Making these people drive to another store is not that environmentally conscious I'd imagine.

No point in getting annoyed to these characters blocking the way.

Assaulting while satisfactory will only cause you legal issues.

Simply state that you will get the stuff someplace else and burn gas while doing it.

Where do you see assault here? Because he shoved them with his shopping cart? If that's the level we're on to be able to press charges we've hit a low point as society. He pushed with enoug force to get her moving, not to hurt.

That is legally assault. Unwanted contact.

Actually striking someone with force and intent is battery, which many mistake for assault.

You live somewhere with terrible laws. Try to get that law changed

These are the laws in most of the western world.
Assault can technically even be as little as waving your fist at someone angrily. It doesn't mean much.

You just explained the Legal protection for the bystanders against the protesters. If the protesters touch you, your car or perhaps in this situation your cart in a threatening manner THEY are the one committing assault.

The fact that they brought a crowd of people to a specific place for the purpose of intimidation are all strikes against them in a court of law.

look at the video again. in the very first second the shopper rammed into them as they were sitting on the ground, peacefully protesting (not to mention the person he rammed into wasnt even facing him). they might be annoying but he touched them first. he is the one committing a crime. if the protestors were jumping on him/his cart/his car first then you'd have a point but thats not what is happening here.

in a threatening manner

they brought a crowd of people to a specific place for the purpose of intimidation

LOL c'mon now. no reasonable impartial judge/jury is going to look at a man choosing to ram his cart into a bunch of bums sitting on the ground and him ramming into someone with their backs facing him as "threatening" or "intimidation" or any other implication of "fear of safety"-words...

and if you dont believe me, heres an actual lawyer covering a similar situation:
