Protestors protest in the middle of highway…guy on parole begs them to move so he doesn’t get arrested for missing work….they refuse

[Trajan]

That’s the fukking point you stupid shyt. That’s literally the kind of activism that has worked for years. Stop being a dunce

TLR protest rules: only on the weekends and avoid rush hour

Oh And try not to make too much noise

 

[Ski Mask]

Protesting isnt supposed to comfort people, but at the same time i hope this affecting those the protestors are going against, cause then its pointless.

 

[RARI_Godwind]

Mf gon need a doctors note to explain his absence
America is so fcked up.
This is slavery btw. Literally slavery. “I need to get to WORK or else I’m getting locked up for 4 years.”

How many a breh has fallen victim to this

Ok cool. You do that shyt in front ima slap the living shyt outta you and whatever bytch you with. Ruined that man life for nothing and talking bout they will protest for him also lol. bytch the protest they did didn’t work and they think another will? Hopefully someone runs over them next time.

That ain’t work for shyt. It ain’t work for blacks people or another other cause. Hopefully everyone out there dies and they mothers next for raising dummies

 

[Nomad1]

Damn they actually sent the cac to prison.

This is the most ineffective way of protesting btw

Why does it matter if the media CONFIRMED his story
If said person is telling them that he is a PAROLE
That’s not something people will openly tell other people unless it’s a need to know basis
And if you’ve ever known somebody that got out/trying to change
You can tell in his sincerity that he wasn’t trying to go back to the bing
This form of protest isn’t even effective
Like somebody said in the twitter thread
Isn’t this causing more emissions to effect the ozone
Furthermore protesters of all forms need to start going to these politicians homes
Not a fukking interstate
One day somebody ain’t going to have the patience for this dumbshyt
And maximum overdrive
IYKYK

You can say that for any kind of protest. Like those going to those politicans homes can get shot by security out fear.

It was a climate change protest. I agree with the intent of the protest but I don't think its prudent to punish the average person trying to get to work. They should have protested in front of Joe Manchin's home or a power plant.

This. They should be bothering the people who are actually causing problems. The shyt in OP will just make people hate the protestors and make people be all in favor of laws and such that make it easier and more legal for regular people to be physical with the protestors. I'm surprised that some people don't realize that pissing off the people you want on your side is a terrible way to do things.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

This parole condition is unjust

 

[Reflected]

This has never been an effective organizing strategy in my opinion. There's no direct pressure on the politicians in this scenario, the people are the victims of this disruption, not those in power.

Imagine trying to drive home after a long day and you got kids in the car, and you just tryna get to the house. Then you see this bullsh*t

Or like this dude, trying to avoid going back inside

lol Bro, the civil rights movement? How do you think they protested? It was much more in your face and disruptive than this, they shut down entire buildings, roads, etc. Took beatings in the process too. If anything, King's approach to organized disruption should be the blueprint for all of these movements. Historically, the most successful movements have been the most disruptive. No one will hear you if you stand on the side of the road.

 

[duck]

I never understood this type of protesting. How us forcing people to hate you going to get u support?

Liars are real.

 

[Ski Mask]

People are more mad at the protestors than the fact the so called parole got punished for it, seeing as they have the perfect excuse.

 

[Reflected]

These guys are arms for white supremacy and law enforcement without even realizing it. These comments are no different than the comments made by "civil" white people during the civil rights movement. I can imagine these same people were clutching pearls during the protests in response to George Floyd's murder, the civil rights movement resulted in much more violence and much more property damage.

The state of the average citizen...

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Still sent dude to jail over some shyt he had no control over lmaoo

America

I support and have attended protests but the kind that disrupt civilians that aren’t direct persecutors of the cause being protested against are always going to be divisive.

Backing up traffic to bring awareness to climate change doesn’t do anything other than piss people off because driving is a necessity and can be a matter of life (like the guy who ended up violating his parole) and death.

What if an ambulance carrying someone in need of urgent care gets caught in something like this? Are protestors just gonna shrug it off if someone dies?
