- Author and commentator Douglas Murray reacts to a video of an angry motorist punching a Just Stop Oil protester after the protest allegedly caused a pregnant woman to crash her vehicle.
Removing Stop Oil Protesters by whatever means necessary should be declared a national sport.
Open season, get your tags now.
How about removing CO2 pollution from the air? This could be a greater sport.
I thought the same until I saw a blonde German woman dragging twice a female stop oil protester by the hair like a sack of potatoes, reminding me the countless times I've seen spoilt, privileged, deluded English women becoming violent, something I've always found extremely distasteful and unattractive.
These cultists should be fined with mandatory community work, as well any police superintendent allowing them to roam free, instead of using them as an excuse for our violent tendencies
The bloke that punched the idiot was talking his other half to hospital, as she is pregnant, It could have been a scan, or could have been complications...If it was my wife I would have punched the arrogant protesters out....There's ways of protesting without interfering with others...
@@ahartify it's lazy and arrogant thinking lying on a flat surface will accomplish your lofty goal. If you want to reduce CO2 emissions, you should study the science in depth, and then lobby with other similarly minded knowledgeable people to find alternative solutions and exert your collective influence to implement them.
The level of dishonesty in that woman’s argument is also what infuriates the public. Those people aren’t protesting, they’re harassing the general public.
They are also resulting in more emissions and consumption of oil by forcing the motorists to idle in traffic and not getting to their destination in a timely manner. Removing them from the streets is protecting the environment.
They are basically picking fights with random people, not many would have the guts to try it in a bar but they seem oblivious to the danger they are in.
Cognitive dissonance complete.
Truckers protest = emergency act
Useless college kids that never worked a day in their life=not even police presence removing them. All by design kiddos.
The "protesters" are committing crimes. You are free to protest, but you are not free to break the law while doing so. These nut jobs don't care so why should I?
The real problem is the lack of law enforcement. It is a disgrace.
It's the enabling of Woke law enforcement - which above truth and Justice holds Narrative as the highest value.
The law is clear: You cannot block a public highway. That is a law that dates back hundreds of years.
It is part of the very fabric of the Laws of the UK.... A fundamental, democratic right.
And the Police are negating the obligation.
When you stop or prevent people from going where they want to go, it's not called protesting, it's called kidnapping.
Either kidnapping or unlawful confinement. Both of these are crimes.
an what happens to kidnappers?
This beating never would have happened if the police did their job and stop this restriction of freedom to freely travel
Exactly, at least people who haven't passed the proper ideologically based IQ tests, possess a liberal University education, drives a Tesla (under duress, though, due to Elon Musks buying Twitter), and if they're a member of the LGBTQIA2S community they are excluded from the requirements. POC are as well provided they're sponsored by a member of the Queer Community.
It really can't be that hard to fix can it?
Sort the laws out, a couple of vans on standby and huge fines for disrupting other people's lives perhaps.
Mind you a lot of those that would sook about it on here about it all would likely have supported the pandemic protests so I guess it depends on what you think is important really.
I'm just waiting for the day that they upset someone having a really really bad day and there's a serious incident.
@@oldbloke204 these guys can protest all they like, no one cares ! It’s the fact that they are encroaching on other peoples right to freely travel that is the issue
“It is illegal to obstruct the road. If somebody unlawfully assumes ownership of areas of a road, they are breaking the law. If a person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way wilfully obstructs the free passage along a road, they are also guilty of an offence.”
@@dorianshadesofgray2981 How about the Canadian truckers protest that negatively affected so many or the protests here that basically shut down the areas they were in and encroached on other peoples rights to "freely travel" there?
Wriggle and squirm all you like but the fact is that you agree with one and not the other when they're basically exactly the same behaviour.
Hypocrisy much?
Police inaction is causing this violence
Khan is the police commissioner, he is also chair of C40 he wants the drivers illegally detained.
@@ddoherty5956If they were truckers parked at parliament demanding Justice for the tyranny that took place during the lockdowns….they’d have been beaten by the military long ago and cast as terrorists. Certain groups get a pass to do whatever they want.
@@DucknCoverin They work for the government of the day like BLM and other approved violent protesters
@@DucknCoverin yeah because the people paying them are also paying the Lawyers, Judges, Press and Politicians 😡
Police can't be everywhere constantly at all times. People need to deal with their road rage and uncontrollable anger that leads to them getting violent and criminal and those who protest should refrain from blocking the roads. Alternatively, find a healthier, more efficient way of transport that don't involve driving.
“The violence is unacceptable.”
No, Pierce. I think it’s time to accept the fact that people like this don’t deserve fundamental protections that ordinary citizens do.
I hope that man didn't hurt his hand.
The right to protests stops when you deprive others from their freedom of movement.
Basically its, "Your Rights don't extend to infringe upon others Rights."
Perfect!!!
@@Igor-xl4wz Not a right in uk but a concept
You still can't assault people lol but boys will always be stuck in high school 🤷♀️ soon the whole world will be blind anyway
Protest on the sidewalk,, not the middle of the road. I live in Alberta, Canada and know of many of the people that blocked the Coutts Border Crossing. They were constantly manipulating law enforcement, setting demands that were Mt then instead of leaving, raising the bar and asking for more!! They were enjoying the party that basically made many of the town residents feel trapped and those same people were terrified. The protesters became more & more bold and when advised they had been infiltrated by anarchists (for lack of a better term) who were planning & gathering arms to kill the police. This is all true & accurate. All the while the “protesters” kept raising their “demands! A protester doesn’t issue demands,,, a domestic terrorist does,,,. Ultimately the police took down the subjects planning the bloodbath and the other protesters realized how dangerous it was and subsequently shut down the blockade! Some are truly embarrassed they got caught up in the conspiracy theories that started the movement in the first place. It destroyed many friendships, even separated families due to how extreme the protesters had become. They would brainstorm and develop even more radical theories to somehow justify their illegal blockade.
The police here too messed up and could have stopped it before the protesters had all the trucks and agricultural equipment in place to make a sizeable blockade. They watched them set up. Once a subject starts to infringe on the right of others, break the law, even if it’s traffic obstruction, the police should be taking action immediately. Let the subjects speak about the protest, let those that protest legally do their thing, but any that break the laws are just criminals, minor or otherwise, and need to be dealt with. The police were scared, in my opinion, and didn’t know how to handle the situation. They allowed a molehill become a mountain. These lunatics that whined about a mask somehow taking away their freedom have seriously disrupted the province all the way to the provincial leader!! She’s one of them and officially, now the dumbest Premier this province has ever had,,,,,. It’s ludicrous! Not USA ludicrous, but nonetheless, a terrible situation.
I see this as a retired LEO after 30 years.
When your pregnant wife needs to get to the hospital and is highly stressed, no wonder that guy lost it.
Exactly vi was thinking the same thing.
First of all, they shouldn't do that in the streets where there is traffic, because you would find a murderer who is going to run you over. People aren't that smart these days. I tell you, if you do that here, someone will run you over. The streets are for cars, not for doing this. Someone is going to kill you with a car, and then they will say the driver is guilty. NO, you sought death. I know they are protesting, but go to the government office or building to protest. Don't blame people who go to work, who want to take their children to school or pick them up, maybe they are in daycare who knows. The drivers are trying to get back to their daily routine. Imagine someone having a life or death emergency, and that person dies, because of these protesters who are blocking the streets? Gentleman. Please, you have to love each other in life. I'm smart enough not to get in the way of cars. Someone is going to die!
@a.m.2066 While they're incredibly stupid and selfish, you can't go around smashing people. Realistically, this is just a failure on the government.
Agreed.!..I would have done the same.
I watched the video & they seemed to be going in the other direction, hit by a van.
Hundreds of millions will die if we don't change course.thats the kind of response you get from these totally brainwashed morons.that is one stupid individual climate change only exists to make certain people very rich
Everybody has the right to speak their mind. What they don’t have the right to do is ram their opinion down someone’s throat or through their actions disrupt the lives of others in trying to force their opinions.
At the very least, that is a form of bullying.
Indeed. Just terrorize others in doing what you want them to do. The filth of society.
So we bully them back ! An eye for an eye ...... 🙂
Douglas Murray is absolutely brilliant. I could listen to his views for hours. If only we had more people in power and politicians with his views and willing to move upon them, our society would be far better off.
He’s completely wrong tho. The stop oil is right about the consequences, they are just completely wrong how they go about it. No one supports them. Doesn’t mean they are wrong .
"Free speech" is not BLOCKING TRAFFIC, DAMAGING PROPERTY, BURNING INNER CITIES and OTHERWISE DISRUPTING SOCIETY FOR A RELIGIOUS BELIEF YOUDUMBBITCH.
There is absolutely nothing the a 0.01% change in atmospheric CO2 could do that the 5% to 100% atmospheric water vapor (the most abundant and powerful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) wouldn't have already done.
Douglas is only partially awake. He thinks the 2020 election wasn't suspiciously, statistically improbable in its outcome. 😂
Just because you may be intelligent, or considered as an intellectual, as some delusional people consider Murray to be, doesn't make you a good human being, and Murray is far from that! He is a horrible person, and disturbingly, a dangerous and sinister one!!
@@damedusa5107 then they should go protest in China with very high CO2 emissions.
The motorist is a hero.
Agreed. Maybe normal people should make this the default reaction.

