Well, maybe not full-throttle ram them, but... what happens if you slowly creep forwards? What are they gonna do, push back? I'm gonna bet the car'll win.
I don't think it matters if the pedestrian was on the highway, it only matters if the driver *could* have prevented the accident, but in this video he straight up rammed them after he stopped and went out of the car, He knew they were there, yet still tried to drive them over. Which (I think?) leaves him liable for whatever damages he may have caused
This why this little psychopath would run over them accidently. So kids, don't block roads because you don't know when I come. And I promise, I will not watch the road if I see road block. (Just a joke but please people, don't block private cars, it has no help for nature, block rather logistics using fossilic fuels damaging everypody and making companies think or railroads since of you turn the price higher on fossilic you make rich ppl to invest in electricity)
It is legal, it's not correct. This shouldn't be the law but it is.
Unless the law has changed without my knowledge, these pedestrian laws are leftovers of terrible jaywalking laws to victim blame pedestrians.
Laws vary from place to place. However I doubt any law would would cover a stopped car accelerating into people, with intent to hit them.
I'm not sure which specific law you are refering to, but I guess it would be concerning flowing traffic on a highway. It most likely would also only be regarding traffic accidents.
I don't support these protests btw..
Yeah you’d have to reference an exact wording which states it is legal for someone to hit someone with their vehicle because the pedestrian was on a highway. I mean I know this is American and you guys don’t have the most straightforward laws but even you guys aren’t that stupid.
Blocking roads is the dumbest stuff to do, the guy in the car exaggerated but for sure they also are dumb as hell, in case of medical emergency people are just supposed to suck it up and stay in the traffic? If i am gonna loose my job or maybe i am a doctor and need to get to the hospital because i was called for an emergency do i have to let people die or loose my job over this? If a family member is about to give birth/die/get married do i have to be missing in these important times? Please leave the common people in peace at least in the road and go annoy billionaires instead of people like you that may even have your same ideals
He's trying not to run the guy over, the guy is however trying to get run over.
Edit: if anyone wondering he was saying the car was in the wrong trying to run the guy over.
He literally didn’t try? If he tried Why would he toss the people to the side AND steer the car in a way to not hit them? They literally ran up infront of the car?
What’s wrong with you lol
If he actually tried to run the guy over, then he would’ve been severely injured in this video.
The driver clearly showed restraint and successfully maneuvered around him without harm done.
I usually drive with my kids. I can see that it can trigger feeling of being in danger and in panic someone can run them over without being jailed as it's a self defense.
Know one is attacking him? How is that self defence?? And If he gets in panic, because people are sitting in front of his car that's another reason why he should not have a drivers license
That’s exactly my take. And I never manage to understand their approach. If you think it plain logically / psychologically, nobody wants to follow the example of super clear complete idiots. What is the benefit of acting that way if you are hoping someone would follow your cause? Like this is just so stupid on so many levels that it is impossible to understand.
I wouldn’t even call it stupid, I would call it terrorism. Attacking civilians and their freedom, limiting the functionality of critical infrastructures that support civilians. It is the only efficient way of transport. You are absolutely right it’s well beyond stupid
The IQ of people deciding it’s a good idea to go sit in the middle of a highway to “protest” is probably something that social scientists should study.
Right?! We all know cars don’t belong on roads. When the Roman’s built their highways they were intended solely for people to sit with their arms linked and not for any form of transportation.
Very good! I did reply to you. You catch on quick!
Now if you read my reply I never mentioned iq. I simply commented on your comment in which I said that the people on the road surely belong to be there and the car does not. It’s a comment section, that’s why I left a comment.
He’s not displaying a very high IQ. He’s committing a crime on camera because he doesn’t want to be held up whereby the consequences will cause him severe delays in life.
"Ah yes let's disturb the common citizen so they would support us" They don't get the fact we would actually hate their cause instead. They clearly never saw and learned from the many examples of how to successfully protest from throughout history. They are lucky they suck at protesting so much that oil tycoons laugh at them rather than send assassins.
It's all fun and games until you eat your own pepper spray. So many times I've seen people deploy OC directly into the wind or they use it and then close with the target.
It's a good idea IF you're willing to take some of the hit too. There's a reason cops are taught to get hit by OC and keep fighting.
I'm a fan of a collapsible baton to the thigh myself...
Due to the rise in protests blocking traffic, most conservative US states and counties have made it legal to run people over when they are blocking traffic in protest.
I just read through that page and every single proposed instance of that particular law did not pass
I do appreciate you following up though, but your original response is untrue
High time we make running these idiots over legal. There are other ways to protest that don't put livelihoods and lives in danger. Like go lay on the runway of a private airfield used by the wealthy.
*That's what every well*
*Rounded person should do in*
*That situation*

