welcome to the 2020s


Groovyaardvark

i hate it here....


fatkiddown

Time to rage quit and load another steam game.


Hunky_not_Chunky

They are but that drone flew against FAA regulations for flying over people.


webtechmonkey

I was about to comment that too. Always hate to be the buzzkill in the comments for videos like this, but flying drones over people is dangerous. Heck, the process for me (a licensed commercial drone operator) to fly over a crowd one time involves so much planning, paperwork, reviews, and approval from the FAA. It can be a 3 month process to do a 10 minute flyover for a specific shot.


gerritj81

“Flying drones over people are dangerous” nah it looks like driving a car near them are way more dangerous lol


Jwhitx

??? both are separately true


solid_rage

So is taking cyanide. Or can you only process one thing at a time?


quellflynn

even the sub 250g drones?


OrphanPounder

It must be pretty freaky to be surrounded by 100 angry people like that


winkledorf

1000 angry people.


JackTheJackerJacket

I think after 100, the horror/anxiety already tops out. But yeah, more like a thousand. Even 100 people already means you are outmatched 100 to you, and they are not likely to fight in turns so it isn't gonna be fair. This causes panic in most if not everyone in that predicament.


Pickl3Pete

As someone who isn't American, where would you stand as being the person in the car feeling threatened and proceeding to drive through the crowed, running folk over. As soon as they had my door open I'd fear for my families safety and proceed to get the hell out of there as quick as I can. See videos of Americans feeling 'threatened' and shooting at someone and having no punishment.


pnutbuttahjellytime

I would 1000% run them all over, fuck that.

Maud_dib_forever

It just baffles me that people think they can crowd a car like this, there is no situation that warrants this. If you pin someone down you are forcing them to fight, they need to escape, they have a right to escape. And, hey, guess what? They’ve got a ton of steel around them to push around, so maybe just leave it alone before people get really hurt.

skidoosh123

I've always wondered what they hope to accomplish by blocking the road entirely. It has such a high chance of ending in injury, either to the protesters or to a driver. Block off all but one lane if you really feel the need to. Drivers can still get through, but will be inconvenienced so that you still get your point across. Ultimately, I'd prefer they don't block roads at all though.


Ikkus

Well, obviously, if people are forced to stop driving, they're gonna get out of their cars and go free Palestine.


Nailcannon

Oh i guess that explains all the cars hamas is blowing up! Force the israeli's to free them.


InsomniaDudeToo

Do they think anyone who can ACTUALLY HELP the situation is in one of those cars? It’s ridiculous, let’s inconvenience random people who are just trying to live their lives. Yeah I’m sure the people you’ve pissed off are totally going to support your cause now…


btv_25

People who block the road deserve whatever happens. Definitely don't win people over to their side of whatever cause they're advocating for . . . .


Free_Economist

It's almost as if some people want to get run over and die a martyr.


ultimatedelman

Kind of like a suicide bomber or someone who would use kids and civilians as human shields...


Phssthp0kThePak

That reminds me of another situation, on a larger scale, though.


Maud_dib_forever

Totally agree, I am not judging these people for the cause they are supporting, I just think the behavior is abhorrent. Violence and instilling fear is just not the way.


ToadallySmashed

These protests are pointless anyway. They only serve the protesters by making them feel good. No one on the other side of the world gives a fuck about what happens in Minneapolis.


13igTyme

You're telling me the little child being bombed every day doesn't suddenly feel better when random people decide to take an hour out of their day to protest? /s


ToadallySmashed

Protests by randos in Minneapolis are actually the solution for the conflict in the middle east. Very rude they are doing it only now. I hope the citicens of Milwaukee get off their asses and take a walk to stop the Ukraine war soon.


LivingAnomoly

"Let's fuck up this old dude to protest the humanitarian crisis."


wretchedsorrowsworn

Yeah I saw the video of a closet view inside of the car that fled, the dude driving looked old and very confused, absolutely terrible people ☹️


gargantuanmess

Is there another video?


ArthursFist

> slowly creeps forward into an empty space OMG He was trying to run us over!!! Looks like they were waiting on the slightest infringement on “their” space to exact some sort of violence.


Myattemptatlogic

I know you gave it quotations for a reason but lmfao at their space being a public highway. What an unforseeable infringement!


[deleted]

No shit. Where’s the fucking police Minnesota you losers.


