Oh Yes I WENT THERE

So we all saw the chick protestor in L.A. who was unlawfully impeding a public roadway and refused to move aside and allow another citizen, who was behaving lawfully in proceeding along the thoroughfare on a green light to achieve the lawful goal of arriving at whatever destination he/she chose, safely, and possibly for critically important reasons the casual observer might never even consider, although driving without being unlawfully impeded does not “require” that one have an important “mission.” Just sayin’.

On social media, the video went wild and everyone had their little opinions. Horrifying to watch (Darwin Award nominee stuff always is), but . . . the fact is, the protestor chick was the unlawful actor in the scenario. The guilty party. The criminal.

Go look it all up for yourself and you’ll see that CA has statutes (as do most states) against “false imprisonment.” There are “elements” to the cause of action and all were clearly met, so the driver SHOULD be able to prevail in an action against the blockading protestor who likely terrified the driver with her aggressive actions, and impeded, etc. There are probably a bunch of other illegalities in her actions (not going into it here).

But I mean, the chick has no leg to stand on, was my first thought, as to the false imprisonment claim.

“Oh shit, well, that came out wrong,” was my second thought.

My third thought (my thoughts usually don’t line up neatly at all, but for some reason this time they at least tried), was, “Let me run this by a few trusted friends, as I suspect saying this would upthet a few of the ignorati, as I call them. I also thought, “I might even get in twubble on X” (sort of a fourth thought). Then I remembered I have a website that I pay for.

Anyway, all the trusted friends (all of whom are way smarter than I am in their various areas of expertise) said “LOL YES true, and you should be able to say that aloud.” So. I am. But here, on my own web space, which I pay for.

Shit. I thought this post would go a lot better than it has. Sadly, no. That’s fine. It’s not mandatory that anyone ever read any crap I write, nor am I required to explain myself to whomever might disagree with my writings or style or anything else about me.

My next post may be about a couple of dead house flies. Pretty graphic.

You see the kind of shit show we’re running here.
