    You would not say that if it was your child stuck in that ambulance. When will the sheep wake up?

    Would you blame traffic that delay an ambulance? Would you blame road work that delay an ambulance? No, because although they have an impact, there was no ill will or intended harm to your family. Likewise, the protesters did not have ill will or intend to harm the child.

    Protesters intend to disrupt things. If this was not their intent, they could protest at city hall or in a park.

    By your reasoning, people that run over protesters to get to the hospital do not mean them harm...but when in Rome....

    Of course. I didn't said they didn't. But they do not intent to harm a child.

    They probably do care. But they have a cause to go after. That what protesters do.

    Only in a black and white 2D world. If that's your world, cool.

    Wow. You just said they do care, but they have a cause..so they don't care. You can have a participation trophy if it makes you fell better.

    People would absolutely blame traffic but it's not something that can be controlled. When it comes to road work, they'd be angry about it, but it's something that simply has to happen so again, it can't be controlled. Morons stopping traffic because they didn't get their way on the other hand is entirely pointless and shouldn't exist in the first place.....so yeah, plenty of reason to be angry at them.

    The cause of being upset they didn't get their way.

    You can't care and also have a cause? Nature did not prevent someone from protesting something and caring for something at the same time. It's call the unbelievable complex mind that we all have. Stop simplifying it to a point because you like to view protesters as bad and nothing more than that.

    What's wrong with being upset about a Trump president? Are you not upset about that? You were one of the few that hated his gut.

    Nothing is wrong with being upset about it. That said EVERYTHING is wrong about throwing a public temper tantrum about it though. Hell I was upset about the fact that Trump won.....so I got really drunk the night of the election. Woke up with a hangover from hell and had to re-check the results to make sure they actually happened.

    I mean, there's nothing to protest. There was no injustice, it was just an outcome of an election that by all accounts was a fair one. That's no reason to block traffic and show your ass (literally or metaphorically)

    It really is this simple. If the protesters cared about innocent people that may be in harms way, they would quit clogging up traffic. It is simple. To try to justify the manner in which they are fighting for their cause is really sickening. Any why...because they didn't get their way? Here's a news flash....the world does not revolve around what they want, no matter how much they protest, but it is their first amendment right, so have at it.

    Protesting is a core part of our democracy. You call it whatever, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't have it's value.

    Protesting is fine to me and it show what kind of nation we are when we allow voices to be heard. If it crosses over to violence or destruction of property, that's different. If not, go ahead, spend your energy to protest. I'm not protesting, but I'm not to speak loudly against it. If the election was the other way around and there are protests, I would have the same stance.

    Like I said, in a black and white 2D world. Next time you have a thought concerning whether we should bomb a country and live with the consequences of collateral damage, you are fine with me saying you don't care about the innocent? In my black and white 2D world, since you support bombing, you don't care that the innocence get killed. It's as simple as that.

    personally, I have no problems with the protesting,
    You sure just put a whole lot of words in my mouth that I have NEVER said or hinted at, so for that, you are an outright sack of **** liar.

    If only they were carrying guns, they would be doing a 2nd Amendment thing instead of a 1st Amendment thing, and we would all be happy.

    Now you are getting it.

    Glad you are seeing why your view that protester don't care about innocent is an outright sack of sh*t.
