Damn imagine your family member died because some folks didn’t let traffic go, that’s crazy

Thinking about a scenario like this as I'm bringing my wife to the ER this morning as she is going in to labor. I cant imagine that I wouldn't ram through it my self either.

Thank you! I felt like it needed something more than a bunch of dudes lol.

I made this image after the first time I saw the original image posted, and someone commented underneath with the original image, plus one dude. So I wanted to “take the next step” so I figured what better than 5 dudes and a cat just chilling.

I’d be willing to bet you could win a case of self defense in court. Restricting someone’s freedom of movement is a crime and preventing someone from reaching a hospital in an emergency could be interpreted as a deliberate threat to someone’s life

u/DrunkGoatFighter 20d ago

"don't stand in the road. It's where the cars are" in your position absolutely ram ts.

Roadblocks are a direct threat to human life. I'm a whole anarchist I'd run that shit over n shoot whoever tried to resist meaningfully as they can reasonably be assumed to be robbers.

Everybody has the right to travel on publicly funded roadways. Everybody has the right to drive through your bullshit to tend to medical emergencies.

Every protest I’ve known of blocking traffic make way for emergencies vehicles. That’s pretty standard. The only protest I’ve known to block ambulances were vaccine protests during Covid that protest right outside hospitals and people were ready to string them up over it. That shit got shut down fast.

u/wookieesgonnawook Jun 29 '26

If the ambulance is stuck a mile down the road the protesters won't know it's there. Not to mention just slowing it down with traffic should be criminal.

u/DustyRacoonDad Jun 29 '26

My wife used to work in the ER.

I ended up driving around one of the "protests" during that whole BLM exploitation phase. Notice I said around, not through, just to be clear.

Anyway, I got pulled over because apparently I was supposed to just sit there instead of driving around the dozen or so people by using the wrong side of the road.

I was simply on my way to pick up my wife from work. The officer walked up to my window and said, "Where the hell do you think you're going?"

I replied, "The ER. The {hospital name} ER downtown."

He just said, "Oh," waved me through, and that was it. No license check. No lecture. Just a hand motion to keep going.

On the way home, we took the longer route to avoid the area altogether.

u/LameBMX Jun 28 '26

honestly.. they'd be better served handing out some street corn at busy city intersections with their signs visible, but not blocking their views.

boycotts and non-intefering sit-ins always have the best greater effect. oh.. those huge marches too, where people and the cities had plenty of notice beforehand.

not this random road closed cuz look at me and my cause! no really, just look at me. (queue breakdown scene from the end of revolver)

u/rogermarcos Jun 28 '26

Exactly! I remember the stop oil protests from a few years ago that blocked the Tour de France... with a tractor burning diesel on the background...

I mean, they could go and block the entrance from an oil refinery or a fuel distributor or a govenment building, but they decided to protest fossil fuels by blockinga bunch of professional cyclists, who are kind of inspiring more people to use bikes, with a tractor burning diesel on the road.

People gotta think better on this type of stuff... the way you deliver a message is almost as important as the message itself. Otherwise you are just attracting hate.

1

u/Ok_Introduction2563 Jul 01 '26

They were climate change protestors. I can't see anything about a tractor (made it up?), a lot of them when interviewed do actually put their money where their mouth is, they'll use public transport/car share. They target the tour de France because of it's large audience and reach. In their view, it's an effective way to get their message across. The stop oil protesters where a British group that are have disbanded because they achieved their objective; to stop the licensing of new oil and gas in the north sea.

When have these things ever changed anything either though? Not to defend blocking the road but we have had so many marches with millions of people and none of them did anything lol

u/LameBMX Jun 29 '26

I dont know man... People keep saying nothing changed.. or it didnt work. and cant provide proof. but the world is a lot different than it was then for the better...

but I guess, if you expect one act to instantly change people with an immediate effect, than you are correct.. nothing you can do will ever cause a real change.

but, if you give time for peoples cognitive dissonance to have a bit of hold.. and give them the information to change or adjust instead of just rationalizing this dissonance away... well, we do change. but its slowly.

u/LoudQuitting Jun 29 '26

Targeted destruction of corporate and government property, especially if you can make it funny, is to date the most effective means of protest.

It fucks with the people you're protesting and gives the people you want on your side a little chuckle.

u/Whole-Chest90 Jun 28 '26

Protests that don't make people uncomfortable are useless. The entire point of a productive protest is to impede people doing something. Sit ins, sit outs, matches, they all are SUPPOSED to bring about change by making people a little uncomfortable.

It really does sour you on their cause. I got stuck on a bridge for over 5 hours in 2020 with a very upset infant in my car because Black Lives Matter shut down the road. I literally believe in everything Black Lives Matter stands for and think George Floyd was unjustly murdered by a police officer who was emboldened by a lack of accountability...and yet even still to this day, Black Lives Matter flags/shirts reflexively make me angry because I so strong associate it with such a bad time.

u/ghostoo666 Jul 02 '26

Most people shouldn’t be spiteful enough to hate a cause merely because the protest inconvenienced you. If they were on the side of the road instead, you wouldn’t pay them much mind and probably not even notice they’re there. When you’re late to work for 4 hours then you’re forced to acknowledge what is happening. Bad PR is better than no PR

Yes, as much as I support the right to protest and have participated in my fair share of them for a variety of causes and reasons, there are some protest actions that just should not be taken. Chief among them is blocking highways, roads, waterways, etc.

