To block the road, or not to block the road?
That's a hard question to answer, if you're a group in Portland, Oregon, protesting the non-indictment of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.

In a video posted to YouTube Wednesday morning by LaughingAtLiberals, Portland protestors actually come to blows with one another as they debate blocking a road with their bodies — even as some cars they're blocking apparently contain people needing medical care.
"Let him through, he's got to go to the hospital!" a protestor can be heard shouting, parting the crowd briefly.

"You let them through and then the cops are here," another man, wearing a knit cap and carrying a bicycle, protests. "Is that what we want?"
"Some of them got to go to the hospital, man!" is the response from the crowd.
The most vehement pro-street-blocking individuals in the video seem to be the man holding his bicycle and another man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and a fully-buttoned shirt under his jacket.

Holding his bicycle across the road, the man in the hat continues to say, "Nobody can go through," and seems to get upset that other protestors are making exceptions.
The Guy Fawkes guy, on the other hand, remains silent — even as other protestor shoves him violently.

The man in the mask refuses to leave the street, even standing alone in front of a moving SUV, before silently walking away.
