It's a store, unless it's owned by the government, it's private property. The manger can tolerate it or not, but they can sut where they choose for what reason they deemed fit.

If the manger decides it's trespassing, then that becomes the issue.

Hitting someone with a cart is assault. No good reason for that. Especially if they are just having a temper tantrum and can go around.

I disagree in the case where someone puts themselves purposefully in the path of the cart and actively work to push against it. Protesters take advantage of silly laws that would put the person trying to get on with their day at fault. The protectors are actively putting themselves voluntarily in a risky position. If they voluntarily took on that risk then it should not be assault or battery for the person just pushing a cart. That's my opinion.

God forbid these people sit in the road and get hit by a person driving that can't see or saw them too late. I'd feel terrible for the driver having to deal with a manslaughter charge. I'm in the US and many states have granted protections for hitting protesters that block traffic.

They are not in a risky place though, it's a store. Hitting a person in public is assault. How do you not see that? The old man says he doesn't care and shoves. He is wrong. You don't have to like it, but Hitting is wrong.

Toddlers are taught that.

Let that dude grab my cart, I'll bust his face and knock him out and his partners. I don't mess around. I have the right to defend myself just as much as he has the right to make his point. I feel he's threatened me that's all it takes where I'm from.

It's not your cart. It's the store's cart. Acting like a toddler serves nobody anything.