I'm always at a loss as to why these morons never protest at football league matches, hmm it's a mystery for sure! (Yes, that is loaded with irony).
I would willingly pay to watch to watch JSO twats at any number of grounds and watch how a bunch of old time 70's hooligans would deal with this lot.
Come on JSO, the football season starts soon, you're all big and brave at snooker, golf, tennis events and throwing paint in museums etc, lets see how much you truly believe in your cause😂.
The police are absolutely to blame for this, and any other similar incident.
JSO are to blame
I suspect the police have been told not to get involved for fear of escalation.
@@sahhull Yes but the police seem to be supporting them in their illegal protests.
it is escalating for the worse public sick of them@@cyberpleb2472
Police follow orders. Can't really blame them.
What a ridiculous young woman! Constantly coming in between. Not letting people finish their sentences. A BIG SHAME to her parents. She's just there to stand in the spotlight. Hope she doesn't earn a salary for being so obnoxious and tasteless...
She should stand on the street corner in a mini and fishnet stockings.
I feel the only mistake he made was not covering his face.
The most important concept of liberalism is, that your freedom stops where freedom of somebody else starts. They are not liberals, they are terrorists.
Spot on.
They are domestic terrorists , and they are holding the country to ransom. I can't imagine sitting in front of the truck , thinking that the drivers will not hurt them. As people are very angry. I don't blame the drivers.
I agree in principle, but terror seems a bit much. These floppy twisted, soy guzzlers couldn’t scare a child.
Can we refer to them as ‘inconveniencists’,
Well stated!
@indigocheetah4172 they're not people, they're fleshy speed bumps, and they need reminding that they are not indestructible
When you put extraordinary effort into provoking people, you shouldn't be surprised when you eventually succeed.
This woman is like the protesters .. won't keep quiet . Keeps butting in .. it's Piers show .. he says when you speak ..
Yes, she is just like those vile protesters. A total waste of good air.
He's not a furious motorist. He's a "Just Stop Blocking Traffic" activist!!
I like that one. So true.
Very good , do you sell tee shirts lol
😁😁
Nope.. he's just the -- Motorious 😅
I think he's a member of JSS: Just Stop Stupidity.
Best way to deal with this is to stand the police down and allow the public to sort it out.
from my gutt, i think the same. i really do. but even with a police impotent and/or unwilling, we still should be bloody thankful that we do not live in a society where stuff is handled that way.
@@hiddenwoodsben: Some psychopath will always take it too far.
Cheerio...do that!!
Disband them and give job to veterans
@@DJVIIIMan And that's why the police should be dealing with this properly. The longer they leave it, the longer they turn a blind eye, the more frustrated the public will get. Emotions will boil over, even with people who are usually calm, and accidents are bound to happen. The 'do nothing' attitude of the police is going to lead to injuries, even deaths.
Personally I find it worrying that we obviously have more people out there with Mental health issues than we thought. 😢
That's what happens, when you close down asylums and let mental cases roam the streets. It's funny....because its true.
Yes that is a great point, the police should detain them for psychological evaluation before they are allowed back in public. 🤣😂🤣😂
Woke culture in USA, and now these insan cult in europe. 😂😂😂 Damn.
Anyone else see the weird correlation between the decriminalization of hard drug use...and the sudden rise in "mental health issues"?
That wasn’t violence. It was justice.
I'm so done with people like that woman saying "millions are going to die if we don't do something now!" without knowing the first thing about our planet
Nor do they have a clue about basic economy nor will give up their fancy tech and "emission friendly" cars which do more environmental damage than others, gotta get them likes on Twitter after all.

