WTF they charged the driver, he should have got a medal. Fucking idiots climbing all over his car. I would call it self defense.

its not surprising how retarded some humans are.

Uh, yes it is!

No shit. Those protesters are fucking stupid as hell.

Agreed. Get the fuck out of the road, idiots...the senior dude is my hero.

Darn. He should have been driving a hummer

No, A steamroller.

C'mon, there a bunch of kids. Even if you're against protests, its a (admittedly cumbersome) means of showing the will of the people, which is what America is about. Also, everyone saying 'self defense' is an idiot -- they only climbed on his car when he was already driving onto them, and were trying to stop him from doing further damage to anyone. PRIORITIES, DOLTS.

Their will versus his wheel. I think his wheel won.

Hilarious
How many times during riots does someone make the mistake of getting out of their car, then ends up getting beaten. Reginal Denny comes to mind.

I like the way you think, man.

more answers,
longer answers,
even more boring texts,
so even more interested people will read it,

You really are an oracle

congrats you are the king of the fools on this site! APPLAUDS

And you are king of the fools in regular day life. Now why don't you go and help yourself to another serving of man juice

Speed bumps work though. It slowed him down.

lol...think the old boy was just making sure her shoe came off..??

you are one very disturbed fellah. of all the numbers you can possibly think of, why d'ya have to use the number of the beast as yours? may God almighty still accept your soul in heaven.

DELETED

He thought he was driving a rally car.

Does the narator work for NT? He's in every fucking video clip!!! What are the chances of getting a forum/chat section going on Nothing Toxic?

There is a Forum- look for it

After 3 day's of not being able to post I can honestly say I missed that narrator.
.
.
maybe not

What?!? You don't love the Madden'esk narrator? And the total abuse of cliches? My personal favorite is the fake screaming they add in, for a touch of reality.

I'm with the old dude on this one. "Eh, walk it off."

These idiots blocking people from going to work, maybe even holding up emergency vehicles trying to save someone's life. These assholes got what they needed.

Good for the driver he have all the athoerthy to kill the dickheads

How can you hug a tree with broken arms?

Pity he wasn't driving an 18-wheeler fully loaded.

I'm sorry but seeing her tumble slowly underneath the car was some really funny shit!! Stupid ass kids, like stopping traffic will stop (insert cause).

I see there isnt a lot of support for the protesters here, personally i woulda kicked the old guys head in. what was his rush, seniors yoga cant be that important.

Narrarator said the driver was charged with "attempted homicide"?? Someone needs to research the law there. There is much more to attempted homicide than that, I seriously doubt his intent was to go out and kill someone. If he was actually charged with that, they probably knew it was too much to ever actually get a conviction on.
To the ran over girl; "when you lay down with dogs, you will wake up with fleas"

willfully running someone over with a car (deadly weapon) is the definition of attempted homicide
@ vid- this guy must REALLY like his job - he'll kill to get there on time

Can you prove beyond reasonable doubt his intent was to kill her, or to get the hell out of there, and push their dumbasses oput of the way? There IS a difference. I am sure he didn't simply plan to go kill a girl. (and did she die?)
Also, a car is not necessaraly a "deadly weapon" ...if you are caught with a car, you can't be charged with possession of a deadly weapon. Before you blindly state something as fact, you should do some research first.

Also, a car is not necessaraly a "deadly weapon" ...if you are caught with a car, you can't be charged with possession of a deadly weapon. Before you blindly state something as fact, you should do some research first.
And I see you've done none. Many things may be classified as deadly weapons if wielded in an aggressive manner, such as the Jena 6 case where a shoe (!) was considered a deadly weapon. According to your logic, they couldn't have been charged in such a manner, since to do that would make it illegal to wear those nifty jackboots you just bought.
And the defense of those cops in the Sean Bell case hinged on the victim's use of his car as A DEADLY WEAPON. But of course that's totally different, right?
Also, 'bosshonkey,' if you can't tell the difference between a protest of the Gandhi and Robespierre varieties, than please keep your idiotic opinions about self-defense on lockdown. Moron.

Absolutely different. You merely classified the car as a "deadly weapon", thus my response.
Also, could you prove beyond any reasonable doubt that his intent was to kill? I think not.
You said "willfully running over someone with a car (deadly weapon) is the definition of attempted homicide." ...Strange, I can't find that definition of attempted homicide anywhere, where do you get this info from??

Absolutely different. You merely classified the car as a "deadly weapon", thus my response.
No, he classified a car as a deadly weapon in the context of running someone over.. Which is the situation. At hand. And sorry, while the driver may not have had intent to run over her initially, the time elapsed between when she first went under his car, was dragged 20 feet, and came out the other end, removes any 'reasonable doubt.' If this had happened on a highway, where he didn't have time to turn or stop, that's one thing. However, he committed a deliberate act (slowly rolling up onto the victim) followed by a prolonged period using a device which, under those circumstances, can be considered a 'deadly weapon.' While he straddles the line between manslaughter and homicide, the victim's age and the pernicious nature of the action makes it realistic to charge him with the latter, more serious crime. All this parsing isn't really helping your argument.

What else do you expect when you are sitting in the road?

hahahah! that would be really nice, better than getting hit by a car.

I would have done the same thing . That girl had the option to move or get ran over and she chose to get ran over. Notice how everyone else got out of the way. Hero of the cause....idiot of the day.

