BLM protesters detain pregnant woman on way to hospital
2020-07-28
[PRESSCALIFORNIA] San Luis Obispo, Calif. — After blocking traffic on Highway 101 in Central Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Black Lives Matters activists ignored the pleas of a motorist to take a pregnant woman in labor to a nearby hospital.The BLM group, rather than allowing the distressed family pass through the blockade, wanted instead to "have a conversion" about race issues.

The following video, posted this week by Cal Coast News, shows protesters asking the occupants of the vehicle whether the woman’s water broke or not.

"She is going to give birth," another woman in the pickup truck pleads. "Get out of the road."

Protest organizer Tianna Arata, 20, offered the following assessment of the situation: "She’s ignorant," she said, then walked away.

The demonstration, composed of hundreds of social justice warriors on July 21, started in a city park, then moved north on foot to Hwy 101, where the group blocked traffic in both directions for almost an hour.

During the time, they chased down, harassed and prevented drivers from exiting the highway. When demonstrators returned to town, Arata, brandishing an American flag, pursued several cars and hit one of them with a flagpole.

#14  The "protest leader" was arrested later on. The police say they never knew about it until seeing it on social media, which is kind of hard to believe.

#13  The mayor is protesting against the people. The mayor is protesting against a political system that has mandated checks and balances that limit her power.

Another useful rule of thumb that helps make sense of current events:

Leftists are at heart sadistic megalomaniacs with a hunger for for absolute power.

#12  Tom, she's protesting against anyone with more power and money than she has and won't give her a blank check.

#11  #5 you do have to wonder who exactly the mayor was protesting against. She IS the government. Is she protesting against herself? This is just all too surreal.

#10  Simple rule of thumb. A word always means its exact opposite when used by a leftist:

Life=death
Equality=inequality
Progressive=regressive
Prosperity=poverty

Once you understand the formula it's very straightforward.

#6  Sue the Mayor for aiding the highwaymen.

#5  "San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon joined in the protest before it erupted onto the highway. Harmon has often encouraged residents to support Black Lives Matter and Arata."

IOW this was anarchotyranny.

#4  Your baby and the mother's lives are priority 1. Any gang endangering thier lives will be placing themselves at risk. I saw a security camera video of a person backing into their garage and as the garage door was coming down three men ducked into the garage under the door and one of them pointed a pistol at the driver. The driver drove over them and crashed through the garage door crashed into the get away car totalibg it outside the garage, backed up and left the area for safety. To put the safety of a gang over family is crazy.

#3  " I can't understand it, we demonstrated , took over cities, and still the bad man got elected and sent Federal Police to arrest us ? "

#2  My wife says she would have been demanding my pistol to open fire on anyone in her path. I've often joked that some loud car or bike pulling up next to us with one of the babies asleep and waking them carried the death penalty. Get a jury full of new moms and they'll agree.
