<p>Protesters reportedly associated with the radical environmentalist group Extinction Rebellion blocked one of the main roads in Rome during rush hour by sitting in the middle of the highway.</p>
<p>Drivers then exited their cars on the Grande Raccordo Anulare, which encircles Rome, walked over, yanked the protesters and threw them to the side of the road.</p>

<p>“The adolescent demonstrators were members of an Extinction Rebellion offshoot organization called the ‘Last Generation’ movement, according to Italian magazine Corriere Dello Sport,” tdpelmedia.com <a href="https://tdpelmedia.com/last-generation-movement-protests-by-blocking-a-major-highway-in-rome">reported.</a></p>
<p>In October 2019, protesters from Extinction Rebellion <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-50079716">climbed</a> on top of trains in Stratford, Canning Town, and Shadwell during rush hour; service on the Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Railway was temporarily suspended.</p>
<p>At the Canning Town station, a few furious commuters yanked two of the protesters off train cars.</p>
<p>“The two activists used a ladder to climb up onto the carriage, causing passengers to begin shouting at them to get down before launching a physical attack,” Metro <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2019/10/17/angry-commuters-drag-xr-protesters-off-tube-try-glue-10933003/">reported</a>. “A man was seen throwing a bag of crisps at the pair, while others chucked their drinks and bits of cardboard as the number of people on the platform grew.”</p>
<p>In October of last year, an English woman trying to transport her ailing 81-year-old mother to a hospital tearfully cried at a group of eco-activists that blocked streets in London for over four hours, “How can you be so selfish?”</p>
<p>The unidentified woman was videotaped lashing out at members of the Extinction Rebellion splinter group Insulate Britain as she was blocked at Blackwall Tunnel from getting her mother to a Canterbury hospital, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10056407/Now-eco-mob-block-Blackwall-Tunnel-Insulate-Britain-launch-ELEVENTH-day-protests.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline">Daily Mail</a> reported.</p>
<p>“Insulate Britain — which is demanding the Government pay for all homes in the country to be insulated by 2030 — has brought major roads to a standstill with eleven protests in less than three weeks,&#8221; the outlet reports. &#8220;Around 450 arrests have been made so far.&#8221;</p>
<p>The woman cried, “She&#8217;s in there. She&#8217;s going to a hospital in Canterbury. Do you think I&#8217;m stupid? &#8230; Please move your cars. Please. &#8230; This isn&#8217;t okay. This isn&#8217;t okay. &#8230; How can you be so selfish? How can you be so selfish? &#8230; My mum is 81 and she&#8217;s going to the hospital.&#8221;<br />

<p>Florida GOP governor Ron DeSantis has made it clear he will not tolerate protesters blocking roads. He <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/07/15/desantis-tells-protesters-not-to-block-traffic/">said</a> in July 2021, “We can’t have that. It’s dangerous for you to be shutting down a thoroughfare. You’re also putting other people in jeopardy. You don’t know if an emergency vehicle needs to get somewhere, and then obviously it’s just disrespectful to make people stand in traffic.”</p>
<p>“It can’t be where you shut down commerce or you shut down the ability to use these arteries &#8230; especially in a place like Miami where the traffic can be very bad,” he added.</p>
