I don't think that you misunderstood me, but I do think that we should be careful with using the term "minority group".

Examples of minority groups in the UK to me would be things like transgender people (~0.1-1% of the population), people of Indian heritage (1-5%), etc. Small percentages of the whole, but still significant quantities (e.g. tens, hundreds of thousands).

I don't think that we can look at a group of 10-20 people with the same opinion blocking traffic in the same way. The rights of the people being disrupted have to be weighed up here.
