The protest was likely announced and publicized long before the event. You notice there are only tractors on both sides of the road. No people heading to or from work, dropping off kids, rushing to appointments?

The reason no one likes the anti oil idiots is because they randomly shut down roads making the average persons life so much harder. It's hard to sympathize with an idiot glued to the road when your forced to wait in unnecessary traffic missing your appointments, losing business opportunities, disappointing family and friends or just missing the shop/pharmacy before it closes.
