It is the law in most places to not enter the intersection unless you can clear it. So blocking the intersection is 99% of the time the driver's fault.

Part of the issue is, a lot of intersections don’t have great visibility at the original stop position. People pull forward to make sure their turn will be safe.

Certainly plenty of them are doing it out of impatience, and they deserve some flak.

If an intersection has that poor of visbility, it should be rebuilt to a safer standard.

99%? Source?

My point was that it's usually not malicious, definitely not to warrant walking over someones car.