Do the words "Tiananmen" and "Square" mean anything to ya?
And 'vongreim's' pitiful abasement to cutthroat capitalism is both unsettling and gratifying. Oh noes, he might lose a sale! JESUS FUCKING WEPT!! Meanwhile, between the bloated defense budget and endless funding supplementals, this idiot doesn't realize that floating the bill for this war is one of the reasons he has to chase that dollar so relentlessly. Forest for the motherfucking trees, this one.

No, actually, they mean pretty much nothing to me because I was too young to really remember anything from it. I have seen references to the lone man standing up against a tank but I have no clue what it was actually about. I wasn't refering to the issue that they were protesting on, only the fact that she chose not to move out of the way when 30 other people did. And I see the resemblance between Teineman Square there but sitting in the middle of the road doesn't make you a hero and it doesn't change anything. You draw attention to yourself but no real change is made. Using legal actions, getting a job in politics, etc. would be a much better way of ensuring change than sitting on the street. One of the people they were stopping in those cars could have been an activist on his way to deliver a proposition that would change things in favor of the protestors, you never know. Protesting like that is ignorant. Protesting in front of the whitehouse is different but blocking the street is just foolish.

So I should assume the idea of collective action is meaningless in your worldview, right? All citizens are given the right to 'speak truth to power,' even if its their own truth, by any non-violent means. These folks, being of little power singly, and lacking other means to affect the political process, work in a collective fashion. Fucking Christ, it's bloody Black History Month, yet the idea of disenfranchised citizens working against the establishment is such an alien concept to you folks? It's a perfect storm of ignorance-fueled irony in here today.
Though I love your trite 'run for political office' solution -- so loud, public dissent against government officials WE HIRED is beyond the pale? If shareholders were told they have no voice in companies they've invested in, but were rather told they had to run for the Board of Directors to exercise their rights, the howls of the market would rock the Earth from its axis...why is it different when it comes to gov't?

That comment is far too insightful for this medium sir, may I suggest the World News forum or C-Span's hotline. You see, we are a community of dick and fart jokes corrolating to the smashed heads, battered women, and stupid stunts. While I do appreciate the value that you put in the freedom of speech and the corruption of the "powers that be" I would much rather wallow in my ignorance than to admit that these type of protests are essential to change. Given the chance I wouldn't have ran over her obviously (even though I am sure that was not his intention) but I would have dragged them out of the way of my vehicle. Anyway, cheers to you for keeping up the good fight and not being a tool like me.

Fuck it, your argument had a lot of merit -- I'm not much of a protest fan, but it does have some upside. While I tend to think the advantages (Civil Rights, unionization, the MOTHERFUCKING REVOLUTION) outweigh the disadvantages (work stoppages, lost productivity, occasional bouts of insanity) by a mile. If not for the brutal indifference of this car-driving douche, if he had merely bumped his way through rather than slowly plowing a half-ton vehicle over a teenager, I might not be so ready to take the protesters' side.
Oh yeah, dick joke.

Nobody got that stuff by blocking traffic.

They were right to target drivers, though.
I mean, motorists are complicit in the Lizard King Bush's Zionist conspiracy to seize Iraqi oil.
It's the influx of millions of barrels of this stolen oil that has led to... erm, sky-high oil prices... and... erm...
Anyway. He's a lizard.
He really is.

It is sad that anyone would give this comment a negative as when I found it. Apparently, they lack the basic mental ability to understand satire. Thus, accordingly they should be put to death by a means of your choosing, which I am sure would be both amusing and incredibly ironic. Just make sure it is on NT within a week, labeled “warning.”

They can protest all they like. But how do they think they're gonna win the peoples sympathy and support by ruining their day? People are easily pissed off when they're in their cars. It's a widely known phenomenon called 'road rage'. So these idiot protesters got what was coming whether it was right or wrong. It was just plain irresponsible to fuck with angry people in cars. An accident like this was almost inevitable.

Another angle of what transpired that day is that it hi-lights the argument that people should be retested at sixty to check their fit to be in charge of a potentially lethal weapon, such as a car.

What fucking kind of video is it for fux sake???
eh..?
She didnt even make it worth our while to watch It ,I mean she could of at least tried to explode under the weight of the car! Just like my Hero
The Biker did, Who was totally bodyminced
after him becoming a human speed hump Vs BIG HEAVY MFUKKING TRUCK

Stupid students. Just wait until they're working 60 hours a week to provide for their family, they are on their last warning at work, they are late because they had to take their kid to the hospitat because they swallowed your wallet, then you find a bunch of spoiled lay-about students sitting in the road blocking your way to work. I would have accellerated, not breaked. Fair play to the driver. He deserves a fucking medal. Those students should all be arrested and charged with breaking the peace.

Yes, that free speech is quite a pesky burr in the side of our well-oiled economy, isn't it? If we could just get rid of protesters, all those problems you dreamed up to justify this man's atrocious behavior would just disappear, right? Last time I checked, freedom of expression was an inalienable right, while driving is only a privilege.

You Bloody Idiot. Free speech is SPEECH. TALKING, VERBALISING, SHOUTING, YELLING. Not sitting in the middle of a public street. Sitting on the side-walk is ok, because the side walk is for PEOPLE. Sitting in the road is NOT acceptable because the road is for CARS. Those students were not doing thier anti-war protest much good by blocking cars. If I put wheel-clamps on every car in your town/city as a protest against the war would you think that that is acceptable? NO YOU FUCKING WOULDN'T. These students are just pissing people off.
Once again I reitterate my original sentiments: I would have accellerated, not braked.

