What I meant is that the people they're blocking on the street are not the people they're protesting against. The random dude in his car in the photo, for example, didn't enact a bunch of tyrannical bullshit so why is he getting fucked over? He's already having his day-to-day screwed by the tyrannical government so why is double screwing him by blocking the street the correct action in the situation? It's already hard enough for people to do anything without other people blocking the street.
Rules for thee but not for me is what this sounds like to me. The rules only apply when they're convenient. When they aren't they're simply ignored. Sounds like the exact same way BLM thinks.
We have rules and laws for a reason. Blocking the streets while protesting is either okay or not okay. The reason is irrelevant and the rules apply to everybody the same. If it's allowed then BLM blocking the streets is fine. The only remaining problem was the violent nature of their "protests'.
To expand, It doesn't matter if your protest is valid or not (e.g. the people protesting in the OP vs BLM riots), blocking the streets only fucks over other people who did nothing wrong and may even agree with your protest. If you want to block a road that only the government (or whoever else you're protesting against) uses to prevent them from doing whatever they might be doing that's one thing, but why fuck over your fellow citizens by blocking the regular roads they use?

It's hard for you but hopefully when you grow up it gets worse.now run on home before its dark.
That isn't a counterargument.
