This parolee was then arrested. No emergency declared and they managed to help ruin this guy's life. But at least they got their moment on camera.

VIDEO THREAD: Yesterday, July 4, activists demanding Joe Biden declare a "Climate Emergency" blocked traffic on he beltway in Maryland, just outside DC.

One agitated driver got physical with them while saying that he's on parole and could return to prison if late for his job.

Police took their time preparing to arrest the activists blocking the highway, but had warned drivers not to assault the protesters.

As the shirtless parolee who claimed he could go back to jail for being late continued confronting them, police arrested and carried him away.

They just piss a lot of people off who sit there idling their vehicles for a couple of hours. If anything, it would drive people away from the fight.