Holy fuck, are you kidding me!? Here's Justice Brandeis, in Whitney v. California, explaining why you don't know what you're talking about (emphasis added):
"They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. They believed that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth; that without free speech and assembly discussion would be futile; that with them, discussion affords ordinarily adequate protection against the dissemination of noxious doctrine; that the greatest menace to freedom is an inert people; that public discussion is a political duty;"
And here's the goddamn Bill of Rights, showing why you really need to clam the fuck up (emphasis, again, added):
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Seriously, do you have a point validated by, y'know, facts? Unless that hole you're digging is that comfy...

In addition, the wheel-clamps analogy is absurd, since that would involve tampering with private property. And if your 'sidewalks=people, roads=cars' claim were true, get back to me after you fail to yield to a pedestrian. Hell, if someone is attempting to jay-walk, and you don't let them, its still an infraction! Why? Because walking falls under the jurisdiction of Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State."
However, gov't may place strictures upon the means of transportation, i.e. requiring a license, following driving laws, etc.
So walking (or the lack thereof, within public parameters) is a human right, which supersedes driving, which is only a state-sanctioned PRIVILEGE. The elevation of this man's driving privilege over their human rights of movement and freedom of assembly is not up to him to decide.
GOT IT NOW?

"Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State."
Sitting in the middle of a public street is not moving nor is it residing. By sitting down and blocking traffic, these protesters are preventing other people from moving. Your own message seems to back up my sentiment. These protesters were in the wrong. I don't care about what they were trying to do or say. They went about things in an entirely wrong manner.
I have a job with a global company. If I was held up due to a bunch of idiots sitting in the road I would be pissed off. I would warn them that I was going to drive on, then I would have driven on. I don't have time to go trawling through past court cases looking for a quote that I think will back me up, so here is a quote from a recent internet discussion:
Everyone on nothingtoxic vs ShockCaller
You are wrong. Noone agrees with you. Your opinions are stupid and make you look like a total pussy. However they ARE argued well, so i'll admit that you are a worthy advisary. But you aren't going to change my opinion on this matter.

Thanks for the backhanded hat tip in your forums...? Really, I couldn't care less.
You have the 'right' to drive onto those citizens who are blocking you from going to work. Likewise, you have the 'right' to surrender to the authorities when you are charged with the felony you would rightly deserve. What you don't seem to understand is that there is no absolute right -- rather, there are graduations of rights. Your right to gainful employment is not absolute, and barring a police officer exercising his legally binding judgment, your rights do not trump theirs. If everyone had 'gone about their business, nothing to see here' in the past, there'd be a lot more tyranny in this world. Also, if you happen to be enjoying that forty-hour work at that 'global company' you work for, know that the valuable overtime pay you receive is due to throngs of workers doing exactly what these kids were doing. Its so easy to enjoy the fruits of protest in hindsight, without understanding the necessity of the protest itself. Calling kids standing up for their beliefs 'selfish' is shameful behavior.

They are "standing up for their beliefs"? Most of the students near where I live were going to anti-war protests just to get out of classes.
Standing up for your beliefs should be a peaceful process. Blocking people led to anger which led to the scenes we saw in the video. No sitting in street = no running over. I am not against their rights to protest. I myself attended anti-war marches. They were planned out and properly policed. They did not lead to any problems and were recieved with good grace by the authorities. They didn't do a fucking thing to change anything, but I was happy to have voiced my opinions.
Why didn't these kids just protest outside their local congressman's home?
Sitting in the road was a stupid idea. The people sitting caused these problems. Protests can be a good thing, but not in a way that fucks up other people's lives.

And like I said, those workers filled the streets to get labor laws passed. What you don't seem to get is that a rally can be 'peaceful' and 'disruptive' at the same time. Both Gandhi and MLK were nonviolent, yet noone would say their actions weren't disruptive. Are you saying that a heretofore peaceful event, when violence is instigated by counter-protesters, is to be considered violent? I suppose when Rosa Parks wouldn't move to the back of the bus, and ALL those good white passengers were delayed, that it made her actions 'violent?' And that if someone had dragged her off and dragged her under the bus, that it would have been justified? That's absurd on its face.

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. Rosa Parks should have been run over. Dumbass!
If you sit in the road you risk being run over. In the same way that if you walk on the tracks you risk being hit by a train. Or by kicking a bear in the bollocks you risk being mauled.

I thought the guy in the car expressed himself just fine!
Freedom of speech is wonderful, I would have expressed myself further when the mob of idiots came after me, backing over the lot of em. Twice if they didn't hear me the first time!

i would have done the same fucking thing...for real...GET OUT OF MY WAY BEFORE I RUN OVER YOUR BALLS BITCH

How is pissing people off going to generate peace?I hate when assholes walk in the street, I cant imagine them sitting in the street blocking my path.What , they dont like the abuse the asphault takes under vehicles tires, so they fling them selves on the ground to protect the defenseless asphault from the vehicles? WTF????

self defense

if youre in the fucking road you need to get hit...i think i remember my parents telling me that. Anyway, whats been going on fellows. havent been here in a while. But having a great time in WWyoming...lots of booze, smoke, and the women are unbelievable...hope to hear from some of you in my shoutbox....peace

Welcome back sir. Have a on me.

wish all the other drivers thought 'fuck it' when they saw the old man lead by example and all did the same..get rid of those assholes.