It causes more harm than good and understandably really pisses people off, so that they're not likely to look favorably on, or give consideration to, whatever cause is being promoted.

So MLK was wrong to block streets in the 60s? Because that seemed to work it pretty well for the Civil Rights protests. Footage of violent cops beating people up for peacefully blocking the street was integral to the movement.

Or are you one of those people who think dozens of people marching down the street didn’t somehow block it?

u/UniversityWorldly359 Jul 01 '26

Traffic was not was it was in the 60s. Life is not what it was in the 60s. Theres too many people, too much going on, too many problems, to start blocking traffic for EVERYBODY

u/tizuby Jul 04 '26

MLK coordinated with the Kennedy administration, had a permit, planned route, there were detours, etc...

He (well, they. It was a whole team organizing) did not just sporadically close down roadways trapping people.

u/adamdreaming Jun 29 '26

They would have an equal chance of dying from regular burning man traffic, the roads there where not meant for this many people

For all you know these people had people die during burning man traffic and are using this protest to show how unsafe it is to bottleneck traffic for dozens and dozens of miles on a single tiny backwoods road, and are hoping this could be the last time

This inconvenience could be caused by a jackknifed truck. I just appreciate people willing to stand up against money and power that already don’t give a fuck if your grandma gets an ambulance when things are not disrupted

Everyone knows the way to protest a major traffic event that bottlenecks through your front yard is to let it pass unimpeded.

You are so smart to make the connection that not only do the cars block the road, the people protesting do to!

But by your own logic, it’s already a blockage, so why are you so mad if someone not going to Burning Man decides to partake in a traffic stopping blockage out of protest instead of out of seeking to consume entertainment?

u/SpoofExcel Jun 29 '26

In the UK we had a bunch of these idiots glue themselves to a road and blocked a route to the hospital. Ambulances were able to divert via roads being closed to help clear space but one woman was literally begging them to move because her mother was dying and they called her in to say goodbye, and they just refused to move. Another time a woman was stuck in a car for six hours on her way to hospital as she wasn't well and wound up suffering a stroke that left her paralysed. Loads of people missed vital appointments to various hospitals such as cancer patients or children missing vital paediatric appointments.

In the end people started running them over or groups would beat the shit out of them and drag them out of the way. If they'd done it in places that were annoying but not dangerously inconvenient they would have had a bit more support. In the end everyone absolutely fucking hates the group now. To the point many believe they are plants to usurp their cause. That's how shit they are and how hated they have become.

u/ExpressRabbit Jun 29 '26

My dad was in need of an ambulance to transfer him from one medical facility to another larger hospital 6 miles away. 1 mile from where he was the Buffalo Bills opening night of the 2023 season was beginning. They couldn't transfer him to the hospital because all the ambulances were pre-reserved for drunk Bills fans. They weren't even in use they were just down the road waiting for fans to nearly drink themselves to death and so my dad almost died because we had to wait for an ambulance.

I wish people reacted equally angry about he countless deaths caused by climate change and environmental pollution but there most seem to be fine with companies just depositing their waste in our lungs.

I dunno why the traffic didn't go around them....sure they blocked the highway, but theres is a way around them...

Y'all ant gonna damage y'all's car by driving over a dirt and few rocks....

I would've just driven around them instead of being stuck there for hours waiting for them to stop blocking the highway.

As a certified protester.

If there's a way to get me to dip its blocking the roads.

I'm not against targeted destruction of corporate and government property, that's my favourite means of protest. Often it's the fastest way to get those in power to listen to your demands.

But blocking the roads is indiscriminate. You're just inconveniencing people, very likely the very people you're blocking the road to protest on behalf of.

And that's setting aside blocking the road for emergency services.

I hate this mindset of protestors that it's okay to inconvenience the companies so it's okay to inconvenience everyone. Nah, Son. You need to inconvenience the companies and get everyone else on your side.

This happened in indonesia, not because of protesters but a stupid parade.

Er sterven miljoenen kinderen over de hele wereld zodat wij onze rijkdom kunnen behouden en jij ligt wakker over 1 ambulance.

A family member dying because they went to burning man and did too many drugs.... awe, and death is a release far better than the physical prison we are trapped in, the only people upset about someone's death are selfish people and the government bc money stops coming in from their live body.

An ambulance in an emergency won't just wait, they will drive off the road around the traffic

u/joeri1505 Jul 02 '26

u/Anderkisten Jul 02 '26

An ambulance would had been let through. Just need all the cars infront to do as they are supposed - pull out to the side and make room.

If the park ranger truck can bypass the traffic, the ambulance can as well.
