Some people will consistently side with the more powerful aggressors acting on selfish impulse against those whose personal sacrifice is for a higher cause.

I'm remembering seeing videos of protestors siding with Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights Movement getting beaten by police. They were beaten and even had cops spraying them with firehoses. Those people TRULY had backbone and felt that the dangerous risk to fight for equality and fair treatment of everyone in America was worth it. Same goes for the people in India and South Africa who sided with Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.

We need a lot more people with that kind of fighting spirit to protest!

The protesters are the aggressors here. They picked this fight and selfishly blocked that road.

The ICE pissed them off by violating basic human rights.

No that's not what this is about. Unless you're thinking open borders is a basic human right. ICE could never be good enough for these people.

Take a look on their website.

They want ICE shut down. Destroyed. These people are under a delusion that they're fighting nazis.

These brainwashed mobs just see Nazis everywhere but don't say a damn thing about Obama supporting Neo Nazis in Ukraine. They should be ignored and get out of the road.

Don't know what I'm supposed to do with you. It's like someone telling me the sky is green. It should be self evident that it isn't.

Protestors don’t have right to block traffic, so round cars and begging hitting the cars.

Imagine yourself surrounded by MAGA protestors banging on your car, what would any of you do? Probably run them over to get out of there before they pull you out and bash your head in. It’s no different for anti trump protestors or any other mob of people who surround others.

I’m remembering a truck driver being pulled from his truck and nearly beaten to death.
I’m remembering videos of protesters smashing peoples windows and beating them.
Blocking cars then hitting them isn’t protesting.

Picket lines can’t physical stop people from entering a building. Preventing someone free travel is kidnapping in my state. Someone being kidnapped can use any thing needed to escape and defend themselves.

This s**t is why I never go to Portland. Both worth ending up dead to see anything in that city or any other city that allows these “protests”(violent mobs)

Just like what happened in Charlottesville.

In this incident, the truck was barely moving forward.

The guard was just trying to get to his job.

The protestors had ample time to get out of the way of a moving truck.

So, no arrest made.


Next time someone needs to stand their ground. :wink:

I don't see how a rational mind can claim that flimsy people are 'blocking' a 2 ton ( or whatever ) truck. A Kevlar vest stands a decent chance of blocking a bullet. THAT is blocking something. A flesh and bone human standing in front of a truck knows they have no chance of impeding the forward motion of a truck. So, it's a set up. They know they don't stand a snowball's chance in hell, but they'll sue you if you inch forward (giving them every possible chance to step out of the way). They aren't going to side with the protesters, mark these words. They will probably throw them in jail and send them a bill from the hospital.

Ah yes, that ridiculous expensive American health care that nobody can afford

No wonder Americans use the Staff of Cadacues for their symbol of medicine. A staff of the Greek God Hermes which had NOTHING to do with healing but of greedy merchants and thieves.

It's a fitting symbol of American medicine for sure!
