"I don't give a fuck. My name's Dave!!"

The protesters are hurting their own cause and creating a hero.
The right to protest does not include the right to physically impede people from going where they want to go no matter how justified you feel about it.

Do you extend that to every kind of protest or only the ones you don't agree with?

That's only a small selection from last year. In fact, blockades are a very common form of protest.