Shame there wasn’t a few more serious injury’s, then they could wait in pain for the ambulance, which would take a while, seeing the roads where blocked up 4the driver

He must be related to the old lady in the electric wheel chair.

They should be thankful he only picked one lucky person to run the fuck over

for a second i trough it was in france this is an old french car and the reaction of the driver is typically french run over students without discution maybe it's a tourist....

wtf? even if i dont know the person that got run over at all i would disfigure that old bastards face. Had that happened where i live he would have been lynched in a second.

How about supporting she move the FUCK out of the way?

What the FUCK 92% of the comments say they deserve to get run over, and I have two thumbs down?

Glad to see you still around, uYeah.

Hey Zyk! Hangin' in there man.

I totally agree with the description of this video - what good are they going to by holding up traffic? I would have fully supported police brutality in this video. Or a semi at 90 mph taking all of them out

agreed

Where's one of the world's strongest man competitors when you need one?

Couldn't you have pulled forward a couple inches, waited a bit, forward a couple inches, waited, etc... Theres no fucking way anyones gonna sit there and let ther leg/arm/whatever be slowly crushed. It would take awhile but I think you could nudge your way through.

very true B.A very true i wouldn't have completely stoped at all just a 1mph death roll move it or lose it

that's just how they roll.

That girl looked really, really tired. No pun intended

they shold of dragged the man out of his car and kikd seven shades o shit out of him

What country is this?

being a protesting hippie never pays off....never

After sitting there waitin I bet a lot of the car drivers had to go fill up on war-torn-country-gas.
Shouldnt they charge the students with attempted suicide?
That kinda pissed me of. They called the guy a coward, he's probly trying to get to work and support his countries economy. Someone should inform these idiots the best way to start a war is to ruin a countries economy. Somebody buy that patriot a hummer. (and an H2)

What the hell are you talking about? The majority of wars are started by overwhelmingly strong countries, both militarily and economically. Countries with very poor economies may succumb to an internal coup, or be attacked by one of those stronger countries, but its a rare day that a poor country does anything other than abuse its own people or a weaker neighbor.

too bad he didn't take more with him. Get a life protesters. no one wants to support you when you piss them off.

I love how the narrator says "and then the unthinkable happens." Really? You sit in front of rush hour traffic and get run over? NO WAY!! Who would have guessed?

His viagra must of been wearing off. "Must...get... home... to wife...before erection disappears!"

All the protesters fault.. all protesting does is piss people off.. it solves nothing! damn hippies!

That old man just needed a good defense team. he's old, scared, possibly had chest pains and needed to rush to the hospital.... possibly saw what he thought was a gun being pointed at him....possibly feeling the effects of a minor stroke that could have made his right leg go numb making it impossible to control the speed of his vehicle...

Testing

Failed. Hi slammy!

Hey Zyk. Goddamit, the site is STILL spazzing out on me. Can't see half the videos, one hour I can post a comment, the next hour I can't, and when I go to the forums, I'm still on the old server....I'm in limbo....

Have you tried the following:
[1] Drink 4 cups of coffee with extra sugar.
[2] Wait 20 minutes.
[3] When it gets dark, dance with your buddies in a circle with one finger at the peak of your scalp like a top until you get dizzy and you each fall over.
[4] Log in again.

Worked for me, at least! LOL
I was having "spaz" website issues until yesterday, I guess, comments for me take a minute to show though.

It worked for me but I did puke a couple of times.

I got a hard on

Wow, now that is truly fucked up.

get in my way i'll run them over too

how the fuck do you rally for peace by disturbing others? its contradictive,bunch of stupid fucks,attention whores fuck them.

Fucking hippies oughta know it illegal to loiter and bitch at the same time. Sure they bitch about Global warming but theyll drive gas guzzlers those dumbass hypocrites.Plus timma, why the Fuk did you take my avi you little cunt?

greasy, roman wrestling, buncha hairy butt diggin faggot "my letters ARE my numbers" eat shit and hang yourelf with your toga

So, if we notice a guy called 'FFF' we should start stockpiling canned food?

I agree with sixsixsix as above, just wish i could have said it first!

Damn-whats that "thump-thump" noise under my car??
Protestin little bitches are a pain in the ass - BUT - i hope the kid's ok - after all, she is somebodies little girl - even if she IS a protestin lil'bitch

To hell with those hippies. I have to go to work so I can pay my bills and no hacky sack douche bag is going to sit in my way. I would of gotten out and kicked them in the face before I ran over them. I'm all for protest but not when it impedes innocent bystanders trying to make a living.

Haha, good on him... fucking cunts

Ironic isnt it, violence occurring in an effort to stop violence?!

Uhhh, it would only be ironic if THEY committed the violence...even if the man hated the war, his blatant disregard for others leaves that doubtful

the old guy must not miss oprah winfrey

i agree with the old man for doing that. those ppl shouldnt have been sat in the middle of the bloody road in the 1st place. what the hell did they expect??

in revenge,
students should go run over old age pensioners that go stand in line for free stuff, for example

How did the old man think he was going to get away? he left his license plate number imprinted on her forehead! Stupid kids

Fucking Awesome. Nice driving dude.

all hippies should die!!!!

The fucking hippie bitch got what she deserved... Go take a bath whore

Shit, rush hour is hell itself.Those shit for brain High schoolers wouldn't know how annoying rush hour is. Fucking retards.

