But, it didn’t happen because of an accident, it happened because people blocked the roadway on purpose.
As I said, if someone dies, whether that be from being in an ambulance that was blocked, or having their organ blocked, I would want to see murder charges.
Again, who should be charged? The protestors - thousands of them? The organizers? If an ambulance hadn't been able to get through the Super Bowl celebration in the streets, should the 49-ers have been charged, lol.
The protesters, every one of them blocking the road, and the organizers that told them to do it.
They would have actively taken part in another human being’s death, by choice.
Adding an “lol” doesn’t take away from the seriousness of their actions.
Super bowl celebrations are planned and permitted months in advance. Emergency vehicles know which routes to take to avoid them, it’s no where near the same thing as emergency vehicles getting trapped. You know this.
I'm lol-ing because the idea of arresting thousands and charging them with murder seems a little outrageous. Can you think of any other situation where this would be appropriate and have charges of murder ever been levied against a crowd of protestors when a death occurred? It would be quite difficult to prove that the death of the patient in the ambulance was a premeditated and deliberate act conducted simultaneously by thousands of people rather than an unintentional consequence. If some of the protestors thought that the protest was permitted, would they still face charges?
Of course, in this case, it's all hypothetical as no one died.
Just curious but do you believe that all the organizers and participants of a permitted protest which expands out of the permitted area, blocks a major street, and causes the deaths of multiple people including LEOs should also be charged, en masse, with murder?
