This seems very dangerous to do if their lives do matter.

Why do I feel like these are the same kind of people that, months and months later, put out a "office party lypsyncing to Pharel's 'Happy' " after it's already been redone a gajillion times.

Dangerous and down right dumb.

By all means, protest, rally etc. but, don't put lives in danger. They may not care, but their actions could have seriously harmed/hurted many people.

Fuck these idiot.

Right now I'm in Brazil. The thing I love about this country is pedestrians don't prance around with this "psh I got the right of way he can slow down for me." Uhhh you will be a squashed pancake roadkill here very quickly with that way of thinking because it's the exact opposite here. And I love it. And I'm not even driving, I'm a pedestrian and I'm saying that is the way it should be. If only we did this in the US this wouldn't have even been an issue. Why interrupt the lives of millions because of a few idiots?

I lived in that area and it's about the worst place they could use as an example. I wouldn't send them to jail, but I suspect there are $$$$$$$ in fines to be had plus community service. Picking up roadside garbage in winter will cause them to reconsider their stupidity.

I wasn't going to believe that black lives matter, but congesting traffic has changed all that.

Police should have just calmly moved them onto the shoulder, out of the way of everyone and let them sit there until they had to beg emergency workers for help to get free. "Sorry ma'am, we can't reach you for several hours as protesters have blocked traffic."

i think the way they are designed...an accidental tip could seriously injur the protestor. Its less liability to cut them out on the spot.

Why worry about injuries to idiots who chained their arms together in a barrel, then poured concrete in filling the barrel, let it harden and had themselves dropped off on a highway blocking all traffic?

Stupid actions have serious consequences.

Morons lives don't matter.

Where's Captain Ahab when you need him?




I'd pay to watch a bunch of angry honey badgers set loose upon them. Handcuffed arms inside concrete filled barrels? They should be shot on sight. Or lit on fire. Their mere existence pollutes the gene pool and drops Humanity's collective IQ.

This. Oh please, this. A couple days stewing in their own feces might help curb their sense of entitlement and self-importance.

I gotta think this one over more carefully. I could cement myself in a barrel, grab a sign that says "the Green Bay Packers matter" and have myself deposited on I-94. Instant worldwide fame for myself. My face plastered all over the internet, on youtube, etc.... Very tempting I must say. The only caveats is that it could have a deletrious impact on my career and I am unsure of how to parlay the fame into quick cash.

On a somewhat related note, I have had a brush with an internet viral video. I was coming home from Best Buy on a very busy 4 lane street. I had my camera with me. It was a Saturday morning in December. The street runs beside an exclusive Jewish golf course with high chained link fence beside it. Sitting against the fence in broad daylight with his pants down was a homeless man taking a shit into the golf course. It did not occur to me that I could have recorded that event for youtube profit until days later. I briefly considered "recreating" the event myself but I think the consequences could possibly outweigh any income generated by the viral video.

Fat people are better at blocking roads than thin people.
That said, blocking the highway inconveniences everybody, not just the ones who are perpetrating the crimes.

I am looking for investors in this scheme. Are you in? There is a $10,000 buy-in fee. I will accept money orders. How does WereHolePossum Enterprises bite ya? Since it is my idea, I of course am the president. You would be second in command. Since you are the underling, you will have to do the sitting on the freeway in a barrel of cement easy work. I will handle all the managment hard work.

This is true, although all that padding also protects valuable chrome from sharp bones.

Nah, I'm more of a big picture kinda guy than a do stuff outside kind guy. Not to mention that if I spent $10,000 I wouldn't have to put myself in a barrel of concrete, my wife would have handled that for me.
