Boston Area Highway Blocked by Protesters

In short: Boston-area idiots thought it was a good idea to chain themselves across a busy highway, bringing traffic to a halt, to protest against people who weren’t trying to use the highway. As a result, an ambulance carrying a severely injured car crash victim had to divert to another hospital.

I’m all in favor of the right to protest, but when your protests are aimed at inconveniencing and even endangering the general public, you’re a jackass. Several possibly-legal responcses by the general public to such “direct actions” seem to present themselves:

1) Park stopped vehicles so that the exhausts are Appropriately Oriented. Might be challenging to pull off.

2) According to Weather.com, Boston is currently 28 degrees F. Hence the Supersoaker utility.

3) Depending on snow conditions… a snowblower or snowplow might be able to pile up drifts onto the new snow-fence across the road.

4) Just throw wet blankets over them.
