Or maybe everybody should breathe through their pants, calm down a bit, share the road, that kinda stuff.

I sincerely think that someone parked in the bike lane (or fire lane or other places you’re not supposed to park for safety) should forfeit the protection of law. While your car is there, anyone inconvenienced by it should be allowed to just do whatever.
People are like “well I was just there for a minute!” and I’m like it takes less than a minute for a cyclist to swerve around the ill-placed car, get hit by some other car, and die, so that doesn’t seem convincing.
I just don’t care that you need your car to be there for personal convenience. Deal with it instead of making it everyone else’s problem.
At what point does protestors forcing traffic to stop on a highway become kidnapping?
Or when is blocking an ambulance murder?
The moment the protestors barricade your doors and physically prevent you from leaving your vehicle.
So does forcing someone to stop their vehicle and only proceed on foot count as grand theft auto?
Surely we’re talking about felonies here, and since it’s being done by a group you can add conspiracy as well.
You’re talking about an absurd fantasy.
An “absurd fantasy” is sitting on the highway and expecting not to get run over. A few states have made it expressly legal to run people over in these circumstances.
I’d call it absurd to think it’s acceptable to murder people with a car due to a minor inconvenience and then celebrate it like you are. Pretty disgusting, too.
Yeah, it’s pretty disgusting taking out your feelings on folks just trying to go about their lives and make ends meet.
Hurt. The. Rich. You. Idiots.
I suggest you take a look in the mirror and then take your own advice
I guess it’s all criminals leaving these signs around then.
You’re in c/fuckcars buddy. Read the room.
At what point do carbrains become liable for destroying the environment?
I would say the very second passenger car traffic exceeds the environmental impact of the cruise industry. How much environmental damage does Carnival Cruise Lines do compared to all the highway traffic in the United States? We’re talking an entirely recreational industry here, if all cruise ships disappeared tomorrow society would keep right on rolling. Cases of norovirus would decrease.
You want passenger rail to increase in the United States? Great. Let’s start with Amtrak’s website. I live within walking distance of an active Amtrak station. Several times in my life I’ve had a want or need to travel cross country, and it occurred to me “I wonder if I could take the train.” The answer, inevitably, is no. I go to Amtrak’s website, pick a starting station and a destination station, and usually they outright can’t plan a trip between those locations. Not even capable of saying things like “take the Silver Star to Grand Central station in New York, wait 8 hours, then take the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago.” It proved to be less work on my part to drive, fly as a passenger on an airliner, and fly as pilot of a Cessna, than take the train in this country.
And what part of that is my personal fault?
Oh, well, if others are worse then I guess you’re not doing anything wrong.
If you’ve got to lose weight, you cut out the fat, not the muscle.
If you care about the environment, target the worst, least necessary things first. You don’t genuinely care about the environment though.
You got me, I don’t give a shit about the environment, unlike you, the biggest tree-hugger in the world.
The same point where you are detained for kidnapping for forcing the other cars to stop in traffic.
Next time there is a jam, just throw everyone in jail for kidnapping each other.
The difference between a traffic jam and protestors blocking traffic is intent.
I take it none of you passed high school civics?
If you know there’s going to be a traffic jam at 5PM on the I-Fuckit, aggravated by your presence, is that not intent or, at the very least, gross negligence?
Is that the drivers’ fault, or the highway engineers’ fault? Why isn’t the highway designed to handle anticipated traffic?
At some point you have to take responsibility for your own actions.
Actions like…forcing strangers on the highway to stop, holding them against their will, forcing them to leave their vehicles, all of which are definitely felonies?
At this point it’s clear you’re just trolling.
Nothing’s stopping a driver from getting out of their car and walking away. So never.
So I ask again, did the protesters just steal a car?
…no. if you leave your car somewhere is it stolen?
If I leave my car somewhere because a group of people gave me no choice but to do so, yes it is stolen.
Are you planning to do this? Do I need to contact the authorities?
So its robbery then.
Never
Name calling… Check Unsubstantiated claims… Check Fake quotes… Check Rampant escalation of violence… Check
Yup, quality post we got here guys. I haven’t even had a cup of coffee yet.
Look, if we in ‘fuckcars’ can’t agree on entirely reasonable things like setting fire to cars parked in bike lanes, what are we even doing? 😂
Ha, I get it. Lots of stuff here is posted super seriously. It’s easy to incite this community where it spills over into others.
I suppose the joke part of this didn’t sink in. I refer to my earlier comment about lack of coffee. :)
Ever try blowing up a car and burn your mouth on the exhaust? No, be reasonable…you set it on fire!
Most cars can’t handle going off-road so it really isn’t true freedom of movement.
![[meme] Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b6058a64-70f8-45b0-8431-9b4597d43e94.jpeg){kind=link}
