but the criticism that was tossed at him about it from the left. One of big talking points that was constantly used was it impeding medical services/people needing to…

You just need one fatality due to blocked traffic to kill any justification for a disorderly protest.

Shitting right in your pants is easier than holding it and finding a bathroom. That doesn’t make it an advisable or excusable course of action.

And what will you accomplish by burning shit to the ground? Seems to me they’re just breaking things for their own emotional release, because it sure as hell isn’t doing anything productive for the cause.

So you’re suggesting that we hold ourselves to the same ethical standards they do? I’d prefer a higher bar for my team.

Except there is a distinct difference between causing inconvenience and getting people killed. An ambulance delayed on the way to a pick up or to the hospital? Beyond an inconvenience. Same for people who might be driving to a hospital themselves. Remember Christie and Bridge Gate and how pissued people on the left…

Yeah, I’m with you on this. I hate the idea of a Trump presidency, but I refuse to wallow around in despair because of it. Letting him and his administration control your feelings means they’re winning and it makes us all look like weak crybabies. Until the day some shit actually goes down (I’m truly staying…

It’s like they’re a bunch of drunk white kids tipping cows in the field at night. Idiots.

I get you are (hopefully) being metaphorical, but I’d prefer they not burn down our nation’s capitol.

Yeah, this definitely won’t provide a pretext for more authoritarianism from him or push centrists towards his side.

I am all for subversion and protest, but rioting, destroying property, and basically making the resistance look like a bunch of violent amateurs is NOT an approach that I can condone.

Really sticking it to the man by destroying city owned trash cans.

Protestors shutting down highways are shitty

Yes, living in 24/7 panic and mental paralysis is totally the right call. That’s absolutely gonna lead you down the correct and productive path. Good call.
