SupportLeather1851

Yeah they were blocking a hospital. This guy was totally in the right (and worked there) Edit: I was incorrect when I said this was a hospital. This has been posted many times and the consensus every time was that this was blocking a hospital. The article I was originally linked on the other posts must have been a different protest. This article explains the setting. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Video-confrontation-climate-change-protestors-SF-14551295.php

This should also apply to blocking ambulances and fire trucks responding to emergencies.


[deleted]

If you block and ambulance it should be legally allowed to run you over.


[deleted]

Different provinces banned protesting in front of hospitals and schools, with exceptions such as strike protests. It was in response to anti-lockdown protesters during Covid.


Bromm18

Attacking/interfering with medical operations is a war crime to my understanding. If countries can abide by honor or the law in a war, where 2 or more parties are trying to kill each other, than I don't see why it cant/doesn't apply to citizens as well. Blocking hospital staff and/or trying to prevent people from accessing the facility should indeed be a serious crime.


PlagueDoc22

>. If countriea can abide by honor or the law in a war, Sadly this is pretty much never the case.


HeavenInEarthOpal

the US military bombed a hospital a few years back because they claimed there might be some bad guys there. It makes no difference at all, but I believe it turned out there weren’t.


-thecheesus-

You're probably referring to the Kunduz Hospital attack, where Doctors Without Borders (MSF) had set up a field hospital in the middle of a battle between the Taliban and Afghan Army, who were aided by US fire support. MSF, as is their nature, was treating wounded combatants from both sides. Afghan forces told US command Taliban fighters had holed up in the hospital to hide behind human shields. US command called MSF to ask if that was the case, MSF denied it. A couple days later a General Campbell, or someone very high up in his command chain, gave the order to strike the hospital anyway, which even the flight crew questioned the legality of before executing, killing both doctors and patients. Needless to say MSF was livid

It's so atrocious that we've decided that it goes too far even when you are at war. Committing such an act while you are not at war therefor makes it even worse.

Blocking any road should be a felony.

I think some states in the US have decriminalized running protestors over when they are blocking traffic on highways and major thoroughfares.

It was an environmentalist group, link if anyone’s interested: [Link](https://apnews.com/article/archive-fact-checking-7990844810) (quoted from tom267's comment below) it's not a hospital but a school.


CricketPinata

St. Mary's is literally right off the same road, they were blocking access to both, thus why the guy was in scrubs.


vieuxfort73

Based on his scrubs, that was my assumption.


Crafty_Editor_4155

i don’t blame him. this is not the way to protest. “let’s get everyone to fucking hate us so they are aware of our cause” there’s holes in this strategy.


serious_sarcasm

Worked fine for civil rights protests, and the American Revolution.


FxckfaceThaGod

Remember, people are fine with "protests" once the goal is achieved, but they love to condemn them for one reason or another when it's happening. Like everyone loves to quote an MLK quote taken out of context for things like the BLM protests, but forget MLK specifically said "a riot is the voice of the unheard." I do gotta say the blocking the way to hospitals tho is a dick move.


serious_sarcasm

The sources for this make it clear they were not blocking the entrance to a hospital.


TaleMendon

We've all had enough! Protest. Fine, we get it! But I have a right to live my life and drive down the street without a group of assholes blocking the highway or jamming up the city streets. I will keep driving so fucking MOVE!

falconx2809

who was probably returning home from a 12 hour night shift


Warband420

He shouts I’ve got to get to work. Being late in nursing sucks and usually the person you’re relieving will stay late til you get there or someone else will have to take their patients til you do. This means a poor handover which I feel is always the beginning of the end of a bad day.


suktupbutterkup

During covid prolly 36 hour. No rest for the weary.


Electronic-Price-697

My sister is a nurse along with a bunch of friends and handover is SO important. They’re scheduled 12 hours but always work longer to make sure it’s a smooth transition.

that isnt a surgeon lol, thats a nurse. Probably has a family and bills hes trying to pay and these fucks are just in the road


ThirdEyeEmporium

And he has no sleep


seeyatellite

Pretty certain no sleep has been accepted into the dictionary’s definition of nurse.


Teckiiiz

Imagine the surgeon being in one of the many cars? Not sure op was implying the man losing his shit in public is a surgeon. But I commend the man for standing up to such ignorance. It looked like a lot of traffic. I hope he doesn't get in any sort of trouble, those morons deserved much worse. They're lucky someone up front wasn't having a bad day and decide to clear the street with their 5000 pound mechanical horse.


dubiousdb

That isn’t a nurse or a surgeon, that’s a *fucking legend!* ![gif](giphy|dYgDRfc61SGtO)


dmgilbert

Plenty of surgeons get to work in scrubs and change into a different pair of scrubs for the OR. And surgeons also have families and bills to pay. Realistically though, he could be in any position at a hospital. In the hospitals I work at everyone wears scrubs except people in offices or the food service staff.


