Just Stop Oil protester punched and kicked

[MolteniArcore]

The story behind it (according to social media) is the guys heavily pregnant wife ended up crashing her car due to the slowdown of the traffic when the protestors came onto the road .. Although it doesn't excuse his behavior - it's not a simple case of "man loses it over protestors"

I saw the car which looked at an angle, at the other side of the road of the protesters. So was it a load of rubberneckers slowing the traffic? Either way, if the pregnant wife can’t stop her car safely without crashing in the busiest city in the country maybe she shouldn’t be on the road?

And his reaction is beyond pathetic. Imagine if we all did that in a stressful situation? I hope he goes to jail for that.

I'd do what I did when I lived and worked down there. I'd use public transport.

Exactly.

Try living, working or driving around London for a few weeks and then tell me if you want to fund more protests like this

I do, and I do - I also dont want vigilantes walking round the city booting people in the head.

 

[parmoboy]

It's disgusting behaviour and I hope the individual involved is prosecuted.

At the same time, what I can't understand is, instead of causing criminal damage everywhere, why don't they just mass-up and vote for the Greens next election, surely that'll have a bigger impact?

She ended up crashing her car, and that's their fault is it ? So if my wife crashes her car, then I'm free to boot the person she claims caused the crash in the head - brilliant.

after the dreadful few years everybody has haas the last thing you need is these people causing further disruption to our lives. Obviously the guy went over the top but the public should make it uncomfortable for these people - they have no empathy for what others are going through and are a self righteous bunch of clowns - what if the fellas wife lost her baby - There are many ways they could protest which doesn’t involve upsetting other peoples lives.

I have no idea how these people think they can win the hearts and minds of the nation and get people on side whilst they block roads and cause disruption to normal people going about their daily lives. They are both as stupid as each other in my book.

 

[Redka]

The bloke is an absolute coward, attacking someone posing no threat to him and also much smaller.

Total scumbag.

If it takes a couple of good hidings to let these people know what they are doing is wrong then so be it.

They were on the opposite side of the road

Genius from him if true as he’ll now more than likely miss his baby’s birth.

Idiot.

I‘m alright Jack eh?

I‘m alright Jack eh?

What does that even mean - nobodies alright are they - one fellas got a bad head? The others had a fight with his wife and is in trouble with the police and has crashed his car!

 

[JM14]

Of course I would, they have my full support.

Easy to say when you aren’t caught up in it. Wonder how many times being late for work, missing trains, flights etc it would take to change your mind. Guessing not very many

 

[JM14]

I'd do what I did when I lived and worked down there. I'd use public transport.

But they are also stopping public transport…

 

[Aet290204]

I‘m alright Jack eh?

No. Reads more to me like he’s saying they should stand accountable for their actions

They are winding people up deliberately - so some will react like this fella. Im not condoning it btw.

 

[SuperStu]

Should be for both sides, complete idiots who need to be prosecuted

Ridiculous opinion. Give your head a wobble.

Fund?

I don't know why you're asking me .. take it up with the guy .. nothing to do with me. I'm just providing context to what went on.

 

[JM14]

Ah yes, let’s make it perfectly acceptable to just block the roads every time we don’t agree with a government policy. Sure that will work out perfectly fine for all of us

 

[Funky_Chicken]

But they’re punishing the wrong people by sitting in the middle of the road, these people are trying to get to work, no wonder they get angry. Why don’t they go block Sunak an Co’s driveways - or better still go to China, who couldn’t give a flying feck about carbon emissions, and protest about all their hundreds of coal powered power stations. Guaranteed you wouldn’t see them again if they did
