@oldschoolzone5711 erm, who was paid oddly capitalized millions? The White House or the press?
So, was Harry Truman also liable for threatening a reporter for insulting his daughter, a minor child?
Back when we had a civilized society, leaders families were sacrosanct, now they're a terrorist's target of opportunity. Be happy, if I were in that office and some asswipe came after my family, what I'd do would be equally uncivilized, involve an edged weapon and quite lethal. At a certain point, office and father become quite distinctly different, with entirely different duties.

Interesting tap dancing around what is and is not obstruction, entirely missing intent and proof of mens rea. One can argue until the sun goes out, one has to prove a guilty mind in intending obstruction to support an obstruction charge. Specifically, not obstruction of a public highway, but intent to obstruct an official governmental function in specific.
Otherwise, you create the example asked in the title, equating being shackled seated to block a public highway being precisely equal with assault, battery, forcible entry, burglary, theft, ransacking the capitol and threatening the murder and unseating of one's government, so that legally blocking a road is sedition. Which, frankly is the dumbest goddamned thing I've ever heard in my life. Fortunately, not precisely what was said, but will likely be interpreted that way anyway to support their god-emperor wannabe.

@gerrymatheson4020 I suspected as much. Given initially reported conditions, one would be expecting a fire fighter to go running up to a home gas valve and turn it off, given reports of an armed and shooting suspect, yeah, absent a greater threat, such as a strong smell of gas, just wouldn't happen. EMS ain't cops, you need a greater danger than random shots for them to be cleared to enter a suspect with a firearm scene.
Scene safety being critically important to fire and EMS services, lest they swiftly run out of responders.
The bear is, it takes quite some time for a house to air out on its own. :/
People are far too complacent with NG and LP, not realizing how explosive it can be. Having witnessed such explosions from regular leaks, yeah, nasty stuff, but I still use gas or induction for cooking, gas usually being cheaper.