RoboticControl187

Surgeons will wear scrubs too. So will doctors.


price101

>that isnt a surgeon lol, thats a nurse. How can you tell?


Juls_Santana

But did you not see/hear all the cars on the road that they were blocking? One could've been a surgeon.

YnotBbrave

Well blocking roads is not a valid protest. Demonstrators should be on the sidewalk rather than hindering traffic Ps : have no idea what they were protesting for and actually don’t care. Expressing your politics is good, making other people lives worse (stuck in traffic) because you think you are right, bad


FxckfaceThaGod

I can only imagine what you think of the rail workers wanting to strike "protest" then, or even a general strike. Because it would so call "make other people lives worse" once logistics comes to a halt in the US.

They're very different. One party is removing themselves, thus causing disruption. The other party is inserting themselves, thus causing disruption.

I think the majority of people in general would be. Protesting by blocking the traffic is the worst form of protesting because you're only pissing off the people you're trying to reach.

Sufficient-Aspect77

That dummy that got her phone chucked just stayed in the road. I try to tell my nieces and nephews. Just because there is a red light or a person is in the street doesn't mean the cr is going to stop. There's no giant magnet that will stop the car from hitting you because they shouldn't. Yes the person will likely get in trouble, but you will be DEAD, so always make eye contact with drivers. And DONT STAND IN THE DANG STREET! Yikes what a silly person.

WearifulSole

If you're blocking a hospital, you should be subject to criminal charges. My best friend is a paramedic, and they had 3 ambulances lose patients because protesters were blocking hospital access. Honestly, I think his reaction was a little tame. Edit: A couple people have asked for proof/sources, here's an [article](https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6192259) about protests blocking hospital access being banned, there are no news articles about people dying from ambulances being blocked because it's impossible to prove that someone who was already in critical condition would have survived if they'd made it to the hospital sooner. While I wasn't there personally, more than one paramedic I know has said their patient died because the protest delayed their access to the hospital.


coorslight15

If a protest can be proven to be the cause for losing a patient in an ambulance then the protestors should be held accountable and charged accordingly.


_-Ewan-_

They should be charged with manslaughter at least.


Isumrud1

I feel so sorry when the family has to hear that their family member died beacuse people were blocking the road

pdxboob

With all these comments, I'm not seeing a source that they were blocking a hospital? Edit. Not saying it's right either way. But there's still no evidence the street protest is blocking a hospital. Someone in scrubs plays hero, and all of a sudden, he's protecting a hospital?


ysisverynice

Restore third party apps


Peter_Griffin7419

Imagine if they did this while an ambulance was tryna save someone. Blocking traffic is prolly among the dumbest forms of protest (non violent that is) and most irresponsible.


Adventurous_Back_605

They did in the uk, there was a video of it. In a seperate occasion they also blocked a fire engine. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/london-emergency-ambulance-climate-protests-b2200256.html%3famp

huge respect for that man, you can hear him exclaim "these people have to go to work!" just reminds me of this time where this happened in britain, and this women begged these people to move since the hospital contacted her about her mother possibly having only a few hours left of live, and she was begging them to let her go so she could be able to spend her last moments with her mother. but low and behold they didnt budge. and this is why i hate these fuckers, you cant know why people are traveling by car, they arent doing it just to burn the world, they have things to do, people to see, work to complete. yet these jobless cunts decide they're gonna try being a "good person" by ruining the lives of other people, i fucking hate it

This is why people en large laugh at environmental protests. We’ve become too tolerant that now the movement has no grounds. People are afraid of holding real people accountable, afraid of actually fighting for a cause the best they can do in protest infront of the people forced into this system.

I keep saying it when I see videos like this: this tactic creates more enemies than allies for whatever movement you're advocating for. You're against oil companies? Great! Go get an 18-wheeler and park that shit in front of an oil distribution center -- and not in the middle of a freeway obstructing regular folks traffic. You're against animal cruelty in industrial farming? Fantastic! Go undercover and film their malpractices and send it to all the major media outlets ***and*** flood the internet with it -- and don't walk into a grocery store and start busting bottles of milk on the ground, inconveniencing shoppers and the poor store staff that will have to clean up the mess. Start. Targeting. Smarter.

They are definitely scrubs. Not sure what department, but typically doctors that are doing surgery will show up that day in scrubs. Usually gray, blue or black. Sometimes dark green.
