A group of anti-Trump protesters laying in the middle of a San Francisco street for a “die-in” Wednesday got a rude awakening when a man on a red motorcycle drove through the demonstration.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbl0RasBHoQ

A video of the incident showed the motorcyclist revving his engine and slowly driving through the demonstrators, causing mass panic.

Police asked the biker to stop before he could drive through the wall of people a second time. When the driver did not heed the officers’ calls to stop, one of the officers pulled out a gun and then arrested him, CBS San Francisco reported.

Police say the charges are not determined yet and have not released the biker’s identity.

“He was definitely targeting us,” protest organizer Emily Lee said. “It was unclear if it was for political reasons or if he was just mentally unstable or what, but it was terrifying.”

Nobody was injured in the incident, police say.

The “die-in” in San Francisco was just one of a series of protests put on by anti-Trump protesters who oppose the Republican health care legislation known as the American Health Care Act that is moving through the Senate.

On Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., protesters also conducted a “die-in” outside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office Thursday. Many protesters were dragged out of the building for blocking the hallway to the office.

"mass panic" HA HA HA HA, the only city in the country more brain dead than Seattle. I hate this century.

My God those people.

They get everything they want just because they squawk really loudly.

A "die in" invites all kinds of physical vehicular humor.

Member of "White Privilege Club" tries to run down protesters with motorcycle.

===A member of the “White Privilege Club” social media group was arrested for attempting to run over Trumpcare protesters in San Francisco with his motorcycle.

The motorcyclist drove at high speed directly at a group of demonstrators staging a “die-in” Wednesday afternoon to protest the Republican health care reform bill, reported the San Francisco Chronicle.

Some of the protesters were lying down, blocking Seventh Street near Mission Street for about seven minutes, when the man turned the wrong direction down a one-way street and drove directly toward them.

“He was revving and revving, he was gunning it, aiming at people who were laying down,” said witness Tracey Brieger, of Emeryville.===

One thing we ca tell from this story is that eye witness testimony especially one coming from a Tracey Brieger of Emeryville is not very reliable. Then again, if they got permission to protest, is it still OK for someone to drive through their event? You may not agree with them but imagine if some liberal bickers decided to drive through an "End the fed" protest rally outside some Federal Reserve HQ just because he/she disagreed with the protest reason, would anyone be cheering them on?

I know I wouldn't.

Are those "End the Fed" protesters blocking commerce and other individuals travel just because the state gave them a permit to do so? If so, get the hell out of the road.

This "double standards" thing is a weakness of our wing. If you're fighting, fight! That's it! Don't wring hands and be a git. In war you shoot the enemy, and -- double standard! -- not at me. It's a pretty simple rule: plow down your foes, with friends be cool.

That street was identifying as a sidewalk. What is wrong with you?

[PierzStyx]

It amazes me how so-called libertarians turn right into progressives, sanctioning violence against those they disagree with to force them into acting or thinking differently, when an opposing view comes into play. Initiating violence against any group of people who are not actively trying to harm you is a violation of both the NAP and basic human liberty. If you don't own the street then you don't have a right to drive down it or be violent at others for obstructing your ability to do so. Sure, this form of protest looks pretty dumb. But that doesn't give you the right to initiate violence against them for using their freedom of speech.

Blocking commerce and impeding the right to travel of others is an act of aggression and as such may be met with the minimum force necessary to correct such action. Nothing un-libertarian about wanting to use the road for it's intended purpose. Which is commerce and travel.

There was no violence. He went up to them and stopped. CLEARLY he was not trying to hit any of them, he waited for the red sea to part, then he went through the middle without hitting anybody. He used his engine to scare the shit out of them to move out of the way.

If it was a sidewalk, I would understand, but they are in the middle of the street.

Agree. And the biggest offenders are the Police, who block roads constantly, and often for no good reason.

In before a cruiser. Although it did sound like an after-market exhaust. So there is something in common.

[anaconda]

Damn. Looks like there was AT LEAST 23 people there.

[anaconda]

Looks to me like the guy was just trying to get down the damn street.

[anaconda]

The whistle blowing near the end was very dramatic.

[anaconda]

I think the lady with the microphone invalidated the die-in when she asked if everyone was OK. But God help us. A motorcycle going approximately 8 MPH is a fearsome thing.

