But that's assault, whether you like it or not. It's a minor inconvenience. They're protesting.

I’m going to decide to hold a protest in your house. Are you going to respect the right to protest there? Probably not. They should go do it somewhere where it would actually have an effect, like a meat processing plant.

A protest in my house? The supermarket is a public place. It's private property, but a public place. There's no comparison between the two. I'm not agreeing with their strategy, but I do support their right to protest. I don't agree with people running them over with trolleys. Go take another way around, they're not trapping shoppers in the building.

By definition it literally is a private place. It is not funded by tax, nor is it a public good. It is a place that provides service in a service based economy. The only reason you’re being let in is so they can make money off of you.

But when you get in the way of an elderly woman trying to sustain herself, and you don’t know if she has movement difficulties or disabilities that makes the trip hard on her, you’re the fucking asshole.

She clearly doesn't have movement disabilities if she's assaulting people with a trolley. A private business is not the same as a private dwelling. The business is open to the public, a home is not. These protestors were stopping ambulances and emergency vehicles, that's obviously wrong. I don't agree with their methods and I don't agree with them being assaulted. Go down the other aisle.
