How to Handle Road Blocking Protestors

[Ben]

The Italians don't put up with that crap. 

Not that it lasted long, but it was good to see people not putting up with that stuff. I would imagine that if citizens in the US did this, they would face some kind of lawsuits or legal ramifications for assault or something.

I don't care what state they're from

I expected the truck on the right to engage Steamroller Mode at any moment.

That banner looks like cloth.  Wonder if it would be legal to tie them to the guardrail with their own banner?  Maybe just wrap one of them up in it like a mummy and dump them in the ditch.

[K Frame]

This is how you deal with that bullshit...

The guy in shorts needs a roll of gorilla tape

The problem here is there is just not enough normal people that just want to get on with life. The protesters most likely meet some dude in a dodge truck that is on their same autistic rainbow, just a different side.

I wonder how much trouble you would get in if you zip tied them to the guardrail?

[HankB]

Some of the comments illustrate a major problem in this country - YOU will get in trouble if you do anything. Who will go after you? THE POLICE, THAT'S WHO!

Is it any wonder that societal support for the boys in blue is seeing a steady decline, largely due to politicians who order the cops to do either nothing or the wrong thing?

There is a non posting member of this board who is working on flame throwers on the bumper. I personally would consider bear spray or even a well deployed dry chemical fire extinguisher.

Might be hard to see using the dry chem.

I seem to remember a company in South Africa actually selling flame thrower kits for cars

There are dozens and dozens of non-lethal crowd control options but they never seem to get used when it would be appropriate.
Hell, a couple of simple truck mounted water cannons would have done wonders in most of the summer riots we saw a couple of years ago.

Unfortunately, we choose to be crippled by our past. No one wanted to be compared to Bull Connor, regardless how specious the charge would be.

I thought tossing that dude over the guardrail was a better solution

Re the flamethrower:

"The first buyer, Police Superintendent David Walkley of Johannesburg's crime intelligence unit, is satisfied the Blaster is legal, provided it is used correctly.

'It depends entirely on the circumstances and whether you can justify self-defense,' he said.

'Yes, there are certain risks in using it, but there are also risks in not having anything at all.' "

Variation:  "I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it."

That must be new. I have the regular Pulsefire. If they had that one when I bought mine, I woulda got that instead. Then the neighbors could really roll their eyes every time I burn brush piles. 

[MillCreek]

^^^After watching that video, I am envious.

As I am sure you noticed, take care in high winds.

That is pretty slick.  Going to add that to the want list.  I wonder if it would mount to a... never mind.

What is it with people idiots still taking videos with their phones in portrait mode?  Especially when it's to demonstrate a product they are selling.  Hell, even few commercial video and TV stations are sometimes cropping video to look like portrait-mode cell phone video.  They must think it looks edgy or fashionable or something.  Take your stupid videos in 16:9 or 16:10 mode for cryin' out loud!  It looks better and every smart phone on the planet can do it.

Okay, I'll quiet down and go back to sleep.
