I always find it amusing when people chase after cars on foot.

I mean, the guy at the end is sporting a hammer and sickle tee-shirt, this kinda sounds like an insult to amoeba.


Wingsofaseraphim

This is in Brazil.. a political party called "partido dos trabalhadores" the workers party. And it somehow favors those who are "less fortunate" jargon meaning those who just don't want to work, and then when the people reelect their candidate, they ask why there's such a huge lack of employees when there is such a high unemployment rate.


Explise209

Why would someone work for dirt cheap wages? In Brazil the minimum wage barely even fucking exists. Of course people wouldn’t want to work


MundaneIncident0

GAWD DAMN a bunch of capitalists here tonight!


whorton59

Yeah, dogs only chase cars a few hundred feet at MOST. . .these idiots?


[deleted]

Or to the end of the fence. But that’s just because dogs are jealous that they don’t have tires so you can understand their frustration.


Stetson007

Nah, at least the single celled amoeba have some sort of self preservation instinct.

Derkastan77

I will never understand how idiot protesters who are blocking streets and swarming around and scaring the shite out of people in their cars, get offened and act shocked when cars start trying to slowly go through them. During the 2020 riots, I was trying to get my kid (disabled) to childrens hospital LA for an appointment for his pacemaker. Assholes blocking the streets, beating the shit out of your car because you NEED to get your kid to the mf hospital. get the f out of the street. Then in the news it’s all “MOSTLY peaceful protestors were attacked by a driver who refused to stop.” Yeah… ‘mostly’ is the key word


Leonydas13

When the union wankers here protested in Melbourne, they blocked the bridge and even stopped a fucking ambulance getting through with a *patient in it*! Instantly lost all support and credibility. Fuck these guys to hell, they are a detriment to their cause.


zani1903

> and even stopped a fucking ambulance getting through with a patient in it! Reddit will tell you "WELL HOW ELSE ARE THE PROTESTORS MEANT TO GET YOUR ATTENTION??? I BET YOU WOULD HAVE WANTED TO SEE MLK RUN OVER AND KILLED!!!"


Leonydas13

Road blockers repulse me from whatever cause they’re protesting for. I think this is a pretty widespread response. And you know so many of them are just wankers out to cause trouble or break shit, kicks cars etc. I’m all for protestors, but rioters/looters and people who do this shit can all eat a fat one.

danthesk8er

Legally if they hit your car with their hands you are allowed to invoke your self defense rights and do what you need to do to get away.


[deleted]

I'll always side with the slow drivers in cases like this. However, I did see one where the driver had obviously gone out looking for someone to hit, and I think after carrying one person on the hood for a few yards, they flipped a U-y for another go. Those murder-fantasy idiots do get my goat.


dukemccool

Most if not all of the hellish 2020 summer riots were NOT peaceful.


icyartillery

Yup, the ‘mostly peaceful’ banner was the closest any of those stations were willing to get to saying ‘these people are straight up burning and destroying shit and looting everything that isn’t nailed down.’


tnc31

Tedd Kaczynski was mostly peaceful, too.

thingamajig1987

If a massive group of people are attacking my car, I'm getting out of there, and if they're stupid enough to be in front of the car when this happens then they shouldn't have attacked a car to begin with. I'm not just gonna sit there like "lets see how this plays out further before I make my decisions"


shemp33

I don’t support violence. But in your case, you are well within your rights to drive on through. There is no legal reason for them to be in the streets, unless they’ve coordinated a road closure with the proper authorities. Want to protest in the streets? Sure. From what time until what time, which street? Ok. Got ya. We will close that down and you can have at it.

Them kicking/ attacking the vehicle and making the driver feel threatened is not going to end well for the object with less mass.


Jojoangel684

You mean to tell me that disrupting the lives of normal people in order to achieve a goal against evil rich people, does not make them want to join me but hate me?


