• What Happened: Nick Shirley confronted Portland ICE protesters who blocked intersections and told drivers where they could and could not go.
  • Why It Matters: Activists took control of streets without any legal authority, forcing angry drivers to completely change directions.
  • Bottom Line: Shirley asked protesters under what jurisdiction they have the right to tell people where to drive on public streets.

Liberal activists in Portland just blocked intersections and started directing traffic like they own the streets.

Nick Shirley confronted ICE protesters who had taken control of public roads, forcing drivers to detour and telling them where they could and could not go. Shirley was not having it.

"This is actually unbelievable. They've taken control of the street. They've blocked people off and now they're making everyone go a completely different direction. Under what jurisdiction do you have the right to tell these people what way they can drive?" Shirley asked.

The protesters had no answer. Because they have no authority. They are not police. They are not traffic control. They are activists blocking public streets and forcing drivers to comply with their demands.

"Look at these drivers, they're pissed off. They want to drive where they want to drive. How can you guys tell people where to go and where not to go here on the streets of Portland?" Shirley continued.

This is what happens when cities allow lawlessness. Portland has become a place where protesters can shut down intersections, block traffic, and direct drivers wherever they want without any consequences. Meanwhile, ordinary people trying to get to work, pick up their kids, or go about their day are stuck waiting for a mob to let them through.

The drivers in the video are visibly angry. They want to drive where they need to go. But a group of activists has decided they get to control the streets instead.

This is not protest. This is not free speech. This is obstruction. And in most places, it is illegal. But in Portland, the city has made it clear that protesters can do whatever they want while law-abiding citizens are forced to comply.

Shirley's confrontation exposed the absurdity of the situation. These activists have no legal authority to block streets. They have no right to tell drivers where to go. But they are doing it anyway because Portland lets them.

This is what happens when Democrats run cities. Chaos. Lawlessness. And ordinary people paying the price.
