Granted, I don’t mean plow through them, but I saw a car going about two miles an hour, as though he just released the brake, and the protesters had no choice but to move… then cars started slowly going…none of the protesters were hurt, they just had to move

That’s no longer a peaceful protest, that’s taking part in a person’s death if the ambulance can’t get to the hospital and the person in it dies.
I’d support murder charges in that instance.

On the basis that they actively took part in the person’s death, on purpose. ( if the person did die)

Has that ever happened? Dispatch generally routes ambulances to avoid heavy traffic areas so I would assume that if an ambulance encounters a protest, they are not on an emergency call.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 9:52 amMurder charges for the protesters not allowing an ambulance to get to the hospital.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 9:47 amMurder charges against whom and on what basis?Slimshandy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 9:39 am

I remember outrage during BLM protests when an ambulance was blocked by protestors. It was on the way to the gas station to refuel, lol.
I think people have selective outrage depending on their views regarding the protest or march. For example, someone may be outraged by the inconvenience caused by the pro-Palestinian marches but have cheered on the "Truckers' Convoy" that shut down the DC beltway a couple of years ago. Sure, some people may hate them all but everyone should feel lucky that we live in a country where the right to peacefully protest is embedded in our Constitution. Unlike, say Saudi Arabia and we all know how the Saudi government dealt with Arab Spring protests.

Yesterday there was an ambulance with its lights on, being blocked.
They do not have the right to block traffic.
They never had the right to block traffic…
If they want the right to a peaceful protest, they need to either get a permit or stand on a sidewalk.
Essentially Holding people hostage was never their right.
