Good point. They should definitely do that!

One of the consequences of turning blind eyes to what's happening in this country.

If you were to slow down for protesters and they tried opening your windows or breaking windows, this would be akin to road rage charges.

Most road rage charges do not end well for those that get out of cars and cause damage.

In the last twenty or thirty years American mindset has changed. At one time we told pedestrians that they were responsible for their own safety. After all; they usually loose the battle against moving vehicles. Today, if a pedestrian is even coming close to a crosswalk; they want motorist to stop - the pedestrian always has the right-of-way.

I have one little town close to me that has 'stop for pedestrian' signs all over the place. Many times, while driving through this town; I have pedestrians that don't even look to see if cars are coming and simply walk across the road in front of us. I am not saying that motorist should treat real life like a video game and try to 'score' points. But I do think that pedestrians should be proactive in their own safety; especially since they always loose to the vehicles. I just feel that we have moved away from personal responsibility. I am still waiting for our justice department to charge protestors, that block any highway that leads to a fatality; with accessory to murder or one of the lessor charges.

By all means, don't get out.

Just jam on the gas.

So ... when you demonstrate ... do you have to wear a sign that identify s you as a Democrat so people can tell if you are legal game or not?

Tennessee Bill Gives People Who Run over Protesters Blocking Traffic Immunity

Snowflakes that are unemployed and living in moms basement can no longer mindlessly block roads, delaying law abiding, job traveling Americans.

Good. They don't belong in the middle of the roads anyway.

Other than the Tea Partiers -- who don't block roads and sidewalks -- I've never seen a Republican demonstration.

Memphis is full of them.
