The "decision dilemma" part was interesting. You set up a situation where all options are bad. For example, in Portland, the Feds can:
Keep doing what they're doing. They're going to keep taking casualties from lasers and IEDs.
Escalate with live ammunition, which risks media backlash.
Abandon the courthouse, which admits defeat.
Similarly, blocking traffic. The victim can:
Drive through, which makes them seem to be the aggressor.
Drive back, which is a victory for the protesters.
Most people don't want to run over someone, so they drive forward slowly. That's probably the worst option, because it gives the mob time to surround the car, or even pull out a gun.
This is like drivers not paying attention to Road Flooded Ahead signs. I think I'd hit the alternate route button on my GPS instead of driving through a hurricane of protesting chaos.
That assumes you know where the riot will be ahead of time. They are using flash mob tactics, organizing on FB/Twitter.
That also assumes an alternate route to your destination is available.
Once the mob has your car surrounded, you're pretty much screwed. Mercedes guy in Texas, with an expensive car, probably would have had his car wrecked if he didn't open fire.

Lefties love kafka traps.
