    My favorite retort to those advocating for running over protesters:

    If it’s OK for you to run over protesters blocking your path on the highway, it’s also OK for me to set fire to your car if you park it in the bike lane.

        “Jay” is an old English slur. “Jaywalking” refers to walking on a public street illegally. For highways, it makes sense that you’re not supposed to walk there. But in America this “jaywalking” can even apply to city streets.

        If you’re not in America, then it might just sound ridiculous. That’s because it is