@@rustyhowe3907 The problem is that many around the world, especially in America who are on the political left have invested tons of their money, in many instances, nearly ALL of their family fortunes into a failed Green Tech Philosophy and Programs. They are taking huge losses and the only way they can recoup is to mandate these flawed Green Tech Programs into action and make them the "Law of the Land".
They did this thinking Clinton would win in 2016 and push hard for Green Tech Mandates before the general public realized how flawed they really are. The Democrats HATE the fact that most of the world's oil is controlled by people who are mostly Conservative by nature. "Energy" is the last and the most powerful area that they don't control and they are big mad about it.
If the garbage threats about "Man-made Climate Change" are real and the oceans are rising every day then why would ALL of the "elites" on the Political Left (Democrats) who are screaming about this coming true, spending tens of millions of dollars buying beachfront property during the last 10-15 years??? According to Al Gore, ALL of this beachfront property was already supposed to be underwater LOLOLOLOL.
@@rustyhowe3907Pretty much 100% factually incorrect. Denying virtually all research, presumably going la, la, la when the weatherman is telling you the jet stream has been moved permanently by the polar ice cap melting and the news is predominantly comprised of forest fires on more than one continent and several islands. Will your own arse have to spontaneously combust before the penny drops with you?
As for your incorrect views on electric cars, you need to accept that virtually all of your beloved oil guzzlers will be history quite soon. Only electric cars are being made other than the last hurrahs from the super car makers. Hydrogen might follow but for now it’s electric. Read a bit about Norway.
You can huff and puff all you like but ULEZ will extend…and save many lives…, car and plane and cruise liner use will reduce and Piers Morgan will become an even more silly moaner. And those brave souls protesting now are as right as you are wrong.
No, Piers, you are wrong. Most people would not think it's unacceptable to punch these idiots anymore.
Oh you
Exactly. Anyone that is stopping you from getting to your job and preventing you from making the money you need to support your family is directly attacking you. You have every right to fight back.
A particular act is not going to be justified in all cases, but the JSO people are comitting assault, and there can be a response to an assault. Force has to be reasonable, and non-escalating, etc... Just loosing your mind when you top out is not probably going to meet the standard. Ideally private security could be hired by some fund raising and could respond to these widespread criminal acts that are causing localized pollution, and property loss. Apparently the police aren't interested, and possibly some law suits for unequal enforcement of the law should be considered.
To me, NOT punching them is unreasonable and unacceptable behaviour.
People have gotten to comfortable with not getting a punch in the mouth, what you get when people act like words almost killed them, a punch in the mouth a day keeps the woke away.
Now I know why people prefer to evade taxes rather than pay them.

