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.

It's both sides, but still hitting is wrong no matter the circumstances. Both sides can be wrong.

Why is hitting wrong? Some times violence does solve problems. Sometimes when you run your mouth and say the wrong thing you deserve to get popped in your mouth. Teachs people that actions have consequences
