So ridiculous! Protest on the side of the road. Don't prevent people from getting to work or wherever they have to be.

Bosman “wasn’t under any real threat” says a Chicago police officer. “She came in thinking she was Steven Spielberg or something shooting a movie” demanding all kinds of protections says a law enforcement source with knowledge of the Chicago police.
Someone should publish her home address. Just to keep it fair.

From what I could see of the protesters, there wasn't much chance of getting shot or hammered to death for being somewhat aggressive in getting by them.

Just giving general advice about what a protest is actually for and how to conduct one effectively.....or not as in the case of the people blocking the roads. The actual topic of the protest is entirely moot to my comments...it could be a protest about bringing out the McRib sandwich year round.

They sell bear grade pepper spray at Cabela's and most sporting goods stores. I've seen videos of store owners using it on would be robbers and it shoots a big stream of pepper spray. Using it on those knuckle draggers blocking traffic would certainly be justifiable. I know I'd never convict anybody who did that if I was on a jury.
Running them down might seem tempting but you'd risk damaging your car.

One of these days, somebody is going to do that and wind up charged as an accessory to murder as well as the complete and total loss of every dime they have to civil suit.

Looks like Browns step-dad might be heading to jail for inciting the riots after the verdict. Has him on full video urging protesters to burn the **** up....and then they did. The Brown family lawyer is in full damage control noting the mothers calls for peace and admitting those things shouldn't have been said....I'm guessing the step dad is quietly pooping his pants now that he's calmed down and facing possible jail time....they might be conciliatory and not charge him if he publically apologizes etc.

They didn't just stand on the road. They drove there together and used their vehicles to block the highway. The police should have arrested all of them and impounded their vehicles.

Remember that when you're dying in the back of an ambulance, and a bunch of Lo-Fo's have brought traffic to a halt. Every second counts, but hey, the Lo-Fo's have a right to protest, right?

Maybe these protestors need to heed Obama's brilliant foreign policy: "Don't do stupid s**t".
