    Absolutely insane. You know how many of our fellow americans have guns and zero chill!? It’s not fair, but protest in a manner that’s safe

      I’m a relatively risk averse person but this is crazy. Do you fret the same amount every time you head out on our increasingly deadly roads? I can’t imagine leaving the house if I believed my fellow citizens were one small inconvenience away from blowing my head off in broad daylight.

        It’s crazy!? Really?? Again, the commenter is advocating you open some stranger’s vehicle while they are stopped at a light and enter it. You don’t know if they have kids in there, if they think you are carjacking them, etc. And yeah, they might be armed.

        And what’s this false equivalency about it being the same as driving on the road? That makes no sense and is completely irrelevant. Did you even read the comment I was replying to??

        Anyone who’s driven on american roads knows how aggressive people can be. And the comment is talking about entering these same people’s vehicles unannounced and not thinking they will react badly or panic in the moment!? Also, I think it’s technically trespassing in most states…
