Just Stop Oil protesters attempting to block a roadway were just stopped by a bus driver who wasn't intimidated by them in the least.

That'll do it. Hope he gets them walking doesn't he?

I don’t know that anyone is intimidated by the protesters. More that the biased judicial system will punish drivers for going/forcing their way through blockades.

Idiots. What kind of moron sits down in front of a moving bus that obviously is
not going to stop?
Eventually somebody will get run over and maybe they'll stop these stupid shenanigans.

While I agree about the biased judicial system, I still think it took a lot of confidence and steel nerves on the part of the driver to proceed as he did with that mass of people directly in the path of his bus. Even absent judicial bias, I'm pretty sure I would not have been able to handle that the way he did.

Well if they were really committed to their cause they would have stayed in place. So obviously by moving they demonstrated that they did not really believe they were saving the world.

one wonders what mode of transportation the idiots used to get to the bridge... ironically, by bus?

Bring back cattle bars, like the steam trains used to have.

"Cow catchers"

Well, if you're going to be punished anyway you may as weel give her a bit more gas.

How old was the boy? Maybe 12? What kind of parent would tell his kid to do that or let him choose? Yep the oil is gonna kill your kid.

They had opened the engine compartment of the bus. That is interstate piracy.

The governments do NOTHING about these dangerous loonies, but will prosecute grandma to the hilt for a minor infraction.

How long before they piss off a bunch of armed diversity immigrants?

It has happened before where protesters were blocking traffic and got turned into road pizza. It happened at least once in Minneapolis during or shortly after the Georgie Boy riots. Some folks turned down a street only to find it was blocked off by the peaceful protesters who quickly surrounded their vehicle and started pounding on it. The driver understandably panicked and just floored it to escape and seriously hurt several of the idiots.

I don't recall the outcome in terms of punishment if any for the driver. I could be wrong but I thought it has been law forever that you could not actively block or impede traffic for any reason other than if you are law enforcement.

It’s really too bad that a few of them weren’t crushed under the wheels.

I remember the moron laying on train tracks trying to stop a locomotive. Guessing he regrets being stupid.

Only one way to effectively deal with morons like this

When they’re convinced they’ll be run over, they stand back up. When they are standing, they can be pushed out of the way or moved down the road. Vehicles need cow catchers like 19th century steam locomotives.

I don’t have an issue with protestors. Stand on the side of the road and wave your banners. But block a public roadway and you should expect to get run over.

Zero sympathy for anyone blocking a roadway or train tracks. Easy solution is to neutralize the obstacle and it won’t happen again.

Is this the same people?

just need to mount a large Tesla coil on the front of the bus and he's golden.
