I didn't agree with their blocking of roads, but there has been a hysteria whipped up online and by tabloids about them. to the point where a small minority of people think being late is a valid excuse to run their SUV over these protestors.

Go to comments on news websites covering these stories and you'll usually see a few suggestions to run them over.
