They should protest to the people that actually have the power to do something about. Because they're literally just laughing at these fools knowing they're not going to stop oil production.

[@amandaceconi9035]

It's clear these people do not have jobs but disturbing people who have lives and commitments. It's a disgrace they are getting away with it. They should be arrested and given community service so they can give some other purposes than disrupt innocent people

They want to stop oil completely but offer no realistic alternatives. Hard to comprehend that mindset, comes off as pure arrogance to me.

No one's ever been 'punished' for calling in late for work due to no fault of their own. And not a single person has died from these protests. They regularly let ambulances though. Vehicles also have a great ability to turn around and go other directions and take different routes. 🙄

[@XxViciousxX]

​@@chemeisterWell here's an even better thought these people could get the road and protest where they should be. In the USA we could run them over in most decent states as it is illegal to block someone's freedom of travel in this country.

[@officialmr_springtrap]

As someone who does not live in the UK, I don’t know the law about what happened in the last clip. But I find it funny that the people who were documenting the protesters got the number plate from the vehicle that drove around them like he was in the wrong.

[@tammylaronde8593]

@@aduckwithanumbrellaIn the UK, it is illegal for protestors to block the roads unless they have been granted advanced permission in which case police would be present and alternative routes planned ahead. They clearly are not getting advanced permission as they are blocking traffic and emergency services.

[@lilicandy9911]

It was my lovely Husband who poured water on them. Because they blocked the road ! And a lot of cars were honking.

[@loopular1]

What people don’t understand when they chuck water on these people or call them names or drag them away is that they like this! So they can say ‘we are such heroes enduring abuse for our cause and we still stand by our cause aren’t we virtuous’. They WANT the abuse!!! They probably compare themselves to Jesus dying in the cross for our sins because they’re complete narcissists.
