Only approved protestors get to block traffic

 So around the country (except in Florida, apparently), ‘protestors’ were allowed to interfere with the travel of thousands of people.  Cops either stood around or were actively engaged in protecting the miscreants from angry travelers.

In Chicago, they blocked the way to O’Hare airport.  People left their cars behind and hoofed it trying not to miss their flights.

My question is why are they allowed to get away with these actions?  In Florida, they arrested their happy asses.  

I’m of the mind that folks should start carrying zip ties in their cars so they can drag these morons off the road and secure them to something  or make it so they can’t get back into the road.



  1. Drag 'em face down then tie to something upside down by an ankle.

  2. Usually they have applied for a permit, hence police have notice of time and place

  3. Dan–I deleted your comment for a couple of reasons 1) the slur name for San Fran and 2) the literal overkill for blocking traffic and 3) it's my blog. You get to the point of histrionic a little too often. Rein it the fuck in.B–Agreed.Anon–Then that begs the point of why any permits would be approved. People should start complaining to City Hall.

  9. Matthew–Right?!?Terry–I saw a video where a guy with a pretty loud exhaust backed up to a protester and laid it on. It was great!Flawtha–Short answer is they don't.Anon–You definitely have a point.Anon 7:50PM–Seriously? You are an idiot so I have removed your comment.Charlie–From what I'm reading, although the authorities know these things are going to happen, they are not getting permits and the methods they are using to block the roads take time to dismantle. That said, if they started arresting them once they've set foot on the highway and BEFORE they get set up….

  10. Are (were?) there not laws on the books alluding to “impeding or blocking” traffic being an offense? I seem to remember folks being ticketed.Not that I would see scores of citations written, but it points to the activity being illegel.Of course, the workaround is crosswalks, but even there only PEDESTRIANS have right of way. And in order to BE a pedestrian one must be WALKING. Of course a non-stop parade of morons back and forth would be effective.And there are no crosswalks over interstate highways.I've not yet been confronted by this. Being in Florida, possibly I may not.Just a thought… they may arrest them here in FL to protect them. We have constitutional concealed carry here and traffic patterns statewide that have lead to extremely short fuses behind the wheel. I would not be surprised if some of them were to be shot.Peaceful protest is one thing. Passive aggression is STILL aggression and need be curtailed.
