        You sound desperate and cringey

        Says the person who thinks inconvenience should be illegal.

        Freedom of movement implies the freedom not to move (while in the middle of a road), not the freedom from temporary obstructions.

          Interesting… so what are your thoughts on the practice of Kettling then? Police have used this tactic on protests that were properly permitted but may run afoul of the incumbent parties views.

          Using your logic this seems like it is just a small inconvenience for the protesters.

            Awwh, you think being detained by cops is the same thing as road closures? Next time they start doing construction are you gonna file kidnapping charges? XD

              It was a simple question which you’ve decided to not answer and instead make a snide remark.

              So I’ll ask it again what are your feelings on the practice of Kettling? It seems like if you’re ok with being illegally detained by protesters, you would be just as ok with being illegally detained by police?

              Road closures are not

                Pretty simple leading question, of course. If you want to equate police malfeasance with protesters who dare cause any sort of disturbance to the status quo, then that sounds like a “you” problem.

                  I see, so when police violate an individual’s rights it’s malfeasance on their part. Yet when protesters that you happen to agree with violate those rights in a shockingly similar manner, it’s a disturbance and the individual should “get over it” and it’s their problem.

                  It was indeed a very simple question which you tried to side step. You seem to understand how an individual who doesn’t have a stake in your cause could feel victimized by actions that directly affect their safety and liberty. But you and the protesters don’t care about those particular victims, you want just the attention.

                    Ah, I see. You don’t recognize any moral difference between a traffic jam and police detainment.

                    That’s hillarious.