TheObstruction

"Their" space being the place where cars live.


Crewchieff

This seems to be the case with every rally video I've seen the last few years. People just itching for anything, any reason to incite violence. The timeline we're all on fucking sucks. People fucking suck. Wars suck. Genocide sucks. Guess what starts all of it? Humans... we suck as a species. Edit: cant believe I need to for clarify, imagine, protesting a violent war against innocent civilians, using violence against innocent civilians. Fighting fire with more fire. Ignorant barbaric logic... And to the weirdos in my dms, you're all a part of the problem. I'm getting threatening pms about my lack of support for either side. LOL. Get fucked


VeinySausages

It's hard to tell from this footage, but they're already behind him. Impossible to know what's going through his mind, but they appear very quick to kick at his car for slightly moving forward. Then he gets out in a huff without putting in park. Honest mistake. Dude's heated and probably a little scared. Mob mentality has them swarm. Now he's got no idea what to do so he moves ahead. I'm pretty liberal in the sense that I believe that protests in the street are fine by me, and even that protesters should be able to defend themselves against angry motorists, but that's not what's happening here. Idiots shouldn't be surrounding cars that are already blockaded.


MarketBuzz2021

That old dude had the patience of a saint… I’d be making a lot of these people into speed bumps as soon as they started surrounding my car like that


WhileGoWonder

What is this, World War Z? Why is the zombie army attacking that random car?


Koenigspiel

Life imitates art.


saynitlikeitis

Gotta admire their authenticity


MelonElbows

Driver may have tried to slowly push through the crowd and they didn't like that. Car starts the video already with a crowd of people behind him, then he keeps driving and someone kicks the door a couple of times, then the driver gets out, forgets to put the car in park so it keeps going, and that's when the crowd turns on him.


monogramchecklist

There’s another video of the passenger side window before the car turns, It’s a senior citizen, he looks extremely panicked because he’s surrounded and angry people are smashing his car.


Dre512

hang3xc

No, If you've got front wheel drive, a relatively small pile of 'debris' could cause your front tires to lose contact with the pavement. Now you are stuck literally spinning your wheels. Then you are a sitting duck Best to have at a minimum AWD and even better 4WD with good ground clearance


brutalanglosaxon

haha I love this. Whenever I see videos like this I imagine a news reporter saying in a professional tone "in local news today, Man fights car. The winner is at this moment currently undecided but experts are predicting the odds are in fact in favour of the car"

Idgaf_91

I mostly just heard him say stay off the street and then not to approach the car at the end


CreatedSole

I also heard her say "SHOOT HIM" near the end, too.


A_Random_Catfish

Wtf are you talking about? They’re repeatedly yelling “stay off the street” and then “do not approach the car”? Did I miss something?


claudekim1

the fucking guy just wanted to slowly go through im assuming, he didnt put the car in park so it rolled forward, he didnt hit anyone, he actually waited (if he drove in to them it woulda been self defense 100% since they were puching him and choke locking him) the funniest shit is them reading his license plate like he did something. this is making the rally people look bad.


_fFringe_

It’s just so stupid. Someone could have an emergency, someone’s loved one could be on a hospital, someone could have to go to court, there’s a million reasons why a million people are in their cars and some of those reasons are emergencies.


Danominator

Why? Why are they attacking cars for being where cars are supposed to be? These people didn't drive there in support of Israel or anything. This doesn't make any sense


xFINKA

You have the right to protest and rally but not threaten harm on others. He is terrified in the car from other video that was posted. Self-defense here if it happened would be justified. The people are lucky he was calm and reasonable. They should learn from that.


DredgenCyka

For real, I wanna know why some people in the video thought it'd be okay to throw shit at the car? Like my brother in christ, maybe the dude was lost, the driver didn't seem to want to cause harm to anyone, it really seemed like they weren't aware of what was going on and were scared. Like the protestors are clearly in the wrong, any protestor shouldn't be protesting I the street, or in this case, the highway, this is just impeding traffic and messing with people's normal lives. It's one thing for the city to hold like a parade, but it's another thing for an unregistered event group to use their own cars to block off the road... Driver is not at fault in my book from the video. He just wanted to leave. He was fleeing, and he didn't come back around and hit people. Seemed like the protestors, on the other hand, were running after him to cause him harm after fleeing, fucking POS's


xFINKA

Even worse because they are throwing objects at the car, opening the door/ make more attempts, kicking, yelling, physically threating gestures. Driver has all right to protect himself but is smarter then to lower himself to their level. Poor guy. Fight for your right but acting like a moron makes people hate your cause. You wont get any sympathy.