You can of course also be a bit demanding at times but she was just chaotically puking her emotions out. The conversation was going in order before her childish demeanor disrupted it.
These protesters should be behind bars.

Protest yes, in the middle of the road no. Simple.
Now the real question is, do people have a right to protest with a fist on other people's faces. As long as it is for a good cause, of course.
@@rexsceleratorum1632 I just stated their rights. A fist in the face is a reaction to their actions. Lol. Oops!
_"The violence he commits is unacceptable"_
His wife is pregnant, these protesters have (apparently) led to them being involved in a car crash, for all this guy knows the impact of the crash means his wife will be in A&E later that evening miscarrying their child . . . so sure, you might think his actions are unacceptable, but for all he knows these idiots may well have killed his child, an outburst of violence seems perfectly normal given the circumstances, I would've done the same.
Understandable, but still unacceptable in a civilised society. It should be treated like a crime of passion and a judge should treat it as such and have compassion and leniency, but the law applies to everyone and in every circumstance. We are encountering just this kind inequality in how justice is dispensed, currently because certain minorities are given softer punishments because of " trauma", "oppression" and "mental health issues" which just seems to encourage this entitled behaviour. In Britain, the law is supposed to apply to all " Without fear or favour" and despite his situation, it's still illegal to assault someone. I hope he gets a compassionate judge and that those infantile " protesters" get prison time. But blurring the strict guidelines of a civilised society on behalf of feelings, no matter how righteous, is not the way, we see evidence of that coming hellscape, because these people use feelings to justify criminal acts. No one should above the law.
A perfect situation for the quote "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty".
@@elizabethanthony3916 What about people being detained during the pandemic for being out in the streets? What privilege do these people have to ruin someone's day?

