    I guess it depends on the level of disruption. Standing in the street is a little different from dismantling a bridge for example.

      But if you can dismantle a bridge without hurting anyone, and do so in protest of something, that’d be impressive and should be allowed.

        I agree it’d be impressive. But is making thousands of people drive more hours every day due to increased congestion hurting them? In the US, most people wouldn’t have another option than to just sit in traffic much longer.
