| BREAKING: Car plows through a group of BLM protesters after they surround vehicle in Denver! |
| 2020-09-24 |
| [NewsThud] A group of BLMers surrounded a vehicle in Denver during tonight’s protest, but the driver was determined not to be a victim and ended up plowing right through them: These idiots never learn. I mean it’s a freaking car. Nine times out of ten the driver has the upper hand. Here’s another angle:
I honestly don’t blame the driver. There’ve been enough of these incidents that went bad that I wouldn’t sit there either. Of course, now the driver will likely be subject to harassment and death threats, as I’m sure they got the license tag and will probably show up at their home or something. I hope that’s not the case but it’s what I would expect.

| #24 Traffic laws are already broken. Not the time to worry about one-way streets, I recall the halcyon days of Freknik in ATL I lived on 10th St across from Piedmont Park. The cops told me to drive the wrong way down one way streets to get out. |

| #23 I am talking about escaping a trap - not using a vehicle as a weapon. Try not to hit people if possible, not only is that the right and potentially legal thing to do, if you start bopping people and get disabled you will be in quite the spot especially if the reports are accurate about chasers who will follow escapees: Heavier objects, it may be better to approach then push rather than ramming. If you have to ram something of substance, and you can, go in reverse and use the trunk so not to damage the engine. Learn to do a quick 180 (I found it easier with a manual transmission, the auto took some practice). Leave room between you and the vehicle in front of you so you have options. Traffic laws are already broken. Not the time to worry about one-way streets, driving on sidewalks or off road such as the area between interstate directions. Do try to keep with normal traffic patterns as best as possible: approach Stop and Yield and Controlled intersections with caution - not the time to get T-Boned. Don't get high centered. There are other things, but the need to talk about them is not here. Yet. |

| #20 We know that mobs are blocking traffic, pulling people from their vehicles, robbing, assaulting and sometimes murdering them. Should be presumptively self-defense to run them over. |

| #16 It would be terrible if the car was stolen from an impound lot, remote controlled and rigged with explosives or something. That would be just awful and I hope nothing of the kind ever happens. |

| #15 I've thought of a design around armoring inside around the outside door handle and design a handle that works both to open the door and be a claymore at the same time. Push the button Max. |

| #14 “He wasn’t gonna stop even though I was, like, on his hood," one witness said. Seems like more than just a witness. And if it's a problem for the witness, the driver could always tap the brakes so he rolls off the hood onto the ground in front of the car before punching it again. Oh, and don't lose momentum or you may get stuck. A car can only apply about 1,000 pounds of forward force. |

| #10 One should just have a hack doctor's diagnosis handy. And some prescriptions for an ailment like 'panic attacks' or something. Situation in America being what it is, one's bound to find sympathy from the bench as a freak of some kind. Just plow away. And later tell them the loud sounds and hostile crowd triggered your particular State Recognized weirdness.In fact sue the city. And the car manufacturer too. For making windows so thin the 'orrible sounds could come in and endanger the ... you know, the whole world. |

| #9 I sure wouldn't stop either. And if someone tried breaking my window they would catch a nice dose of lead in their face. |

| #4 The Wife I have discussed this scenario at length. We agreed to the following, If no alternative unblocked safe route is possible. 1. Always have the front and rear DASH-CAM's working. 2. Use the horn to warn. 3. IF BOXED IN and/or SURROUNDED by a riotous mob. Slowly (coast) and carefully proceed to and thru the rioting mob. 4. If any Rioter/mob member jumps on the hood, roof or attacks the doors and/or windows, increase speed to 5mph and NOT stop until clear and safe. They will attack you break windows to get you and etc. 5. Once safely away from the scene call 9-1-1 and report the incident in great detail. Make sure to state 2 or 3x's "We feared for our Lives and safety while being attacked by this mob". 6. NOTE: Crosswalk laws only apply if the pedestrian is in the crosswalk with the Green OK to Cross light lit. 7. See your lawyer to counter-sue anyone suing you for 2x their amount. Frivolous Lawsuits counter suing. Even the ACLU of Oregon is clear on the Traffic blocking Protests. A protest that blocks vehicular or pedestrian traffic is illegal without a permit. You do not have the right to block a building entrance or physically harass people. The general rule is that free speech activity cannot take place on private property, including shopping malls, without consent of the property owner. |