[juleswin]

Are those "End the Fed" protesters blocking commerce and other individuals travel just because the state gave them a permit to do so? If so, get the hell out of the road.

I think some of it spilled onto the roads but I am not really sure. But the point about blocking commercial road is not really the issue. There is a bar behind my place who is having a beer festival right now as we speak. They get permission from the state several times in the year to block part of he public road, blocking commerce, personal and joy riders from navigating through that particular road. Now, is it OK for me to ride my vehicle slowing through the event because I can't be arsed to use the detour road provided?

Before you answer, this is a test to see if you are operating using any guiding principles or maybe you are just a partisan hack when it comes to use of public roads.

[juleswin]

I think having double standards is something that affects ones credibility and I still want to hold onto some of that. Like Ron Paul argued during the debate, I would operate using the golden rule and treat them they way I'd want to be treating if I had a permit to protest and was protesting something that was dear to my hear. Yea, in war you shoot at the enemy but this feels more like the raping women and children part than shooting at any enemy.

Btw, do you even support the Trump healthcare bill that they were protesting?

Asshole snowflake, busy asshole-snowflaking, as usual. Note the horse-shit assertion of targeting. Even if he were clearly NOT targeting (most likely true) the delicates, those dishonest little pussies would still say he was in order to see the "state" come down on him as hard as possible.

So once again I ask for the umpteenth time: where does anyone think all of this sort of thing is ultimately heading? Hint: to a choice we will make, whether by concert of effort of will, or by default.


Nobody was injured in the incident, police say.

And yet, asshole cops just had to asshole-cop, as usual, and arrest someone who'd committed no crime.

If only they would do the world the decency of actually dying. That our "systems" actually support this brand of indescribable stupidity is a stain upon us all. And yet, we continue to tolerate "the state". Disgusting beyond disgust.

[Krugminator2]

The forcible occupation of another man’s property or the obstruction of a public thoroughfare is so blatant a violation of rights that an attempt to justify it becomes an abrogation of morality. An individual has no right to do a “sit-in” in the home or office of a person he disagrees with—and he does not acquire such a right by joining a gang. Rights are not a matter of numbers—and there can be no such thing, in law or in morality, as actions forbidden to an individual, but permitted to a mob.


I have no idea what the police would arrest the biker on. He didn't harm or endanger anyone. Clogging up public roads for protests is never okay, even with a permit. There are plenty of other places to protest. And if they didn't have a permit, the police should be tear gassing these people.

[juleswin]

Of course it was "winning".

They were blocking the road...now they are not.

Considering that the road was blocked again seconds after he left, he wasn't going anywhere, he was arrested and most likely be losing money and time in the court system. I don't see how anyone can consider that as a win


This is a bar fight, not an Olympic boxing match...$#@! that "fight fair" nonsense.

Bar fight? more like having a mud wrestle match with a pig. They are protesting the big govt healthcare bill of Trump and in a way, that is what you are supporting by disrupting their protests. It is a no win situation for anyone involved.

See, there you go again, using logic in the argument.

These people are inured to logic.

Normally I would agree, but for the fact that the more vocal members of the progressive left have openly stated they want me, my family, my way of life dead, changes things.

The time for reasoned, nuanced and calmly debated points is over.

So if it takes kicking and gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer, to run them off, so be it.

I'm about as in favor of beer and beer festivals as anyone alive, but they are stealing your money, building a rode on land they took, and then conspiring with a private business to keep you from using it as it was promised to you. It's ridiculous.

Not saying it is right, but at least they get a permit to temporarily use public property for their event, unlike the lawless left.

I'd not thought of it explicitly in that way, but now that I see it in writing, its truth speaks to me in clear voice.

Did the group in OP vid have a permit?

Asking permission from the state to protest the state is the height of silliness. Also, being offended if someone disregards a dumb permit to continue on their travel unabated (assuming no one is injured by the travel) seems like a risk that is taken when it is decided to block a travel route.

To me, protesting in a travel route without a permit and police assistance is a measure of whether you're serious about your issue or just doing a "job".

No I wasn't. That's why I asked if the protestors had a permit or not. The cops stopping and citing the guy makes me think they had a permit and associated police protection. Otherwise they are just blocking traffic and are risking stuff like that happening. The rest of my post was general commentary. Carry on.

These days the cops in the DPRKalifonia aid and abet the lawless left, the left is the new "Nobility" they can do whatever they want and don't have to follow any rules.
