I'm not sure what kind of 'both sides' argument you're making here.
Lying in the middle of a road blocking traffic= one of the absolute DUMBEST ways anyone could possibly come up with to get a point across and has nothing what-so-ever to do with 'freedom of speech.
Joking about wanting to run some nitwit over who is laying in front of your car as you're perhaps trying to get to work (or maybe even taking your sick kid to a doctor, who knows)= not only free speech, but normal human nature. No, not actually hammering down on that gas pedal for real, but joking about wanting to do so? Some idiot laying in the road? Are you kidding me? Absolute fair game for ridicule.
Anyone (and I do mean ANYONE) who's going to sit here and pretend they wouldn't be a bit pissed to be late for whatever they are doing by some bunch of jackasses laying in the road, and that the thought of said idiot getting run over wouldn't cross their minds -I don't care what the cause- is simply lying. Straight up.
How anyone could even make the comparison as being the same level of 'mean spiritedness' is beyond me.
