This parolee was then arrested. No emergency declared and they managed to help ruin this guy's life. But at least they got their moment on camera.

VIDEO THREAD: Yesterday, July 4, activists demanding Joe Biden declare a "Climate Emergency" blocked traffic on he beltway in Maryland, just outside DC.

One agitated driver got physical with them while saying that he's on parole and could return to prison if late for his job.

Police took their time preparing to arrest the activists blocking the highway, but had warned drivers not to assault the protesters.

As the shirtless parolee who claimed he could go back to jail for being late continued confronting them, police arrested and carried him away.

it on time. So, what point did these activists make? None as far as I know, and now, I know that they don't care about others at all, but themselves and making a point or two about something that really, most of us had already heard the same old thing again and again, their point wasn't going to be wasted.

Now, I hope that all of them feel just a little guilty (actually IMHO, I hope that they feel really bad) about not having compassion for a fellow human being.
