Blocking traffic for a political protest…

[Slimshandy]

“I implore people, please protest, we are here to protect your right to protest. But you cannot block roadways. You cannot keep emergency personnel whether it’s ambulance, law enforcement, fire department from getting out to assist other people,” said CHP Chief Don Goodbrand.

Found on first page of Google search using "ambulance blocked by protest".

Pretty interesting.

They think it’s a myth?



This is the first page for me:

SEATTLE, Wash. — During the Friday afternoon protest on northbound I-5 in downtown Seattle, protesters blocked an ambulance that was treating a 37-year-old male who was in critical condition.

Did you read it?

You are talking about something that happened three months ago?

Here is the question:



Do you think it’s ok for protesters to block an ambulance?

Oh wait! You want to discuss something from 2022.

The article you posted was from 2022…saying it’s a myth.


The first article I posted was from the same time proving that it happened, even though that article said it’s a myth.



The second article is from 2 months ago…





So now that it’s shown to happen… are you willing to say that blocking an ambulance is not ok?

Did you read the article re "Myth"?

I think protesting by blocking emergency vehicles is already an arrestable offense, as it should be.

Bottom line, these were not protests that had legal permits in SF. They were planned and coordinated with other protests yesterday from around the world.

The SF/Golden Gate Bridge protest in particular lasted for hours, inconveniencing many, including people who had medical appointments.

Want to make a statement and be taken seriously as well as respected? Don't do THIS.

"38 Pro-Palestinian protesters arrested after shutdown of Golden Gate Bridge, I-880 in Oakland, CHP says - ABC7 San Francisco" https://abc7news.com/pro-palestinian-pr ... /14668534/

If this were pro-Israeli groups, I believe your attitude would be entirely different.

We all have things we support.

"Organizers say these protests are a part of A15, a worldwide economic blockade in solidarity with Palestine and calling for an arms embargo and an end to U.S. taxpayer funding for Israel. Monday is the tax deadline for most Americans."

Yesterday in NYC that included "Death to America" chants as it did last week in Dearborn, Michigan:

Maybe they should take a trip over to Gaza and try protesting the Hostages being held. I wonder how long that would last?

Do you think long ambulance wait times in Britain have anything to do with protesters blocking emergency vehicles in America?

Speaking for myself Idc if they're blocking for climate change, gun control, LGBTQ and women's rights. Those are my particular support activities btw. Unless you've a permit, don't close a road. Don't close any major bridges or highways. And even if you've got auth from Jesus Himself don't block emergency vehicles, sirens on or not. Do a sit-in at city hall, protest on the sidewalk, or a side street with a permit if you want. The only thing you're doing by closing a major highway or blocking total access is turning people against your cause.

I don't know. Are there any studies on ambulances being held up by protests in America?

Would you change your stance on those topics over protestors closing or blocking access?

Personally I think protesting by blocking emergency vehicles is already an arrestable offense, as it should be.
