So why aren't protestors treated like cars and motorcycles?

They use public roads. They have their own special signs and bullhorns, chants and slogans . They cause motor vehicle delays. They get in the way and lay on the pavement. They don't have to demonstrate that they understand traffic laws, potential hazards or even the safe operation of their protest. The only way they pay into the infrastructure the sales tax on their markers and cardboard and stuff.

People tend to scream like hell when you screw a licence plate to their A$$es.....

I don't want them treated the same. I hear pepper spray is hard on paint.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel the urge to plow into the mob with a truck when you see looting and fire starting protesters?
It would serve them right.

Fortunately I pretty much never go near places where people tend to protest.

They don't pay taxes on cardboard and markers. Those items are looted because the protesters are owed.