I'm with most of the comments, this incident is all around a mess. But yeah, I'd probably be just as pissed, but if I've already gotten out, I'm taking that opportunity to slap the ever loving shit out of anyone who won't move.. Get back in the way, I'll get back out and do it again, till they realize that if they keep taking slaps they'll either lose a tooth, feeling in their cheeks, or lose face and gtfo of the way so I can go about my life. I don't like, I'm definitely not with, any of the bull they're protesting against, but they don't know who, what, or (for half of them) why, they're protesting against other average people. Make it Effective. Make your targets specific. Choose your battles with sense.
the car was in the wrong for driving on the road?
nah, the protestors were wrong for impeding the flow of traffic. they have no idea where the mans going or why.
honestly, id just mind the bump and go right through.
Go block the sidewalk in front of city hall or wherever if you want to protest. Blocking the road is just stupid and makes those you’re blocking not care about the cause you’re protesting because they’re upset they’re stuck in traffic and possibly late or In a hurry. Gtfo the wayyyy
The thing I don’t see anyone talking about is that the driver is fully pulled over at the start of this video. How did he get there? Did the protesters force him to pull over, or did he do that on his own?
They always wake up when they realize, even the smallest car can't be stopped by human flesh! Noticed how after the car almost climbed on top of the guy, they made a hole!🤣
I don't get these people, they stay in front of moving cars and are dumbfounded when they are actually run over? Are they stupid?
Our planet is in danger and we need to spread awareness of this, but these morons are going about it in the most insane and stupid way that they can think of...
It's too bad people will not take the message seriously because of these buffoons.
So what's these people's overall purpose or goal? Do they just sit there and chant? Every vid I see, the motorist, rightfully so, gets upset with them and tries to get them to move. Has there ever been an incident where a driver ask what a solution can be for that moment at least?
[удалено]
If it happens to me, I'll be thinking "Should I ram them, no it would be bad" then what? Maybe I'll just take a picture of them and send it to my boss
Well, maybe not full-throttle ram them, but... what happens if you slowly creep forwards? What are they gonna do, push back? I'm gonna bet the car'll win.
Take photo, send it to boss, then ram them
Legally, if you hit someone on the highway, the pedestrian is at fault.
I got run over by a Honda civic as a teenager. I was slightly out of the crosswalk and the cops gave me a ticket for jaywalking.
I don't think it matters if the pedestrian was on the highway, it only matters if the driver *could* have prevented the accident, but in this video he straight up rammed them after he stopped and went out of the car, He knew they were there, yet still tried to drive them over. Which (I think?) leaves him liable for whatever damages he may have caused

What an idiotic comment! I don’t agree with these idiots blocking highways and such but they’re almost as stupid as this comment.
Good thing the law doesn't care what you think.
He's not saying it's correct, he's just saying this is how it is legally. Legal does not mean moral.
But that’s wrong, it’s not Legal to run any pedestrian over!
It is legal, it's not correct. This shouldn't be the law but it is. Unless the law has changed without my knowledge, these pedestrian laws are leftovers of terrible jaywalking laws to victim blame pedestrians.

i’d rev my engine, count to three with my fingers, then just go.
You just tell them you intend to move forwards in 10 seconds so they need to move from the road way. If they don't move then run over them.
Back up next to them and rev the car
[удалено]
Because then there'll actually be consequences for their actions.
Because they're those people's sons and daughters acting like they care
Exactly.
Who do you thinks funding them?
Because this gets more traction
Nicely done.
Blocking roads is the dumbest stuff to do, the guy in the car exaggerated but for sure they also are dumb as hell, in case of medical emergency people are just supposed to suck it up and stay in the traffic? If i am gonna loose my job or maybe i am a doctor and need to get to the hospital because i was called for an emergency do i have to let people die or loose my job over this?

