Protestors that keep people from getting where they need to go are not "peaceful". They are causing indirect harm to every person they block.

The guy was old, likely scared and just wanted out of the situation. These people who damaged his vehicle should be arrested.

It would be better if people actually watched the video before commenting. The driver was not being reckless. He was pinned in and tried to get out of the crowd as well as he could. At least that's the edit I saw.

He didn't speed through anything, like other posters have indicated. He was trying to slowly creed past the people in order to not hurt them as they began kicking his vehicle.

This has got to stop. Protesters blocking traffic is not acceptable. It's not speech. It violates the freedom of others. It should be shut down.

I'm all for peaceful protest which doesn't hamper emergency work. If you are blocking traffic, it's not helping one's cause. It's just pissing more people off and they will get turned against one's cause.

To me it’s on protestors deciding to use the streets to amplify their voice. Protest in the appropriate areas please. Just because your message is stagnant or growing less doesn’t give you the right to demand others stop life.

Exactly. Goto a public park. Go to a city counsel meeting. Get out of the streets as people are trying to get things done. You are only going to piss more people off than you "enlighten".

If you're blocking traffic and you get hit by traffic you're wrong for trying to block traffic. Not hard.

If you’re in the road swarming some guys car like a mass of zombies, it’s clearly your fault. That being said I can’t stand old people on the road. They make stupid decisions and they are dangerous. Follow if you agree.

I just had an old guy today give me a finger because he also hit me as he was driving the wrong way in a parking lot.
