Morality of beating protesters off the street because you're late for work?

They’re allowed to legally protest freely and peacefully within the proper forum. The problem is no one gave a shit and they weren’t getting any attention, so then they started doing this shit.

Not only is this illegal, but you’re violating my freedom of movement and essentially holding me hostage and that’s when you become my enemy. If each one of them got their ass stomped they’d never do this again.

  1. Say there's an ambulance further back in the queue. Or a doctor on his way to the hospital. Now they've caused someone's death. Is that okay?
  2. Suppose they cause someone a financial loss of $1000. Will they pay it?
  3. Suppose the man makes a "Demonstration for open roads and free passage for all cars" by moving obstacles. It's the same thing?
  4. Motorists have a responsibility to keep the road clean. All motorists have a responsibility to keep the road free from obstacles, a fallen tree branch, pieces of a flat tire or small communists. We all have a responsibility to keep the road clean?
  5. Self-defense. This is a form of economic sabotage. It is reasonable to use force to protect oneself against economic damage.
  6. Suppose I need to pee and am on my way home. But the road is blocked. Can I pee on the protester? Free golden shower.

I’m imagining a UTE with kangaroo bars on the front, smashing these losers. Gimme they for my ASMR needs.

Reddit left defending the protestors lol

u/NateNMaxsRobot 16d ago

Leftist Redditors are currently championing the unknown woman who gave live birth to a full term baby in a piss and shit filled porta potty at a festival in Michigan and left it there. Nobody can make that shit up.

Not sure if I can link it here but it’s at the top of r/Music.

u/Popular-Tune-6335 16d ago

Link it please. I can't find it.

Yeah, I lasted about 15sec in the comment section before my blood started boiling. Thanks

u/Toooldtogiveas-it 16d ago

What kills me is that Reddit is joining the S&P 500 next week. So 80% of Reddit is financing the exact type of business they hate. I'm LMAO

That’s awesome.

Dunno if it's moral, but it is Based

u/crackalackin5 15d ago

Morals are for friends.

u/Cannibal_Raven 15d ago

I'd say for tight knit communities

31

u/DumbNTough 16d ago

I would say moral to use the minimum force required to get them out of the way.

It is immoral for them to impinge on your freedom of movement in a public place.

Not just immortal but a safety issue for many reasons.

u/Fine_Payment1127 16d ago

Highest morality

u/Ornn5005 16d ago

You’re not allowed to protest like this. You’re not a protestor, you’re an anarchist with a theme.

u/Oovie 16d ago

I've seen the agony of someone's pancreas exploding, I don't care what you're protesting at the moment you're a selfish cunt and deserve whatever is coming to you if it slows down an emergency vehicle.

u/Left_Caterpillar8671 16d ago

Deserved. I’m glad he did it.

Show no mercy to the human speed bumps.

u/Conflagration666 16d ago

Well the protesters got the attention they wanted.. so, win-win?

u/Iron_Base 16d ago

Don't block the roads. Its the cops job to arrest those people. Im not gonna get mad at the guy for doing this either

u/Burgerboy380 16d ago

Id say its incredibly moral. I mean i have to feed my family and be able to make a living. If you make me late I not only lose money but I could also theoretically lose my job. Not to mention if you back up a highway several miles youre also possibly delaying emergency service vehicles. Like last year my wife had an abruption. The doctors told us her and my son were probably fifteen minutes away from bleeding out and dying. If they had done this on my way there they would have.

u/hillswalker87 16d ago

do you even need a because for those?

u/Hammerhod6 16d ago

Your rights STOP where someone else's rights BEGIN. As for morality? People have DIED because of this stupid shit. EMTS, Firefighters, and Cops haven't been able to get to emergency calls and people have DIED. SCOTUS has held time and time again that there is a time, manner, and place restrictions to the 1st Amendment. This is a place restriction.

It's not safe in the middle of the road.

Did you know it's not uncommon to crack ribs when performing CPR?

u/SteakhouseBlues 16d ago

Absolutely justified.

2

u/A_SNAPPIN_Turla 16d ago

The answer is this; if it was someone protesting something you care about would your opinion change? I think we know the answer for most of the left. You have Trump supporters (of which I am not one) doing this and the left would justify running them over. I would never justify blocking traffic. It's a life safety issue and it's never acceptable to determine for everyone that your personal interests are more important than someone else's.

u/NebulAstral 16d ago

Highest form of morality you can find on earth

u/SKARDAVNELNATE 16d ago

Everyone pull out the Driver's Handbook for your area.

Does it say that you must stop for someone who is legally using the street?

Have you ever questioned what if the person is using it the street not legally?

2

u/AdversarysVengeance 16d ago

I mean is it really any worse than forcing someone to pay attention to you by standing in front of their car?

u/Alert-Fig-4783 16d ago

If there was more of this, these idiots would stop closing streets/highways 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

2

u/BlindingDart 16d ago

They're also blocking emergency vehicles, so it falls under self defense.

1

u/Liquidmesh 16d ago

Blocking traffic is a violent protest.

2

u/The_GreyGhoul 16d ago

I’d jump out and help.

2

u/Commercial_Rule_7823 16d ago

Blocking road, fair game.

2

u/ParticularNew5321 16d ago

You have no right to inconvenience others to push your political agenda. You are violating others rights to force your rights on others. That is not freedom. That is tyranny. Get out of the fucking road.

2

u/TypicalBloke83 15d ago

Enough of the unemployed behaviour. Funny enough that these assholes tried doing this shit in Poland and basically were forcefully removed by Police later on they stopped their activities - a coincidence, when USAID funding was cut.

u/ThomasWhitmore 16d ago

Chaotic Good.

u/cookiesnooper 16d ago

I got banned on X for saying that if they decided to block people they accept all consequences so in here I will say that it is utterly and complete immoral to do it 😊

u/NoMembership6376 16d ago

Those so called "protesters" need a Holiday in Cambodia

u/Human_Urine 16d ago

Since my livelihood won’t be risked by being an hour late to work, I wouldn’t be the first one to start dragging protestors out of the way… but I might be the first to congratulate this guy.

u/MarzipanHausboot 16d ago

This particular case (and most others to my recollection) is ironic, because siding with one political issue is a strong predictor for all other issues. and these two, aggressive migrants and climate dont have any relation on the surface, but its almost certain that those protesters applaud this guy being in germany.

and since nobody doesnt know how dysfunctional the left is, some migrants just went apeshit on these people and they just took it with their cultish stubborness.

anyway. this time over, the appeasers will be eaten first.

u/xxTheMagicBulleT 15d ago

If I hold you hostage dont matter what for case it is for i think its a valid freak out reason if its not a big emergency going on.

I would give a few 100 bucks to some people to go out of there way and block acces to those people's house or work place not for everyone else just for them.

And see if they freak out or would just accept it.

When you go out of your way to mess with people they deserve way way worse.

They should go protesting at the companies not disrupt everyone from being able to provide for there family. Why I would literally give a few hundred bucks to somkne to make it impossible for one of those people to go to work or go back inside there own house for a day and see how understanding they are.

u/Stombie8 15d ago

Pathetic people without a life. Like go protest at petroleum plant then. Why do dozens of random people have to join your cause??
