Those blocking traffic are not protesters, they are criminals and are rioting. Protesters usually have a common goal, blocking traffic is not protesting. Same people who loot as an excuse and call it protesting. If they approach my vehicle in a threatening way, the only thing logical to do is flee, if they don't move it's not my fault?  |

Agree with Hockeyman. Blocking traffic is rude and illegal. If you are putting yourself at risk, you should accept the consequences, and pay the hospital bills.  |

It is illegal to block the free flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic. In other words, protesting on the sidewalk is fine....as long as you let people pass.  |

Some people do it because they fear for their life . Does the law protect them if they do it because they feel their life is in danger ? In Dallas I have seen the cops beg people to stop blocking the freeway . This is getting out of hand .  |

I'm concerned about people trying to get to hospitals and such but protestors block their way.  |

O don't care who you are protesting on the sidewalk or street no one should be run over and anyone in a car who does hurt someone should be held accountable for their action. Most places you just take a different route.  |

JUST THREE QUOTES: "bless those who oppose you and don't curse them" Bible. "Protest orderly and peacefully and don't block the flow of traffic" Law of the land. "Have a great day and stay out of jail" Man of Asgard. God bless  |

The Army has determined that additional discussion and analysis are warranted in light of the history of the Great Sioux Nation’s dispossessions of lands, the importance of Lake Oahe to the Tribe, our government-to-government relationship, and the statute governing easements through government property. |

I pasted the above from the Army Corps of Engineers page . The Energy Transfer Partners are disregarding this order from Washington D.C. They continue work on the pipeline after being ordered to stop . Does this give the native Americans the right to obstruct the bull dozers ??? The military police are shooting protesters with rubber billets and spraying them with mace . What is your take on this ? I want to do what is right . |

Sadly, if it's on government land, it can be used a a pipeline pathway. It has to be on a non government reservation to get an exception I think. Or the tribe has to have it designated as an independent nation, and own the land. And it all depends on who decides what can be officially ordered to be delayed or stopped. But at the same time, respect the native Americans. Or compensation for them needing the land. They do have the right to protest. But the people also under the same right to stop them, if they don't need government authorization. It's really an iffy situation. |

I don't think they should block streets and I don't think they should be ran over. A peaceful, organized protest gives you more credibility. Once it turns otherwise, unfortunately, the point is not heard. The struggle is real. I commend you for standing up for what you believe in.  |

Mayuka would you be okay with making blocking the freeway and roads a felony ? Lawmakers in the USA want to make this a felony to discourage this activity . Violence does not give a protest credibility . Peace does . |

It should've been a felony years ago. I'd support it. |

The one thing that bothers me is when people say protesters should be peaceful. Pick any one of the protests that have gone on in the last year, what are they protesting? Usually protesting racism of some sort, which in and of itself is not peaceful. I understand the "Turn the other cheek", but at what point does it become foolish to turn the other cheek? Black and brown people have been waiting for equal human rights for centuries.  |

Our jail systems are so full as they are, to make blocking freeways a felony is too extreme; though I do see the threat and how this might dissuade people from doing so. But, think of all the other crimes that are felonies, seriously protesting? If they're doing violent acts on top of the protesting then they're no longer protesting, but rioting. There has to be some other way, I think geared more toward prevention rather than punishment after the fact. Again, I don't think they should be blocking the freeway. Overall, this is difficult to find a solution. On Nov. 12, here in LA, we had the largest protest in history and it was peaceful and no one blocked the freeway. |

Damaging a motor vehicle is a federal crime . Blocking the freeways can be considered a federal crime because the freeways connect within multiple states . I think blocking the freeways is very dangerous to drivers and pedestrians . When a cop tells someone to get off the freeway and the protester disobeys that should be obstruction of justice . |

Of course they shouldn't be run over intentionally. Every effort should be made by a driver to avoid hitting a pedestrian. If someone is blocking an interstate and gets turnover by accident thenbits exactly that...an accident. If a driver hits a pedestrian intentionally purely out of malice then the driver should be charged accordingly. Concurrently anpedestrian who causes an accident should also be charged accordingly. It would all depend on the circumstances and liability.  |

If you are blocking the streets with "protesting" than they should not complain if they get hit. It is common knowledge that cars belong on the roads, and if you want to protest do so peacefully and don't block the roads or infringe on anyone elses rights. With how "protesting" is going now days anything could happen while you are stuck there by protesters. I mean some of those protesters have been lighting cars on fire.  |