If our countries hadn't gone to war against Hitler and co, the only protesting they would have been doing is from inside an oven

Dude, the majority opinion in the U.S. regarding WWII was demonstrably dovish, at least until Pearl Harbor. Trying to equate a war, facing little to no protest, and against an existential threat to America, with useless and stupid wars such as Vietnam and Iraq, from which disilluisionment is now the majority opinion, does nothing but diminish the former and embarass the latter two. Like I said, NOT ALL WARS ARE EQUAL.

KILL THIS VOICE-OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!111

That's my dad! :D

for the next protest, they'll think twice about sitting infront of traffic..

sitting infront of traffic has been scientifically proven not to stop imperialism

Lame

shoot the asshole in the car in the head and end his pathetic life.

well, becuase they caused gridlock, how the hell the ambulance gonna get through??

humans as speed bumps...terrible for the shocks on the car

That'll teach em to sit in the street

that sure isn't in the US....we dont protest here any more

while i dont think anyone deserved that!! i do think a outright pummeling for most of them would have sufficed. WHY in gods name would you cause problems for others...with lives, to help solve another problem? sitting in traffic...its surprising to think that they hadn't expected someone to get angry at attack them somehow...

They deserved it. Fucking spoiled ass college cunts never worked a day in their lives and have no idea what their freedom costs. Instead of running the little pissants over, take em to the recruiting stations, shave their heads high and tight and sign them up for 2 years of service in the worst beast barracks the US armed forces have to offer.

Yeah, we can clearly see the driver had no right at all to run the people over. They pile on top of his car, and ILLEGALLY block the street for hours. What a horrible man... Get the guy from Halo to say Killing Spree and give him a Road Kill medal.

the protestors had a simple strategy......
'stop the traffic-=-stop the war'
....lol.......war continues.

Mmmm... If war stops or not, if the driver was angry with justice, if demonstration is a right or an useless scream , whatever, I think the main fact was that a man hurted with an arm (the car) a girl and that is terrible.
That man deserves several years in prison, at least. A person who can´t get control of himself not deserves to go out in the street, he is a dangerous for society.

About my previous posting, perhaps better than 'arm' is 'weapon', sorry thats because english is not my native language. The video was made in a spanish speaking country, perhaps Spain... perhaps the demonstration have relation when Spain with the USA and England went to the war to invade Iraq... but well, this is just speculations...
*****
And repeat " That man deserves several years in prison, at least. A person who can´t get control of himself not deserves to go out in the street, he is a danger for society."

Man I wish I could do that... I hope the old dude didn;t get into any serious trouble... fuck those assholes for messing up everyone else's life

i like what the old man did, this peacers got to understand that we do not have the time for liberal cuases, liberals like hilary and obama can kiss my ass.. so give me thombs down i do not care , at least you so my comment ..

I dont think this happened in the US but if it had all of you people saying they deserved it are also people who had start crying and and wringing your hands eveytime gun control is brought up.
I bring gun contol up because a constitutional right as is the right to free speech. Gun Control will never be much more successful than it has been to this point. Free Speech is truly threatened in this country, mostly due to people like most of you folk who are to ignorant to realize that college students are often some of the only people who use free speech intelligentally.

Hehe... human speed bumps.

Fuck those cock suckers. They all should have been run over! You want to protest a war, so sit in the fucking street? Good for the cunt who got hit. Normally I'm against women getting assaulted, but shit like this annoys me. And WTF is with calling the driver a coward? He had balls to do what he did.

I spent 5 years in the Army as a Paratrooper and was in the first Desert Storm protecting this great country. I love the comments about those war protesters, someone who has never been there like these cowards who protest a war they only see and read about makes me sick. If you have never walk a mile in a soldiers boots you don't deserve to protest nothing. This great country was made from those great Heros over there. You cowards who sit in your house and say you hate the war, but support the troops can ----- off. I can't stand a coward and when I was in neither could and of the guys I patroled with. War=Peace. AIRBORNE.......

I spent 5 years in the Army as a Paratrooper and was in the first Desert Storm protecting this great country. I love the comments about those war protesters, someone who has never been there like these cowards who protest a war they only see and read about makes me sick.
Would you say the same about folks who blithely support the war in nothing but spirit? I'm sure there's many an over-deployed grunt who would love some of those folks who wrap themselves in yellow ribbons, to actually pick up a shift or two. Please.
If you have never walk a mile in a soldiers boots you don't deserve to protest nothing. This great country was made from those great Heros over there.
No, this country was sometimes defended by heroes over there. This country was made by oft-reticent civilians a fuckton of debate. Not all wars are equal, chum.
You cowards who sit in your house and say you hate the war, but support the troops can ----- off.
And I'd bet you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone above colonel lacking the intelligence or nuance to see how fallacious and un-American that argument truly is.
I can't stand a coward and when I was in neither could and of the guys I patroled with. War=Peace. AIRBORNE.......
Seriously, move on -- its not 1991 anymore. When maintaining an erection still requires you to play dress-up and have your wife wear a hijab in bed, its time for some introspection.

I hope the driver got to meet Bubba for that, Bubba will teach him some things.

Hey great idea guys...next time lets sit in front of the train tracks to protest how dumb we are!....Ok! Hells yeah!

Now THAT's a vid I'd pay to see!