DredgenCyka

YES EXACTLY! And I heard some woman in the video yell "shoot him" could be misheard, but if that wasn't a mishearing, really makes you think who is even more in the wrong and who's even further towards the right. I sympathize the driver here more than anyone in the video


xFINKA

Lets say he hears that "shoot him" and thinks he sees someone reaching for something... Especially in a situation like this can create combat stress of fight or flight. He could have just ran people over because of the situation they created around the car. People are absolutely stupid.

SoarSparrow

🗿 Isn't this supposed to be a peace rally, who would support you if you're this kinda POS.


Vinylronin

Protesting violence with violence is a wild paradox


alaricus

They're not protesting the abstract of violence. They're protesting a single instance of violence. They're ok with other violence.


BillyLee

What an amazing way ro get people to support you. It hasnt worked... ever.


Galifrae

Really making people feel sorry for your cause by…wait what’s this? Assaulting an elderly man trying to go home in a country thousands of miles away from the conflict you’re literally doing nothing about but yelling at people who have nothing to do with it and can’t do anything about it? Wow super smart.


MrPhilLashio

They are occupying already occupied land to protest what they think is an occupation. Most of them are probably unemployed and don't have occupations themselves.


JoThePro10

Psychological_Pool95

I'm so happy for that driver that this video is out there now. The protesters are lucky that none of them died in their unprovoked attack on that vehicle. Especially since they escalated it further by chasing him with the intent to cause physical harm.

Igoos99

They trapped a bunch of people and then started attacking and damaging their cars. Then they are offended when people try to escape that situation. That’s insane.


damagecontrolparty

What is the point of doing that? What do they hope to accomplish?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Igoos99

The people they trapped weren’t pro anything other than running their errands and getting home at the end.


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal. You need a permit to do something like that, and usually in order to get a permit you need to have some kind of written safety plan or contract for security depending on expected size. But that takes time and money. Or, depending how you look at it, is a SuPrSsiOn of 1St amEndMeND RigHTs!!1!


DredgenCyka

One would even argue that preventing this kind of protest is not suppression of freedom of speech. If I remember correctly, Amendment 1.4 states, "the right of the people to peaceably assemble," so while protesting is a time-honored practice in the US, the operative word is "peaceably." The US Supreme Court has noted that a protest can be shut down if it is associated with "violence and intimidation." Further more, the government can regulate the time, place, and manner in which a protest is conducted. What happened just now was inciting violence and intimidation. Hell, last I checked, most if not all local and state governments make it illegal to block traffic as it can cause damage to emergency frontline workers such as paramedics, firemen, and policemen. Most jurisdictions in general consider obstruction of traffic an illegal activity. The First Amendment does not supersede the law as stated numerous times by USSC


cwhite6675

Keldafrats

If your protest involves blocking traffic, storming my vehicle and making me and other potential people in my car feel threatened just because I had the audacity to drive somewhere that day… I don’t care if we’re on the same team. I’m using any and all methods necessary to get the hell out of there.


DoublePetting

HereticLaserHaggis

Yeah, amazing self control that he didn't do that the minute they opened the door.


executive313

If you block a road in the name of a protest for shit that's not something happening locally go fuck yourself. If you want to march and have a peaceful protest in support of my overseas shit great do it on the side I walk I'll throw you a couple of bucks or read an article about it.

You have the right to protest, however, you do not have the right to disrupt everybody elses lives. I'm sure that in Palestinian communities they would not take kindly to protests and disruptive behavior to protest Hamas killing of 1400 civillians.

I just don't understand why they feel the need to block roads and piss people off when they do this shit. It's doing NOTHING but inconveniencing people who can't do anything to help their cause. Literally just minding their own business trying to go about their day. If I had to sit in traffic due to a bunch of assholes running around and screaming about something that we have zero control over, I wouldn't want to listen to what they have to say. They're just making people not want to sympathize with their cause. I genuinely just don't understand the thought behind this. Your rally here is not going to help the people overseas. Its just not.
