I think we are just way too nice about it. If you're in the road you have no right of way. Hit a couple of these ******bag morons and the problem will solve itself.
These folks think there are no consequences.
I have wondered if people stuck in traffic could sue the activists/groups for unlawful imprisonment/detainment (at least in the US). Under common law, it is considered the intentional tort of unlawful containment if, through a person's intentional actions, someone is confined to a closed space against their will.
Not a slam dunk, but I would argue that, if I am travelling on a roadway in my vehicle (bonus if a freeway/controlled access road) and you sitting in the roadway means I cannot proceed, and other traffic has backed up to the extent I cannot exit the area timely/safely, you have intentionally detained me.
Would at least make them spend money to defend their idiotic actions.