I'd have much less sympathy for these protesters if they tried that with a train, simply because transit is a public good. However, driving is a PRIVILEGE, and the overarching rule of driving is YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS. The road itself is a public good, to be shared by all -- sorry, but drivers don't take precedence. As it is, do you really think police in a busy city like that wouldn't have arrived if the protest was deemed unlawful? It's not as if traffic was blocked in all directions, so patrol cars could have arrived. So either it was lawful, in which case the driver was wrong -- or it was not yet deemed unlawful, which means the driver is an impatient sot with little respect for police procedure. Sorry fanboys, but there's simply no defense for his behavior.

"I'd have much less sympathy for these protesters if they tried that with a train, simply because transit is a public good."

Maybe some days someone will introduce you to that miracle of public transit known as a "bus". You'll be delighted to discover it's a public conveyance (and as such a public good) that uses the... road. Checking the footage several buses were also being blocked.
-
[]i"However, driving is a PRIVILEGE, and the overarching rule of driving is YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS."[/i]

However, these are not "pedestrians". Maybe that sort of sophistry works in the usual venues you like to troll for arguments in, but you're going to have to do much better around here. Pedestrians cross the road, not purposefully obstruct it. Crossing the road is done at the appropriate times (when the crossing lights are green), in the appropriate places (at the cross walks). Cities install sidewalks precisely so pedestrians don't share the road with vehicles.
-
Being a pedestrian isn't a crime, jaywalking is. Causing a public nuisance is, as is disorderly conduct.
-
" The road itself is a public good, to be shared by all"

The road itself is a public good to be used [/i] in a responsible manner[/i] by all, not blocked for political purposes. Your right to use the road ends when you deprive others of the ability to use it as well.
-
"As it is, do you really think police in a busy city like that wouldn't have arrived if the protest was deemed unlawful?"
-
Police are notoriously laggard in responding to calls in big cities especially when traffic is tied up. Simply because the police hadn't shown up yet, doesn't mean they wouldn't have eventually (whenever eventually is).
-
" It's not as if traffic was blocked in all directions, so patrol cars could have arrived."
-
How the hell do you know that? Do you have a map showing where the protesters were, which roads were blocked, where traffic was backed up to, which secondary and tertiary routes were also affected? Do you have an aerial footage of the traffic grid supporting your claims? If you do, post it. If you don't, your claim fails.
-
"So either it was lawful, in which case the driver was wrong -- or it was not yet deemed unlawful, which means the driver is an impatient sot with little respect for police procedure.'
-
The theory of "police procedure" and its reality in a big city are two very different things you're deliberately choosing to confuse. It is that gap in service which these "protestors" are exploiting. In a perfect world, any time a crime was committed, the police would immediately appear in seconds. In a perfect world, the police would instantly materialize, demand to see any necessary permits needed according to law to hold a public assembly in the middle of the road. When the protestors failed to produce them, they would be arrested.
-
In the real world, people frequently call the police and they don't show at all or they do so hours later. Since traffic was blocked up, that delay in response time becomes even greater. As such, your criticism of the driver for being an "impatient sot" is the worst sort of sophistry. In the real world, obnoxious little pests in the road get run over when drivers have had enough.
-
-Given your relentless argument trolling on this thread on every single possible topic, it would be quite instructive to see your real-world behavior when some bunch of idiots are blocking the road out of spite. I don't mean idiots you happen to ideologically support, some other merry band which you do not.
-
I'm quite certain that philosophical facade you maintain online during your non-stop argument baiting would collapse into the clench-jawed, shrill fury that permeates your the majority of your replies.

Being such a student of the footage, you couldn't see that the students weren't blocking traffic in all directions? It was obvious they weren't, yet you disingenuously made that map snark later in the same post. Try harder.

Really? Try not yielding to a jaywalker when a cop is nearby, see how far that argument gets ya. Sorry, they still qualify as pedestrians in the eyes of the law, and therefore their use of the road is paramount, even if to the detriment of drivers or bike-riders. Also, do you have 'sophist' tattooed inside your eyelids? It's really quite a mediocre insult to be thrown around that ubiquitously.
The road itself is a public good to be used [/i] in a responsible manner[/i] by all, not blocked for political purposes. Your right to use the road ends when you deprive others of the ability to use it as well.
Yet police are so willing to cordon off roads in anticipation of marches in Washington, an eminently private practice used for political purposes. Really, the relatively low priority given to motorized vehicles on the road is something that seems to amaze you folks to no end.
How the hell do you know that? Do you have a map showing where the protesters were, which roads were blocked, where traffic was backed up to, which secondary and tertiary routes were also affected?

No, you're the one claiming that cops were unable to arrive on the scene, as if the whole of the city's traffic pattern was flummoxed by this small protest. I'd say the burden of evidence falls squarely on your shoulders, chum.
The theory of "police procedure" and its reality in a big city are two very different things you're deliberately choosing to confuse. It is that gap in service which these "protestors" are exploiting. In a perfect world, any time a crime was committed, the police would immediately appear in seconds.
The purported 'gap' seen is only in reference to singular incidents, such as a break-in. In the case of a massive backup during rush hour, there's simply no way cops don't arrive in a reasonable time frame. Seriously, that argument goes nowhere.
In a perfect world, the police would instantly materialize, demand to see any necessary permits needed according to law to hold a public assembly in the middle of the road. When the protestors failed to produce them, they would be arrested.
Yes, because only state-sanctioned protest should be tolerated by the populace. Hell, I'm no anarchist, but that sort of complacence shows a remarkable affection for the status quo.