You can protest and that’s not the issue. The issue is that you cannot protest in a manner that stops society from functioning. That’s the point!
Yeah we know why the marxist leftists in our midst are allowing and encouraging it though.
How ridiculous weve allowed it to get like this without even a fight?
I am on the fence of that. Because protests are meant to disrupt things else government can and will just ignore it. But then at the same time it needs to be a real issue and not this BS and needs more widespread support
That's the point to stop society cogs in motion and have them focus on values that matter the earth the planet u live on matters if it has enough of us one day earth will get rid of us we caused enough dmg that it's aware just like the damn dinosaurs except there was a lot of heavy dinos so much that asteroids would come hit earth more often
@NightStalkerDNS to add, disruption should take place in the area of conflict, not pain people that are not the issue. Go protest at Shell, BP whatever locations they have. Go protest in front of parlement to bring attention to the problem closer to politics.
Shit like this can literally kill people if they need to go to the hospital and get stuck. It can stop someone from having a final moment with a dying dear one while not having any positive influence to a greener future. Ridiculous
She knows perfectly well what the point is , everybody with half a brain knows , but chooses to be the annoying , inaccurate little S she is. Morgan is way to lenient with her , so she can articulate her ridiculous comments.
You have a right to protest. Why don't you have a right to defend?
Once upon a time, long, long ago people understood that rights have limits. It was best stated in the axiom "Your right to swing your arms ends where my nose begins". Your right to protest does not extend to defacing private property or impeding someone's right to freedom of movement.
Lady is trying her best to misdirect and change the narrative without realizing everyone can see through her bs.
They said quite clearly that no one’s against protesting. She clearly wasn’t listening.
These “ladies” think they have to speak really quickly, loudly and aggressively to get their point across but they just don’t have the ability to calmy hold their opinions like for instance Douglas Murray who I have never seen raise his voice or aggressively shout down another guest or the show presenter.

@@Station9.75they do not have to protest in the middle of the road do they.
The problem is not that they are protesting, it’s that they are physically trapping people. Sure, they aren’t toally trapped because they can abandon their vehicle but Imagine if someone trapped you on the sidewalk and the only way to get away was to leave your shoes and phone behind. This is a form of false imprisonment.
Excellent framing!
Well you don't really want to spend too much time in the open in London, it's like being in a tin of overly violent sardines haha!
Corporal punishment in these circumstances shouldn't just be legal, it should be rewarded.
Not a bad thought. However, the Canadian trucker protest may also be considered blocking people, or essentially protesting in similar ways that the right has now condemned. How do we draw a principled line? I don’t want to give people like Trudeau the moral justification to punish protestors just because they block roads and cause inconvenience to fellow citizens. Perhaps these oil protestors should be allowed to do wha they want? I promise, even if life sucks for a while, for some people who get trapped on the road, these antics will backfire, and such tactics will become unattractive once more angry citizens decide to commit violence against them. Those citizens ought to see proper punishment for such violent actions, and we should not gloat about it.
These protesters don't care about other people only their cause, the government recently brought in rules that said as long as they keep moving it's ok to protest, at least this stops them gluing themselves to the road. I'm ok with them at the side of the road but they know that would not have the same impact, they know we would just ignore them lol.
When the police don't step in. Then they need to let the people who are taking care of these cry babies, keep doing it.
It's not protesting, its terrorism
Man had a pregnant lady and needed to get somewhere. Protestors stopping them from getting to doctors
If that was my wife and my unborn baby, I'd make sure my 5000 lb vehicle would slowly but surely move them out of the way. Mark me.
Any normal person who values their loved ones in this situation would gladly use violence against these climate activist, I know I would and I would gladly suffer the consequences afterwards. Imagine doing that to an off duty cop, they would snap you no questions asked.

"All I want to do is highlight the fact"...... No that isn't all they wanted to do . They also wanted to block traffic and annoy people. She acts as if blocking the traffic is an unintended side effect when that is what they were specifically there to do.
They are not highlighting any facts. Stop pretending there is anything valid behind the climate cult.
motorists are killing millions of people.. the slow sure poisoning of this planet .. when you can't breathe, blame a motorist
Sue the organization itself into oblivion. A class action lawsuit filed by every person that had been affected/impacted by these protesters should curb the disruption on the motorways.
Youre not gonna get anyone to agree with you or even give you the light of day, if the first thing you do to them is annoy the shit out of them.
That man had to bring his child to a doctor's appointment.. how dare piers defend the extreme danger these people are putting innocent peoples lives in danger...
Piers has a boss. I suspect Piers says much worse things off air and he does personally condone this specific punch. But his boss won’t let him say that because in his position in a court of law it could be painted as starting shit.
@@allytrudie864 i second that. just watch how he gleefully tears into these folks whenever he get's the chance, but physical violence just is a non-starter (and we (still) should be thankful for that (even though i personally think these people could really profit from a good whooping))
piers is left extremist and woke capitan what do you expect

Douglas Murray is so brilliant...so rational and clear headed. Good on him!
A message for those of you who wish to tolerate violence towards these peaceful people. Are you also in favour of starting violence upon people who are polluting the planet and slowly poisoning us ? Are you in favour of violence upon those who buy cars because they intend to risk accidents upon us and to pollute our planet ? Are you also in favour of starting violence upon those who drink alcohol and go out driving their cars ? are you in favour of starting violence upon those who speed and are reckless ? Are you in favour of starting violence on doctors who are striking right now instead of saving lives ? No you are not, you are just a little coward who wants to start violence on a group of people who have committed to peaceful non-violent protest.
If Mike Tyson became a just stop oil protester and walked slowly in front of your car will you drag him off the road...course you wont because you will get your arse handed to you, so u only do it because you can physically intimidate the protesters not because you are angry. If it was justifiable anger you would alao drag Mike Tyson off the road too wouldnt you?