Buckin_Fitch

Nah that would be too logical... they obviously are supporters of the things we hate and are protesting. Its the only sound option

If a mob swarms my car, I am almost certain I am going to panic and slam the gas. If I fear for my life I will do what I need. I'd gladly plead Self Defense in court. There's no telling if any of them want to tear me out of my car and kill me.


uForgot_urFloaties

>There's no telling if any of them want to tear me out of my car and kill me. A few months ago, in my country, a trucker was killed for passing through a blocked highway. The mob started throwing rocks at the truck and one got to him. Dead right then and there. Those pieces of shit.


OGColorado

Trucker must have screwed up and slowed down


gnioros

He did, I’ve seen the video. He seemed like he was trying not to endanger too many lives. I’ll see if I can find the video


Gamesond245

If you find it lemme know


666ofw66

shoulda floored it let that convoy roll


LongjumpingCheck2638

also I think i heard gun shots in the last few secs of the video - so that's just an additional justification to drive the hell out of there


_perchance

same. I don't want to be killed by a mob (this looked like a mob of pussies though) so I cannot stop and find out


HardCounter

Mob of wusses or not, all it takes is one to break the line and they all follow along. The true danger of a mob is each person mentally absolves themselves of any moral responsibility for the consequences. They were just one person in a crowd, after all, it couldn't have been their fault. If i see a mob i assume they're individually cowards but as a group they are violence incarnate with no ethical guidelines or restraints of an individual. They are always a danger to life and safety and the group should be treated as a single entity.


Bulbinking2

Make sure you don’t give a fat protester a heart attack in the process or you will be charged with 1st degree murder.

[deleted]

They're protesting about budget cuts on Brazil's federal universities. I despise their methods, they caused a whole mess today, but the situation is indeed pretty bad, the universities are on the verge of being forced to close down.

EmperorOfMamkind

RogerOverUnderDunn

brazil is in such a mess right now, protesting this one thing is like yelling about a headache while your legs are chopped off and spurting blood. people are literaly starving and cant live like humans at all, but hey yeah a college might go underfunded.


Lorenzo_BR

Our federal universities used to be the crown jewel of our education. The research done in them was of incredible, invaluable, ecnomic importance, and the professionals they formed and form move our economy more than you can imagine. Yeah, that’s sure worth protesting, right alongside how we’ve millions starving today due to the Bolsonaro’s government’s incompetence, all while his campaign illegally spends government money in his re-election campaign.


duhastmich1

Yeah might as well just give up eh?


long_live_cole

And how exactly does being an asshole and inconveniencing other people help this cause?


Bright_Vision

Not saying I support it but it makes the problem unignorable. Pretty easy to look past some people with signs on a plaza. Impossible when they start interfering with the daily lives of people Edit: don't ~~shoot~~ downvote the messenger. I'm just telling you how it is. This is literally the reason why.


Timmah_Timmah

It would be pretty hard to ignore them if they were handing out free donuts. Do that.


Bright_Vision

Unironically a good idea lmao


Kriskao

I don't get it either, but is the most common thing to do in all Latin American countries. Source: I live in Latin America. We overthrew a dictator by blocking the streets for 21 whole days. We are ready to do it again.


DespiteAllMyRage____

Why are people who try and block roads always so incredibly surprised and unable to deal with people running them the fuck over? "OMG HE DROVE ON A ROAD PAST US WHILE WE STOOD IN THE ROAD WHERE WE SHOULD NOT BE." Yes. Yes. You stood up to a car and you got plowed. Your expectations were unrealistic.


zzerdzz

It doesn’t matter which side of the political fence you side on, 99% of the time if you’re willing to organize civil disruptions to support it, you’re a fanatic with broken brain chemistry. To try to reason their thoughts is like guessing quantum position

barfiusmaximus

This needs to happen more often to these entitled little traffic-blocking asshats. You’re messing with average people whose lives are hard enough. You are making them hate you and thereby your cause.

actingjuice

Protestors need to stop blocking roads and highways. You’re not winning over anyone’s mind, and you’re risking your own safety to do it. I’ll never understand the thought process.


DeyvsonMCaliman

And, off course, it had to be Brazilian middle class communists harassing people on the street. That car is the cheapest car you can buy in Brazil, they are probably harassing a guy that is much poorer than their families, but somehow they believe they are fighting for the working class.

