You originally asked me to provide evidence that he wasn't blocking traffic.

Now I am asking you to provide evidence that he was.

And if what he was doing was illegal, why was it only him and one other person that got arrested for walking there? If you get the leader the followers are allowed to continue breaking the law?

I did what you asked and provided the evidence you wanted. And I've been respectful towards you about it.

Now again, provide evidence to me that he was blocking traffic.

I gave you a time (roughly four minutes in) in which he got arrested. Give me a time in the video when he was blocking traffic.

Protesting is a protected right even if you wanna give it a different name to make it seem differently.

Yes, and noone denied anyone's right to assemble and protest. This specific assembly was clearly blocking traffic, which is not a protected right. Blocking traffic is a tactic that BLM has adopted in their protests. When they do this, they know that they risk being arrested - this is a conscious choice. It is civil disobedience. It's not a "different name," it's the specific term that best describes what they are doing.

Roughly the entire time prior to roughly 4 minutes in. Note the magical lack of cars in the lane, and the arrested gentleman being in said lane for the bulk of the time.

Crazy, right? What is more likely:
a) It was a pedestrian lane
b) cars were not in the lane because asshats like this gentleman were in the lane

So because someone blocked traffic, arrest the guy that wasn't blocking traffic?

I didn't see him block traffic one time in the video. But you aren't arguing in good faith so I'm just going to assume that you don't care.

Standing in front of traffic so that it can't get through, which would require standing in a lane on the road.

Something he did not do.

Cars are not allowed to drive where he was standing.

Video clearly shows him walking in the middle of said lane.
Video clearly shows traffic not using said lane due to people being in said lane.

Even though I don't see what you are seeing (I even see cars driving past him in the video), I'll humor you.

Shortly before he got arrested, the police told him if he stepped in the street again he would be arrested. He did not step in the street from that point on, which means he complied with the officers' demands.

So what was he arrested for? He did exactly what he was told.

E: There was also a cop driving against traffic trailing him.

Gotcha.

Your argument is like a car accident of the very kind BLM blocking roads might cause. You've managed to create such a terrible and pedantic narrative that you have turned those generally sympathetic to your ideas against you. It's almost like you have multiple lanes of traffic open to you, rhetorically, and you blocked off all but the shittiest one.

Re Dallas Shooter Once again sexual harassment or domestic violence is one of the red flags in the background of a mass shooter. Anyone convicted of one of these offences should have their ability to own guns stricken off without meeting some difficult standard of good behaviour and honouring restraining order and be willing to apply and pay for a current license.

These kinds of restrictions, for example, would be completely legal under the 2nd Amendment as interpreted by people like Justica Scalia even.

Yeah, but you'd have to actually be convicted of something, not just accused. Wouldn't have helped in this case.

he seems pretty clearly to be on the shoulder. there were some people walking in the lanes early in the video though.

Screenshot the actual points and point it out to each other unless you two just want to circlejerk onto each other about who did what like what Concerned Citizen did. Walking in the shoulder is clearly not in traffic, but is potentially still technically a traffic hazard.

I think they should protest on streets with sidewalks. It'd be safer for them.

The guy was pretty obviously wandering back and forth over the line at the beginning of the video. He starts on the shoulder but when he turns around at the 30 second mark the solid line marking the shoulder is to his left meaning he's at least partially in the right most lane

yeah I mean half the protest was occupying a lane, that's why the cops showed up in the first place. then they got everyone to move onto the shoulder. i don't really know why they arrested the guy since and the others had been following their orders.
