    I truly do not understand how the cops (such as in the first video) are just parked there watching them. They should be immediately arrested for <whatever> on a public roadway.

    Just a guess - Chicago Police have no jurisdiction on interstate roads. That's state police.

      It's simple...Treat them like the Jan 6 rioters (who most had much less effect on people's lives than these people).

      Like Jan 6, I guess the police could shoot one of them, but the target probably wouldn't be a veteran.

        Similar has happened elsewhere.

          I dont understand how something like this would make me more sympathetic to their reason for protesting? 🤷

            Perhaps you could ask the "No Oil" art defacers for some insight?

                I’ve explained it. They are proving something to themselves. That they are willing to sacrifice for their ideals, to be on the right side of history. The point is to demonstrate something about themselves to themselves, and maybe to the social group they care about. The point is not to affect change.

                The interesting question is, for these people intent on demonstrating their virtue, how much are they actually willing to sacrifice? Not much, would be my guess. My other guess is that their plan is actually to increase their social status within the group they care about.

                Education is extremely important.

                    Florida, I believe, has made it a felony.

                    If you intentionally delay someone for more than 5 minutes - off you go. Sadly, however, they're going to have to release some (alleged) illegal alien (yeah, I said it) murderers to make room.