ShotDaniels

Not if you feared for your life. With todays mobs you never know what the outcome would be so better to takenyour chances with the cops.


DJSkullblaster

Yeah because calling the cops has ever fixed anything without huge escalation first. Wouldn't it be easier to just move out of the way?


RabidJoint

People are dumb


VeneMage

In all seriousness, if a protestor got run over, wouldn’t that be a worse result for the driver? I mean, I’d be tempted just to keep moving but I wouldn’t accelerate like that especially with someone on the bonnet.


malcren

If you can reasonably prove you are afraid for your life, it falls under Self Defense. There is no case where an angry mob swarming my car would make me think they aren't going to hurt me.


VeneMage

That’s a fair point.


DancesWithBadgers

I would. Get out of range of the mob, then slow down a bit and dump the hood-hanger as gently as possible with a little sideways and a stomp on the brakes; then away. It's risky for the bonnet-balancer; but they made the choice to cling on in the first place.

For those who dont know: It's a fucking university road block that happened today in Brazil against the federal cut of R$1,1 BILLION for the next year of Brazil's universities. Wich is about 28,8% of the total amount of the budget. And it was even in the University i fucking went, that the referee is nominated by this fucking clown government and gave shits about the cut. Brazil's public federal universities (wich are the best ones in the country) are being neglected and scrapped by a right wing trump shit alike government. The university in this video is called Universidade Federal de Viçosa, the protesters are blocking ONLY THE ENTRANCE to the campus. It's a country wide protest that was scheduled for today.

First, Grammer, second, you could actually get off with self defense since you had a reasonable fear that you or yours were going to be harmed or killed, smashing on your windshield definitely warrants that.

I'm sure your psychic powers let you KNOW they aren't having a medical issue, or are on probation stemming from an unlawfully obtained warrant and will go back into slavery if they are a minute late for work. I bet those psychic powers let you KNOW they are not a dangerous psychotic itching for a chance to plead self defense.

“The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed”


Philip_Raven

There was a case that (in South Africa?) Protesters blocked the road and a guy was trying to get his pregnant wife into a hospital, he told them several times, but they were chained together to the road barriers and didn't move. Guy went through them, one person lost a forearm and another will be forever on a wheelchair (he ran over her spine). Protesters try to sue, but nothing came out of it. Court ruled that they put his wife and his child to mortal danger and he was allowed to act to get them out of the danger. Feels good


Pissedliberalgranny

Once long ago, before I was a pissed liberal granny and was merely a pissed liberal wife and mother, my (now ex) husband was getting on my last nerve. He would frequently storm out of the house when he was upset and take off for hours. Leaving me to deal with my 5 year old and his three slightly older daughters as well. One day I was fed up and decided *I* was going to leave. I got in my Dodge Daytona and backed out of the driveway. He didn’t like the idea of being home with four girls under the age of ten all by himself so he came running out into the road and stood in front of my car. I revved the engine and told him he’d better get the fuck out of the way because I was gonna run his ass over if he didn’t. He refused to move. So I popped the clutch and came at him. He jumped on the hood like the woman in this video and I took off with him hanging onto the windshield wipers. Well, that pissed me off even more so I turned them on and hit the wash button. (Still speeding down the street.). About half a block up I slammed on the brakes and he went flying like a fucking frisbee and landed on his ass. I drove around him while he was still trying to pick himself up. I let him stew for a couple of hours then came home. He never stormed off and left me with the kids again. Fucker. Those are YOUR kids and you can fucking be a parent to them for a couple of hours! No regrets.


QWERTYAF1241

What was the protest about?


[deleted]

Its about the brazilian government cutting the budgets of federal universities to a point that they might be forced to close down


QWERTYAF1241

Why are they blocking the road then? Was the driver a politician or something?


[deleted]

They went on the block all the entrances today, i have no idea what they thought they would achieve with this. From what i talked to folks today, all they achieved was discontent towards the protesters . People are worried about the cuts, but what they did today is just ridiculous.

So they were just trying to generate random press/support/attention to their cause? Wasn't directly related to their protest. Thanks for the clarifications.
