Privileged toffs, all they are doing is Hurting the working class people.

[daveatkin]

I'm actually changing from an electric bike to a petrol motorbike literally because of these people.

The longer you block traffic, the longer you allow cars to pollute the air. You’re doing a great job of living the double standard.

[mortymorty]

Blame the police department for not upholding the law.

[rickyf]

This just makes me hate these protestors, should be arrested

[JamesMcDonald-ig]

Make all the protesters pay for all the costs for the police responding!

[marklanahan]

tell the cops to treat them like they are striking miners.

[edgarrett]

Let's make tens of thousands of vehicles sit idling in stopped traffic. That'll curb oil use.

[rathnaitmullen]

Let the motorists deal with them ; won’t cost a penny!

[RustScarcelli]

Those people are the worse kinds of humans blocking traffic

[alexsimmons]

Arrest the protesters and throw them in a jail with no lights or air conditioning.

[crippledcrow]

Paint ball guns work real well on these kind of demonstrators. Announce that they have 2 minutes to move out before you open fire. They are marked and arrested later. Plus they get some whelps on their backs to go with it.

[trentsteele]

For all their protests, they've never been further from their desired outcome.

[drymoper]

They should be fined each and everytime they protest on the road to recoup the tax payers money

[annedances]

The JSO organization should be taken to court to reimburse the cost of policing their protests. They could protest more effectively on the pavements anyway.

[joshsav-.]

As far as I'm reasonably interested, if you walking in a road your not protesting your being dangerous....

[billglidden]

Don't stop, keep driving. Their numbers will diminish over time.

[natalietylerrobinson]

They respond and then do nothing but stand there protecting them.

[allenhartley]

They could have locked them up on the first day, costing only a few thousand. The fines would have then reimbursed said money.

[benschlotte]

Cops need to do the job and get these idiots out of the road for everyone’s safety