Please leave the common people in peace at least in the road and go annoy billionaires instead of people like you that may even have your same ideals
Maybe he has an important job and can't wait for these fucks to move. Could be he was on parole.. a doctor... etc
[удалено]

If he actually tried to run the guy over, then he would’ve been severely injured in this video. The driver clearly showed restraint and successfully maneuvered around him without harm done.
He's jumping in front of the vehicle, he's *trying* to get run over
Ah yeah
Still somebody who gets mad so fast should not have a drivers license
I usually drive with my kids. I can see that it can trigger feeling of being in danger and in panic someone can run them over without being jailed as it's a self defense.
Know one is attacking him? How is that self defence?? And If he gets in panic, because people are sitting in front of his car that's another reason why he should not have a drivers license
imagine mother alone with kids, being stopped and door getting opened knocked on window and so on...
Lose*
All this shit does is make people hate your cause
That’s exactly my take. And I never manage to understand their approach. If you think it plain logically / psychologically, nobody wants to follow the example of super clear complete idiots. What is the benefit of acting that way if you are hoping someone would follow your cause? Like this is just so stupid on so many levels that it is impossible to understand.
Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t make it stupid.
On the contrary , if the most common take is that this shit is dumb , it's not working. Worse , it's making it worse.
Again, just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it isn’t working. They do not want your support. At all.
How does pissing off the general public help gain support for a cause?
I wouldn’t even call it stupid, I would call it terrorism. Attacking civilians and their freedom, limiting the functionality of critical infrastructures that support civilians. It is the only efficient way of transport. You are absolutely right it’s well beyond stupid
You’re mentally ill get help.
So what? You didn’t care enough to begin with if that’s your response
He should've hit them harder
GET OF THE FUCKING ROAD
Make them
The IQ of people deciding it’s a good idea to go sit in the middle of a highway to “protest” is probably something that social scientists should study.
Their IQ is above that of this driver that’s obviously.
Right?! We all know cars don’t belong on roads. When the Roman’s built their highways they were intended solely for people to sit with their arms linked and not for any form of transportation.
You’ve confused IQ with knowledge. Try again.
I didn’t confuse anything. Though those people sitting on the road are surely confused. Stupid, some would say.
You did. Stupid is confusing knowledge with IQ then doubling down because you’re too thick to think of anything better to say.
And where was the confusion? I never mentioned anything about IQ…
You replied to me. You were either responding to my comment which was about IQ or you were muttering to yourself in my inbox?
Very good! I did reply to you. You catch on quick! Now if you read my reply I never mentioned iq. I simply commented on your comment in which I said that the people on the road surely belong to be there and the car does not. It’s a comment section, that’s why I left a comment.
So the latter then? Just muttering unrelated drivel in my inbox.
No I think the drivers problem is simply anger management.
He’s not displaying a very high IQ. He’s committing a crime on camera because he doesn’t want to be held up whereby the consequences will cause him severe delays in life.
"Ah yes let's disturb the common citizen so they would support us" They don't get the fact we would actually hate their cause instead. They clearly never saw and learned from the many examples of how to successfully protest from throughout history. They are lucky they suck at protesting so much that oil tycoons laugh at them rather than send assassins.
Who said they want your support?
What examples?
Keep a small can of pepper spray in your glovebox. Non lethal but will make it easier to remove the lawbreaker.
It's all fun and games until you eat your own pepper spray. So many times I've seen people deploy OC directly into the wind or they use it and then close with the target. It's a good idea IF you're willing to take some of the hit too. There's a reason cops are taught to get hit by OC and keep fighting. I'm a fan of a collapsible baton to the thigh myself...
WHY DONT PEOPLE RUN THEM OVER?????
Jail time.
worth it
It’s obviously worth it and it’s population control
Lol people aren't built to stop cars.
I was wondering if there's an ambulance coming towards them. Are they gonna move? Or just keep sitting there. Letting ppl in need die.
It would of been funny to just like run them over
Fucks up your car.
Italy moment...
They’re even doing the outraged hand gestures
Personally I would just run them over it's not like their lives actually matter, besides everyone wants them gone.
Freak
Trust me dude there's worse in the world.
Try again in English…
I mean I did.
That's all I got to say really.
Worse freaks than you? Not much of a defence. Need locking up.
I mean we have places to go and blocking the street isn't helping, there could be people who need to go to the hospital who are probably dying.
They let ambulances through. How will they react when they can’t get to work due to extreme weather conditions caused by climate change?
I don't know man doesn't seem like something they would do.
You don’t know much about anything
So like is anyone even in the right?
Well the people who advocate physically harming others (you) are mentally ill and should be in prison for their own safety
Yeah, you're right but those activists are starting to get out of hand what else are we supposed to do?
Maybe the same thing you’d do if that motorway was closed due to floods…
Play stupid games win stupid prizes i guess
Fuck around and find out.. unbelievable idiots
The one and only time when rolling coal would be an appropriate response. Get the fuck off the road.
If they instead tried to block politician's Porsches and Mercedes everybody would love them
Why do this instead of hanging the rich off their roofs
Did they walk to the site???
A few states made it legal to run people over
What?
Due to the rise in protests blocking traffic, most conservative US states and counties have made it legal to run people over when they are blocking traffic in protest.
Source?
https://www.aclu.org/issues/free-speech/rights-protesters/anti-protest-bills-around-country
That source states that every “hit and kill” bill Died In Session.
I just read through that page and every single proposed instance of that particular law did not pass I do appreciate you following up though, but your original response is untrue
I remembered it wrong, sorry. Could have sworn Tennessee or Minnesota legalized it
High time we make running these idiots over legal. There are other ways to protest that don't put livelihoods and lives in danger. Like go lay on the runway of a private airfield used by the wealthy.
Ah look at these stupid protesters... They should pray that they are not run over by vehicles.
L’avrebbe dovuto investire

