I can't say that I completely disagree with you but I do lack your faith in the authorities' ability to respond appropriately. I wouldn't mind if Beavis and Butthead recalibrated their ideas about how to conduct a demonstration. I also hope that they've edited the video for maximum effect, and that the reality was a little less exciting; but the fact is that a stalled automobile is an everyday occurrence that is about as mundane as mundane gets. Minor events such as this cannot be prevented in all cases, and therefore drivers absolutely must watch and be prepared for such an event. It wasn't the safest thing to do, but it isn't outside the normal range of "dangerous" events that one will experience on their commute daily, often more than once daily. IMO it doesn't increase the danger nearly as much as traffic patrol conducting a routine traffic stop on the freeway. If we're prepared to accept traffic patrol on busy freeways, then I don't think it's justified to treat a rare, even if foolish demonstration such as this one as anything more than a nuisance.