There's that word again - and no, in GTA such scenarios play out. In the real world, folks who commit such actions are put in jail. Unless your particular burg bears a striking resemblance to Attica, that's sort of pathology isn't the norm.
Given your relentless argument trolling on this thread on every single possible topic, it would be quite instructive to see your real-world behavior when some bunch of idiots are blocking the road out of spite.

I'll give ya a hint -- it doesn't involve attempted homicide.
I'm quite certain that philosophical facade you maintain online during your non-stop argument baiting would collapse into the clench-jawed, shrill fury that permeates your the majority of your replies.
Quite the imagination...let's hope you manage to corral that penchant for projection to this venue. Also, which is it, 'philosophical facade' or 'shrill fury?' The two are kinda antipodes, y'know, so I'd really love to hear how that's supposed to make sense.

Stupid selfish cunts i wouldov done the same thing. Other people actualy have work to get to. What if someone was on a thin line of losing their job or was a doctor who needed to get to surgery. What if someone was trying to make an important appoinment or had to open a workplace so that people could get in. And what did they expect the people in the cars to do when nearly every fucking person wants peace? Fucking idiots these days...

i dont know why you would get down votes for this comment the ones that did it must be some of the protesters anyway 5 thumbs up for you

I would of ran that stupid bitch over too.

-That elderly driver fills my heart with a fierce joy at being American.
-We had this exact same crap some forty years ago when the parents of these miserable little twits were doing the same thing, protesting conflicts they knew nothing about and couldn't be bothered to understand. It was all just fun and games for them, just as it is for their children today. The leftist media hasn't changed a bit. Forty years ago, TV "voice overs" were calling Vietnam veterans "thugs" for punching hippies who spit on them. The driver is a "coward" because he got sick of this nonsense. If the info was correct, that sixty year old driver was a young man in his teens or twentys watching his country go to shit because of people like this once before.
-He's had forty years to think of what he SHOULD have done back then when hippies blocked the road with their bullshit "sit-ins".
-He's had forty years to wonder what MIGHT have been different if he'd done something about it back then.
-He's had forty years to think things over and this time he made the right choice.
-RUN THE LITTLE BASTARDS DOWN!
-WHEN THEY ATTACK YOUR CAR,
-GET OUT AND START SHOOTING THEM WHERE THEY STAND!
-
-This country's long overdue for an ideological cleansing and it's delightful to see a few people finally getting their blood up to start it.

That elderly driver fills my heart with a fierce joy at being American.
Then you're only an American in the sense that you support whichever name is given to the patch of land on which you squat. There's nothing American about using violence to overrun the marketplace of ideas. Although I'm sure you'll simply regard this central tenet upon which America was founded, and go on believing jingoism and nationalism are appropriate means to express patriotism. Do call it 'the Fatherland,' while you're at it, for completion's sake.

Yes, an unnecessary and draining war was foiled by popular dissent, rather than the other way around...why does that sound familiar...?
He's had forty years to think of what he SHOULD have done back then when hippies blocked the road with their bullshit "sit-ins".
-He's had forty years to wonder what MIGHT have been different if he'd done something about it back then.
Sounds like you're still living it, m'friend. I also suppose all those 'sit-ins' by those trouble-making Negroids in Selma was bullshit, as well. So predictable.
He's had forty years to think things over and this time he made the right choice.
So it was premediated, eh? Sounds like attempted homicide IS a valid charge, after all.

WTF, you still have Goldwater fever or something? How much of a fucking true believer are you, anyway? You forgot to mention how all those protesters were the reason we lost Vietnam, and how the Tet Offensive was a victory spun as defeat by 'leftist' media.' It's such prima facie bullshit, all this 'dolchstosslegende' nonce about how the dominoes would have fallen if we'd only supported a craven South Vietnam against the Reds. And what the fuck you say about an ideological cleansing? If the elimination of viewpoints different than yours is such a self-evident good, than I s'pose you would have fit right in with the Evil Empire. Don't folks like you ever realize how hypocritical you actually sound when you spout off in such a bloodthirsty manner?

Then you're only an American in the sense that you support whichever name is given to the patch of land on which you squat.
-
That "patch of land" is my home and fortunately it was founded on a system of beliefs completely and totally alien to a bunch of idiots sitting in the road screaming their little brains out.
-
There's nothing American about using violence to overrun the marketplace of ideas.
-
The "marketplace of ideas" is not conducted in the middle of a busy street. Maybe it is in third world nations, but it isn't here. People who are actively disrupting other people's lives through their tactics deserve what they get when other people get tired of that disruption.
-
Although I'm sure you'll simply regard this central tenet upon which America was founded, and go on believing jingoism and nationalism are appropriate means to express patriotism.
-
Heaven forbid "nationalism" be considered an appropriate means of patriotism! Nationalism, having pride in one's nation, is a fundamental cornerstone of patriotism. It in the simplest terms, it means supporting your country. I'll take that over the active undermining of my country in favor of some socialist global system of government anyday. As for "jingoism", history has proven over and over again that those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who do not. War doesn't solve 'anything', war solves everything. Those well-fed carefree sadly misguied young people have the opportunity to bitterly protest our nation's foreign policy because other young men and women have given up their lives to protect their ability to do so.
-
Do call it 'the Fatherland,' while you're at it, for completion's sake.

