I like how people are calling it hit and run, like those drivers should have stayed at the scene for the protesters to calmly collect their contact information.

This is fantastic! The only problem I have with it is that the driver wasn't in an 18 wheelers. Could have taken more out that way. You DO NOT block a street to protest. If you do, you do so at your own risk. If a car plows into you at 60mph, that's your fault, not the drivers. Maybe that will keep these shitheads from blocking traffic.

If they had dragged the drivers out and beaten them to death you'd have a problem with that, right:rolleyes: The legal thing to do was call the police.

lol, a call from a person protesting police? Yeah sure, I'd tell them to go fuck themselves.

And yeah, I'd have a problem with them taking the driver out and beating them. If my wife called with an emergency and I couldn't get to her in time because of some shitheads blocking the road, guess what, some people are going to eat it.

They're not "protesting the police." They're protesting police abuse. This is not difficult to comprehend. And running over people to see your wife over an emergency may save you from prison, but it'll still damage your bank account.

I'm just waiting til this escalates to looting of homes in the area and "protestors" start getting capped.

I quote protestors because half these people are just trying to join a movement and fuck things up for everybody.

I have mixed feelings about protesters. The stuff they're protesting about usually makes sense, and with our rights slowly being taken away day after day we need people to fight the system and cause grief to those in power.

But on the other hand, lot of those protesters are there more to cause other people grief, than the people they should be causing grief towards. Take the Ferguson protests for example, instead of damaging stores and other people's property they should be bringing that shit right to the police station or city hall and turning those cars over and breaking those windows. Protest against the actual source of the problem, not random people/places.

exactly.

and them blocking the roads. interstate, etc just makes me no give a fuck about them.

Is it difficult to comprehend there was no police abuse in the Michael Brown case? Well, for most it's easy to comprehend, for you it's more of a challenge.

If you ever wanted to run over people and get away with it ... now is the time.

Think the police are gonna be upset with people helping them out?
