One person's foolishness is another person's courage. It all depends on your perspective.

yep, because a bunch of thugs threatening innocent people just trying to use a road is soooooooooooo brave

I think people have the right to protest (this was over austerity cuts apparently) but they should do it in a peaceful way that doesn't massively impede on others going about their business. Even workers striking there is usually a contingency to allow business to continue but here they are literally stopping people getting past on a road. What if there was an emergency? Police should have cleared these morons immediately. The guy shouldn't have run people over but their behaviour was completely outrageous and I'm not surprised he snapped.

In that part of the world, austerity cuts are enough to put people's lives and well being at risk. At least some of the protesters were probably fighting to keep a roof over their heads. Funny thing about people laughing at the protesters getting injured (at least). Could be you, or your family, next time

Look at them pussies running down the embankment. Think they can take on traffic and cry when someone gets run over.

My favorite was the two chicks that were like, "Fuck this shit" and started scooting down the hill.

You miss the whole point of civil disobedience. Rosa Parks should never have got on that bus, but just held a sign on a street somewhere, right? King was breaking the law and arrested when he went to Birmingham Jail. Read Thoreau. All the political heroes of history were law breakers. Heroes must face risk!

No, you will just bend over and smile, but maybe someone you know will the balls to protest.
