Don't block roads, dont block emergency vehicles. But do protest.

Emergency vehicles could easily take a separate lane that was just a 20 meters over, they weren't blocked.

Playing by the rules has not worked up until now. Actions are needed. MLK Jr. came to this same conclusion for the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s.

Ah nice, the ends justify the means? That sure does make things easy for you.

If the cars are a major part of the problem, then the means of directly stopping the problem to indirectly stop the problem because literally everything else has been tried seem pretty justified.

Your logic would say someone who responded to being shot at by disarming the gunman was a thief.

There is no justification for impeding emergency vehicles.

I have no idea what your last sentence means.

If this is the issue then the police could shut down the road and keep cars off it, or enforce the laws stating cars must make room. Protestors impede emergency vehicles less than traffic does.
