Not sure what they're trying to show though.

You also can render a human driven car immobile but standing in front of it and have a buddy come up from behind. And what does that prove other than you're asshole? I don't see how this activism is different.

The way they explain themselves sounds like NIMBY. I doubt it's about safety.

They're trying to show it's hilarious. And they succeeded.