@@sixmillionsilencedaccounts3517that doesnt make him wrong, there is an important difference in the political context
That man had every right to punch the terrorist who endangered a pregnant woman. Every country needs a people who can handle situations like this without government interference, because a population dependent on the government is under that government’s thumb.
That woman needs to learn to speak when spoken to.
I could easily see Grace losing it on one of those protesters if she was taking a family member to the hospital and they were preventing her from getting there
God can you imagine that Head Prefect voice shrieking in your ear.. I'd be moving out of the road for sure..
Those are nothing more than adult tantrums. Children do it by irrational crying and screaming and adults do it by irrational narcissisms and protests.
Actually it's terrorists
I've always found protests very childish and immature. It's really like adults throwing tantrums.
@@Leanzazzy I'm pretty sure they were spoiled by somebody in their childhood.
There are No Men in these protests. Oh, there might be some males but real Men sort out and fix problems. You don't like Oil being used? Then figure out a way to use less of it or an alternative to oil. Protesting or demanding others use less isn't useful.
Exactly how do thugs do it? Seems it is by lashing out at legal protesters.
If you tear long enough at the seams of a modern legal society, don't be surprised if you loose it and its protective environment.
Police seem more interested in stopping drivers from assaulting protesters, than stopping protester from obstructing traffic !! Makes No Sense At All !!
They are not just standing around telling people their opinions, they are blocking traffic, impeding people's ability to go about their business
They are 100% breaking the law. And there is no valid reason at all why this small fringe group is being treated with kid gloves and aren't all arrested or at least ticketed. When society sees one person or group getting away with crimes, they are going to wonder why they can't get away with breaking the law too. It's supposed to be the main reason why we have governments and police.
@@joelwillems4081 The more they're allowed to get away with the more they will try to get away with.
@@joelwillems4081 fully on board with you here but what law is it they are breaking? is it the Public order Act 2023? I think some have been given fines but I'm not sure if it's for blocking traffic

Too right, stopping emergency vehicles, threatening life but don't react, let them do what they like, when they like to whom they like.
funny how just before that lady got all worked up, Piers was saying how people like her get way to emotional on this topic and she proved the point within seconds
Well yeah, she’s a woman. What did you expect?
@@lawrencetalbot8346 Nothing wrong with being passionate - it always annoys me when people want to bring others down like this. The issue was she's too damn dumb to see the difference between protesting off the street and protesting on it.
@@chrispekel5709 yes, she hides her ignorance behind her "passion". This is why passion isn't useful if you have no strong fundamentals. I can PASSIONATELY play any sport, but if I don't have a base of skills and knowledge, I will absolutely suck at whatever I'm attempting to do.
So yeah, the problem is using passion as your sole resource, ignoring things like logic and rule of law.
The country is falling apart, teachers / train drivers / nhs are all going on strike, oil protestors blocking the roads, immigration at its highest. And guess what it effects all the everyday individuals just trying to mind their own business, earn a living and just generally survive.
They should get automatic jail time for possibly prohibiting emergency vehicles from helping people.
The motorist should be put in jail and piers
Committing crimes should stop being called protests. I could watch them get punched all day.
Hell yes
It can be a new national sport.
Video games
I come to the clips to watch them get punched. They make me want to burn more oil.
"Free speech" is not BLOCKING TRAFFIC, DAMAGING PROPERTY, BURNING INNER CITIES and OTHERWISE DISRUPTING SOCIETY FOR A RELIGIOUS BELIEF YOUDUMBBITCH.
There is absolutely nothing the a 0.01% change in atmospheric CO2 could do that the 5% to 100% atmospheric water vapor (the most abundant and powerful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) wouldn't have already done.