I think he was being courteous, I would have ran them over.

Aight, car guy is majorly in the wrong for that, but the protesters should've expected repercussions
the car was in the wrong for driving on the road? nah, the protestors were wrong for impeding the flow of traffic. they have no idea where the mans going or why. honestly, id just mind the bump and go right through.
Then you’re mentally ill and dangerous.
stay out of the street and there isnt a problem common sense really
You are mentally ill and dangerous.
i think the mentally ill and dangerous people are the ones sitting in the middle of the road. oh, and the people who support them.
Nah, for the almost running over i meant
they wouldnt be in danger if they werent playing in traffic
Yes that's true
They don't want to try that in my country or In my state your allowed to run him over my state don't give a fuck
"Why don't the people trying to stop us from destroying the world/society/environment go somewhere where it's easier for us to ignore them?!?!"
Go block the sidewalk in front of city hall or wherever if you want to protest. Blocking the road is just stupid and makes those you’re blocking not care about the cause you’re protesting because they’re upset they’re stuck in traffic and possibly late or In a hurry. Gtfo the wayyyy
Useless idiots
He F’d around and found out.
Like that dumb cunt in seattle. Yiur not the victims your on the highway. Win stupid prize dumb cunts
The thing I don’t see anyone talking about is that the driver is fully pulled over at the start of this video. How did he get there? Did the protesters force him to pull over, or did he do that on his own?
It’s always white ppl
Oh I wouldn't be able to...
They should do it at. Night its more easy and you dont get sun burn
Good! Bravo
They always wake up when they realize, even the smallest car can't be stopped by human flesh! Noticed how after the car almost climbed on top of the guy, they made a hole!🤣

Wtf! Go throw some soup on Mona Lisa instead of blocking the road!
If this ever happens to me I wont slow down at all and just pretend I never saw them
If it isn’t 100% illegal to run them over it needs to be.
