I'm wasn't really comparing JHill to Selma. I was just pointing out that blocking roads isn't some new and purely ineffectual thing. People back in MLK's day said similar things to what they say now about that kind of protest.
And honestly its a little silly to say if he would hate or not hate what is going on now. With the way he was vilified in the media at the time it's just as possible he might empathize with protestors now. He was for redistribution of wealth, he was anti war, he was a big union backer, he led boycotts... It's not like the only thing he fought for was desegregation.