Time to fightback! Enough is enough of these protesting freaks!
If I am driving down a public street, and I am stopped by a gang of angry people and not allowed to pass, then I will handle it like a potential carjacking or robbery. I will defend myself, and if necessary drive through the criminals.
Be prepared for 30 years in prison with booty bandits and gangs. We need to organize too, but then they will call us neo-ulta-something.
and then you will go to jail because you've allowed yourselves to be ruled by lunatics
Amen brother
Sure you will 🙄
Exactly you were in fear for your life, so you have to get out of that situation really fast.
One way you can do it is to plow through these people and then go directly to the hospital and tell them you were having chest pains and had to get to the hospital fast and they were blocking you.
If the police will not enforce the social contract that we all tacitly agree to then why shouldn't people take things into their own hands ...
That is probably exactly what the powers-that-be are hoping for.
Because it's a crime.
Because when they do stop it you blue haired weirdo’s cry for months on end 😂😂😂😂😂
Social contract is a far-left ideal. There is no social contract. People have a right to move freely.
There is no social contract ...
As we say here in the USA, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” Also, the consequences for these “protesters” in certain would be much more severe in certain non-western countries.
Yeah, try that in China and it was the last thing your mother ever knew of you.
That punch should have been from the fools parents years ago. 🤘😝🤘
Personally, I think the right to protest ends when they are hindering the lives of others. Get off the street. Protest on the damn sidewalk. People can still see the message. But they also have the right to reject that message.
Give them a break. Their message is too stupid to pay attention to unless it's physically smashed into your face. Arrested development precludes the employment of persuasion; tantrums are the height of rhetoric in the anti-enlightenment.
@juliesteimle3867 -- They don't go on the 'sidewalk' BC like spoiled immature children, they don't want to bring a discussion about their message, they want to FORCE people to accept / adopt the message IMMEDIATELY and will continue until it happens.
You are correct....but these moron think that they have the right to force their opinions on everyone because they believe they are right and everyone else is wrong and they are going to force everyone to listen to their stupidity.
A protest is designed to cause disruption for goodness sake.
That's how it sends a message but there is actually never ever justification for violence, and shame on anyone for suggesting otherwise
His reaction was 100% acceptable!
Is violence upon motorists going to be acceptable. They kill thousands every year, they are slowly killing millions on the planet.
There is another video out there, where a woman grabbed a female Just Stop Oil protestor, and pulled her off the street by her hair. And she didn't do it once, but multiple times. I don't think I've cheered watching a TH-cam video before that one.
@@madganser Motorists are killing people and realise now that they must stop. They are getting frustrated because they cannot have their way. Having seen this violence I will join JSO and advise them to start using cars to slow traffic so that they can keep themselves safe whilst trying to stop motorists from killing us all
Don't get me wrong, people have a right to peacefully protest but not when it infringes on another person's rights. When people get a physical reminder, black eye, swollen lip etc., they'll think twice before they go back for a second dose.
@@madganserLOL I saw that one it was hilarious! 🤣
In America you have the right to Peaceably protest. This means not blocking, harrasing, touching , or screaming in peoples faces. Otherwise off to jail you go for inviting a riot which is illegal and punishable by law.
_"The violence he then commits is unacceptable and most people would agree with that."_ Uh, no Piers, most people would say it is absolutely warranted. They were given every opportunity to clear the lanes of traffic. They were given every opportunity to avoid violence. They chose the violence. They deserve what they got. Good on him.
Agree with you. Piers was just speaking 'politically correct' there. I hate that nonsense.
Oh my god it is insufferable when people like her just interject and talk over others. She literally started more comments during OTHER peoples' turns to speak than talking on her own turn.

She's so disillusioned by her own thoughts that she is completely missing the point and for this I honest to god hope she has like the biggest delay in her routine from something like this so she can get a taste of what she thinks it's right or wrong
She can only be this bratty about it probably because _she_ hasn't had to deal with this issue in her daily routine yet but man is she just annoying af
And her voice ratchets down the back of my spine
She should go stand in the road... Maybe the right person will come along, and make her lip swell up.
She couldn't get a word in, they didn't give her chance
This is all they have.
Freedom of Speech and Right to Protest are not the same things as disrupting the functioning of a city and ruining the lives of bystanders. Imagine if I was mad at an Oil company and instead of attacking the oil company, I attacked the attendants at a store because the story has products that have oil in them.
I don't have to imagine, that's exacly what's happening. What's more, they're destroying OIL paintings - which oil is made from linseed btw.
Wilful ignorance is their only defence.
@@Dude0000Ignorance is not the same as willful stupidity!
Ever heard of Canadian truckers? I'm sure both these guys supported them.
They forgot that sidewalks exist and cars standing still cost fuel
His outrage is justified! At the same time, disrupting everyday behavior is part of a good protest.
The woman named Grace exemplifies what constitutes a "pet peeve"! She needs to wait for her turn to talk! Better yet, don't give her a turn.
They can protest on the sidewalk, there's no need to block a road & enrage drivers. I have no sympathy for these clowns if they're punched. Cops also should be doing their dam job
Harsh
Dont forget to vote for more fossil fuels at the next election as revenge
You have to question why are they doing this to the public when we have no power to make any changes why aren't they doing this outside if Westminster where they have the power to make changes

