stopped by protesters asking what your intentions are and creating a traffic jam while doing so, is that a peaceful and lawful demonstration?
Peaceful, yes; lawful, no. Disclaimer: assumes baseline rule of law, and that highway is public. Where a privately-owned road is open to the public, the landowners may enjoy access "in favor of those entitled thereto", which language I have always taken to mean merely "right of way". Uniform Traffic Code clearly states that once "open to the public" for six months, the road may not be closed or otherwise restricted. By this reading, even if DHHL land can somehow be construed as "private", the road is still "open to the public".
"If you don't like it here, you can go back to where you came from"
I was born on lands that were taken from indigenous people, so I should go back to where exactly? Are we going to resettle the world based on blood quanta? What happens to property rights? I paid for this land, I built a house, who will reimburse me if I'm forced to leave?
