San Luis Obispo, Calif. – After blocking traffic on Highway 101 in Central California, Black Lives Matters activists ignored the pleas of a motorist to take a pregnant woman in labor to a nearby hospital.
The BLM group, rather than allowing the distressed family pass through the blockade, wanted instead to “have a conversion” about race issues.
Protesters ask the occupants of the vehicle whether the woman’s water broke or not, in a video posted by Cal Coast News this week.
“She is going to give birth,” another woman in the pickup truck pleads. “Get out of the road.”
Protest organizer Tianna Arata, 20, offered the following assessment of the situation: “She’s ignorant,” she said, then walked away.
The demonstration, composed of hundreds of social justice warriors on July 21, started in a city park, then moved north on foot to Hwy 101, where the group blocked traffic in both directions for almost an hour.
During the time, they chased down, harassed and prevented drivers from exiting the highway.
When demonstrators returned to town, Arata, brandishing an American flag, pursued several cars and hit one of them with a flagpole.
Moreover, “protesters damaged the hood of a passenger vehicle and smashed the rear window where a 4 year-old child was in the back seat and had glass shattered on him,” according to the San Luis police.
Officers arrested Arata later that day on numerous charges, including participation in a riot, unlawful imprisonment and resisting. She was later released on zero bail.
Activists have demanded the District Attorney drop the charges. San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon joined in the protest before it erupted onto the highway. Harmon has often encouraged residents to support Black Lives Matter and Arata.
“She was later released on zero bail.”
Guess that will stop her crime spree.
Like the thugs cared about a baby in the womb...
And there will be zero jail.................
BLM = Burn--Loot--Murder
You have a right to peacefully assemble and protest. You do NOT have a right to hold people hostage. You do NOT have a right to assault families and children. You do NOT have a right to destroy property, including smashing car windows with families and children inside.
What we need to see are mass arrests whenever stuff like this happens. Round up however many there are - be in 10 or 100 or 1,000 of them. Round them all up and throw them in jail. Go for full prosecution of the ring leaders and anyone caught on camera breaking the law. The sooner that starts happening, the sooner most of these people will actually protest in a peaceful manner, rather than the chaos and anarchy we have happening now.
“She’s ignorant,” she said”
What judge in the country could argue with that logic? Case dismissed!
Violent neo-marxist revolutionaries. They need to be mowed down.
She is going to give birth only one option is to floor it and do bowling for protesters.
Should have mowed the _____s down. I know I would have. What kind of animals would interfere with a woman in labor reaching the hospital? None that the Earth needs, that’s for sure. They could possibly have caused the woman’s death or the baby’s death by their asinine shenanigans.
The pregnant lady should sue her for possible danger/injury to herself and the baby...
No she di-nt....
Bump
She’s lucky she wasn’t raped.
Don’t try that crap in Wyoming.
They won’t be stopped soon, and they won’t be stopped later, at least not by the authorities.
And yes, there will be blood in the streets, sadly it won’t all be theirs. Hopefully most of it will be, though.
File suit against all of them including the organizers and those that fund them - intentional infliction of emotional distress, unlawful imprisonment, and a number of other torts related to threatening their health, etc.
If law enforcement won’t talk, then perhaps being stripped of their money will.
