    It’s a bad argument anyway, since street-blocking protest crowds almost always part to allow an ambulance through. If an ambulance is stopped, it’s usually the cops blocking it.

      The only protest that intentionally blocked emergency services I can think of was the antivaxxer “freedom convoy” protests.

      But when you ask a random lib to think of a protest blocking emergency services they’ll blurt out something about climate/workers/BLM/Palestine/etc. Talk about the freedom convoy and they’ll get holier than thou about how unfairly those widdle science denwying fwascists got treated by the police when any Leftist protest ever was treated 100x worse.

      I’ve never seen ambulances or fire trucks intentionally blocked, and I’ve often seen protest organizers plan ahead for ambulance & fire access.

        They should, the point is to cause a nuisance and force people to listen. The point is not to endanger random people.
