    I don’t mind protests at all, it’s completely your right. Assuming you’re in a country that supports it, ie China your ass is black bagged. But when you impeed and block people, yeah you need to be arrested. Standing in roads, blocking hospitals, ect.

      As long as your protest doesn’t inconvenience anyone it’s fine.

      Which is literally the justification for stopping all protests “under rule of law”. But people like the you can’t see beyond the sole of the boot you’re licking.

      For example, Rosa parks rode the bus in the white section. It inconvenienced the white people who didn’t like it. Under your logic she should be arrested. Which is what happened.

      Protests need to cost money and inconvenience people or they have no power.

      So it’s ok if they protest just as long as the protest doesn’t inconvenience anyone and you don’t have to notice it.

      You do get how that’s not a protest. Right?

      A protest that impacts no one negatively is not a protest, it’s a parade.

      Blocking roads and impeding people IS protesting, just voicing your opinion without any collective action is a political rally. Protesters pretty much 100% of the time let emergency services like ambulances still pass through. If someone is blocking a hospital they are a wrecker trying to discredit the protest.
