From USA Today:
#ShutDownDC aims to "disrupt the systems that created and perpetuate the climate crisis" and block key intersections across the city to disrupt traffic. https://t.co/T3mhQk1moi

Fantastic, another protest by a bunch of idiots and brainwashed children about something that they do not understand. ( End sarcasm)
To be honest, I don’t really care about their environmental alarmist bullshit. Shutting down DC, on the other hand, is something I could totally get behind.
The less time those assholes in the Capitol spend working, the better off we usually are.
The problem here is that the protest isn’t stopping Congress from running the Bill of Rights through a shredder or preventing the alphabet soup of Federal bureaucracies from jamming their hands into our pockets and micromanaging our lives. It’s stopping regular people from getting to work.
If there was a protest that only inconvenienced elected officials and Federal bureaucrats, I’d be fine with that shit going on 365 days per year.
Watching some of the videos from the protest, however, gives me another thought.

It should be totally legal to drive through any illegal protest that blocks traffic. If the protesters don’t have a permit to block the street let them play live-action Frogger. A city shouldn’t be brought to a halt by this type of tactic.
Especially after what we saw in Portland with Antifa blocking intersections and attacking drivers.
Lastly, this video got me thinking.
Climate strikers are trying to shut down infrastructure in DC by refusing to move, and laying down on vehicles blocking intersections while their supporters say its “unsafe” to tow them while they’re on it. You know what? Tow that shit. #ShutDownDC https://t.co/iZe6s9cLjw

A hallmark of the New Left is crybullying. They attack then play the victim when responded to with force.
I think this is another reason the Left loves radical Islam because this has been a consistent tactic used by Hamas and Hezbollah for years against Israel. These groups launch missiles at markets in Israel then claim to be victims when an Israeli air-strike takes out a Palestinian bomb factory.
These assholes are blocking traffic with a van, then are screaming that the police can’t tow the van because it’s too dangerous to tow it with people riding on it.
I can only see this tactic being used more and more in more extreme ways.
“It’s dangerous to shoot at Protesters who are only attacking cops with clubs.”
Screw them.
A large v plow on an Oshkosh truck, ramming speed!
Cat 24 Haul Road Master Motor Grader. Set the 24′ blade straight across about 4″ off the road and at a 30 degree forward tilt. Need a few water trucks to come behind and wash what remains of the “protesters” off the road.
Skunk spray on the road in front of them. TBH I am surprised the did tow the van with that thing on it.
And… the number of people who changed their mind because of this is….
Zero.
Meaning that it was a huge waste of time.
But it increased their social credit rating with all their comrades!
Their credit rating with their comrades is already an 850.
Of course, in their minds, they can go past that, so any self generated applause only pushed their egos higher…
“These assholes are blocking traffic with a van, then are screaming that the police can’t tow the van because it’s too dangerous to tow it with people riding on it.”
My suggestion: pepper-spray the hella out of them commies and then tow the van when the dbags bail from the vehicle