...and YOU'RE the one blithely invoking Godwin's law on other comments? Scratch a leftist and your hypocrisy always shines through.
-
How much of a fucking true believer are you, anyway?
-
I'm a person who recognizes rabble when I see it. Forty years ago, they were protesting Vietnam, twenty years ago, they were protesting our ICBMs in Europe, ten years ago they were protesting America's assistance of Kuwait, and now they're protesting again. They don't care what they're protesting. As long as America is involved, people like that (and most likely you) have such a hatred of this country and everything it stands for that America is always in the wrong no matter what the circumstances.
-
You forgot to mention how all those protesters were the reason we lost Vietnam,
-
Sarcasm doesn't suit you. The constant hampering of our ground forces through unrealistic rules of engagement was designed to constantly placate such protestors and it ultimately WAS, in fact, why we lost. History is beginning to repeat itself. The same internal moral rot within is limiting our effectiveness abroad.
-
It's such prima facie bullshit...etc.
-
That's your twisted view of history. Forty years ago, people like you were screaming the same things you are now. "It's none of our business. We don't need to get involved." North Vietnam had an ally that wasn't divided against itself, South Vietnam didn't have that luxury and the rest is history.
-
Leftists such as yourself were a rot then and you're a rot now. You can rant away, trolling away at every single person on this board you disagree with, but it won't change that basic truth. Your vision of "America" is radically different from ours.
-
If the elimination of viewpoints different than yours is such a self-evident good, than I s'pose you would have fit right in with the Evil Empire.
-
As I've said before, if the rabble wants to start actively disrupting the very fabric of our society with their tactics, then it's time equally disruptive tactics be used against them.
-
Did it every cross your self-indulgent skull that perhaps an fire truck or an ambulance might need to get through that traffic? If not on that street, then on another that's equally backed up thanks to their tactics? No?
-
If you feel you have the right to physically express your "view" by disrupting all of societysociety, then you have forfeited any moral right to complain when others adopt equally physical expressions by turning your stupid ass into roadkill.

Shorter Chartreuse: I just wish those folks protesting against an inflexible gov't would GET OFF MY LAWN!
As for this bit of historical revisionism:

That "patch of land" is my home and fortunately it was founded on a system of beliefs completely and totally alien to a bunch of idiots sitting in the road screaming their little brains out.

A few more points:
People who are actively disrupting other people's lives through their tactics deserve what they get when other people get tired of that disruption.
If you honestly believe obstructing someone's transit is justification for accelerating over someone's prone form, I'd hate to see what those durned rapscallions playing stickball get for breaking your picture window. Vengeance, thy name is...Chartreuse.

"Patriotism is supporting your nation all of the time, and you government when it is right." Your nationalism of the ocularly deficient variety only permits the first line to sink in.
-
As for "jingoism", history has proven over and over again that those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who do not. War doesn't solve 'anything', war solves everything.
Yeah, war worked wonders in Algeria. Didya ever stop and think that sometimes 'the others' will have problems to solve? And maybe, just maybe, they might all decide that problem is you? How's Sparta doing these days, anyway? The Congo never met a plowshare they couldn't reshape either. How's that working out?
-

Dude, the last time that statement was actually true was WWII. Not Vietnam, not Korea, not Panama, and certainly not Iraq. This elevation of militarism has its limits.
-
...and YOU'RE the one blithely invoking Godwin's law on other comments? Scratch a leftist and your hypocrisy always shines through.
Hah, I was invoking it on MYSELF. That should have been obvious, if you didn't take yourself so seriously. Self-deprecation is something us liberals (not leftists) are also pretty good at...your side, not so much.
-

Vietnam was just a proxy for the Cold War, and a pretty goddamn lousy one at that. Guess what? The Evil Empire still fell, and St. Ronnie got the credit. Please inform me of the massive protests held against Desert Storm, as I'm not aware. If you're complaining that protesting the current war is beyond the pale, considering its fallacious 'domino theory' underpinnings (and that the least pernicious reasoning), than you'll never be convinced.
-

Lemme guess: torture. It's always about how 'soldiers aren't given all the tools they need.' Hey, guess what? Even Israeli Special Forces higher-ups admit that torture should be kept illegal, to keep its use to a minimum. Other than that, if you mean placing limitations upon collateral damage, well that's been shown to sound military strategy well before flower-power raised its head. If refusing to accept a cost/benefit analysis that considers 1 American life equal to 50 of the enemy, if that's considered 'moral rot,' than I guess I'm black as sin. Sorry Dad.
-

South Vietnam was divided against itself. It was a loser of a war if there ever was one. Hell, there's plenty of war-torn locales across the globe that don't get half the attention that a now-divided Vietnam gets from you revanchists. Why no love for them?
-
Leftists such as yourself were a rot then and you're a rot now. You can rant away, trolling away at every single person on this board you disagree with, but it won't change that basic truth. Your vision of "America" is radically different from ours.
You mean that I'm not polarized enough to consider anyone slightly left-of-center to be a Commie-sympathizing leftist? And vice versa for the other side? Guess there really are 'Two Americas,' huh?
-
As I've said before, if the rabble wants to start actively disrupting the very fabric of our society with their tactics, then it's time equally disruptive tactics be used against them.
Once again, blocking traffic != deadly use of force.
-
If you feel you have the right to physically express your "view" by disrupting all of societysociety, then you have forfeited any moral right to complain when others adopt equally physical expressions by turning your stupid ass into roadkill.
Riiight...peaceful protest is an 'equally physical expression' to RUNNING SOMEONE OVER. I don't know why I didn't see it before!