Just lock them up! No one condones violence, but if they stopped me taking my family to the hospital, I would be committing violence
dont speak for others i do condone violence as do many others by what they have said here so your statement is a blatant lie
Violence is the first and only answer when defending yourself and your own family especially children and grandchildren. No copper or lavender judge will ever move me from that position.
Protest against the people that make money of oil, not against yourselves!! We are the people, all of us, the government is not!
If a woman in labor was having a breech baby, and she and the baby perished because they didn't get to a hospital, will the "protesters" be charged with murder? They should be.
I agree with Douglas Murry, no one "just wants to bring attention" to an issue, they also want attention for themselves at the cost of every other person trying to survive and live. It is horribly selfish and idiotic.
Yep. It's the modern "ME!ME!ME!" movement.
Sounds like narcissism in a nutshell. That dumb f3fail needs to stay home and clean the nut off of her face.
I wonder if Douglas Murray feels the same way about the Freedom Convoy and their protests.
@@SilverMaple106 Well those truckers have the duty of supplying your food so if you are gonna harm their constitutional rights then they should disrupt your life. It is a different situation.
@@murraymcgregor7829 How did the citizens of Ottawa disrupt the constitutional rights of truckers and their allies from all across Canada?
Don't blame the motorists in the least. This is what these idiots need. The public standing up for themselves.
And no Piers most of us don't agree with you on this. I'm right with the man who punched the daylights out of the protester for endangering his pregnant partner. Threatening two lives. Enough is enough.
I'm surprised that a few more of these morons haven't had their lights punched out
You need to stop justifying violence. The right is getting very violent.
Punched? Wasn’t it a kick in the head.
Kick, punch, slap, take it like a man. Or don't be a dick.
The police and government are spurring these disruptive incidents on by doing absolutely nothing!
The JSO idiots are endangering the lives and livelihoods of people by sitting in the middle of the road.
Of course the drivers are going to take matters into their own hands and someone WILL get killed because law enforcement did nothing!
I just hope it’s not a driver or passenger who pays the ultimate price for this stupidity.
"Most people would agree violence against that man is unacceptable." Wrong. Terrorist only speak one language, violence.
It's harassment not protesting, they should be treated as so. Charge convicted & imprisoned . They would be bumper stickers if it was my family needing medical attention
Violence is not always the answer. But sometimes it is. 😂😅😂😅😂
Well violence it's never an answer but it's a logical reaction & understandable for the frustration that motorists have towards these entitled know-it-all crybabies. I agree w/ many of the comments that it's the Police not doing their jobs that's the problem. What do you think about this: The Police arrest the protesters & they serve their jail time & are accessed a fine. Once they've served their time, they're released from jail only to be sent to a mental ward for a psychological assessment regarding their 'Suicidal Tendencies'. So they become wards of the State & have to pay a percentage of their stay. That gives the State a reason to retain these people...for their own 'safety'. I think it's justifiable & legal. You?

Not using someone's pronouns is considered an act of violence to these zealots. Locking people up not being able to see their loved ones before they died was seen as compassionate and a necessary act to save no one from an inferior virus that had no more affect on the nation than the common cold.
Violence is often the answer, take a look through history. Every major change has been achieved through violence
@@carmiethompson2676No. sometimes violence is the answer, that is true for humans and it’s true for all the other animals in the animal kingdom. No amount of leftist utopia will ever trump nature, and violence is nature.

they wont block their own road they stay or damage their own property or stop their own entertainment they are really sad people and I bet they would hate to be stopped getting to appointments or they dont go on any hols or cycle every where and have they all got electric cars hypocrites
Violence is a strange word.
There is a time and a place for awareness campaigns or “protests.” Blocking traffic, trains, disrupting spectacles, interrupting sporting events and vandalizing priceless artworks gets you the complete opposite and only makes these individuals the enemies of the public.
Sometimes, people need a physical reminder of why it’s not a good idea to disrupt and antagonise. This physical reminder landed squarely in the face. And, I’m not empathetic to the person who copped it!
Well said
And if he hit a waman?
