It was only a matter of time before an irate tradie threw hands at them.

We don’t get paid to sit in traffic.

    Unfortunately it’s also only a matter of time before climate change gets worse - we’ve already seen what’s happening in the northern hemisphere. Regardless of who is in the road or what work you need to get to, hitting and carrying a person on the front of your car or assault deserves charges, especially as the cops cleared it in ~15 minutes anyway.

    Saying that - protesting is also meant to get people on your side rather than just raise awareness. This one didn’t.

      If there’s a gofundme for this guy’s legal costs, I’m chipping in. You don’t get to fuck with someone’s livelihood like this.

        So you believe 15 minutes of delay justifies assault?

        I mean, if you want to go that path carbon emissions is fucking with most of our livelihoods and its also a known, direct correction. Does that mean I can deck every tradie in a ranger?
