Funny-I have always loved the cleanliness of a good flow chart.
The ability to distill a process down to a logical pathway to follow via Yes/No questions has always appealed to me.
I think that is because, on a fundamental level, all of our human decisions boil down to a Yes/No. (there are people who contest this, but I believe it is fundamentally true)
Manhattan. She's screwed after rejecting a plea deal.
I don’t know, a THUMP! THUMP! would have at least taken care of the immediate problem, which is escape. There can be no good consequences from such a confrontation.
But the bullies are counting on people to be too queasy to do the necessary response.
I have swerved across the road to avoid hitting a dog on the roadway, but several times, even the swerve was not enough.
I agree. A dashcam is the only thing that can save you in nearly any court in America today.
Look at Kyle Rittenhouse.
If there had not been video, he would have been smoking a turd in a jail cell. That video saved him because it told the truth of the situation.

Anybody notice that the Antifa and BLM crap stopped as soon as Biden was installed?.........
LOL, I can just see myself now, rummaging around in my glove box for my handy-dandy laminated flow chart instead of my firearm!
Just to be sure...:)
UK Daily Mail, as usual, has better coverage, including video of the incident. It happened in Manhattan.
I recommend at least one G18 mag be on hand. Lots of ammo in a single container that can be sent down the pipe if need be.
Overly complicated.
Right after “Is there a crowd blocking the road ahead?” and Y, should be:
Turn around if possible. If not, floor it.
Not totally serious of course.
If you are White and surrounded by a mad pack of BLM thugs, and you are in a democrat-controlled area, you have few options. You will be convicted and put in jail for defending yourself and your family.
Of COURSE it isn’t totally serious and 100% bulletproof.
It is simply an example of a thought process and nothing more. I did it more for entertainment than the delineation of an actual process...:)
But you get the idea, right?
Bracken on roadblocks from a couple years ago. Yes, I bookmarked that one.

Matt, if you’ve updated that you might post it here.
They were warned by the new administration. “Do you know what the meaning of the phrase “The Night of the Long Knives”?
Sorry, but "dirty looks" are not sufficient. Those Portland cupcakes are going to have to get serious.
This happened Summer 2020 in Seattle to me and other drivers in slow traffic. Happened just south of 23rd Ave on Rainier Ave South about 3-4 miles south of CHAZ/CHOP that was national news. It was considered a relative safe unaffected area.
What happened was the local central colleges had organized about 20-25 thousand students to form a BLM protest. Antifa was among the crowd. Some Antifa were on bikes wearing black garb, helmets, like uniforms, stopping at intersections to halt traffic for the crowds. Antifa, according to captured audio, considered themselves military and all others civilians. Some junior college faculty were outed to be Antifa.
The Antifa inside and scattered among the college crowds used the crowds as cover from which to launch attacks on storefronts and cars stopped in traffic. They had come south to bring the protests outside of CHAZ/CHOP to greater Seattle with talk about getting into residential neighborhoods and shaking people up.
I was in traffic headed to a drive-through pharmacy to pick up a prescription. Had zero warning about violent Antifa in the area as apparently had also other drivers in front and behind me. We were about 7 cars headed east with 3 other intersection lanes of about the same number of cars. There were commercial buildings all around us.
The crowds swarmed around our cars and Antifa started banging on the windshields. Lady driver in front of me freaked out as it seemed her windshield had cracked, so she accelerated forward, slammed her brakes, accelerated forward again. This took the attention of Antifa away from my car and cars behind me. I quickly turned a sharp right down an alley between buildings lwith other cars following behind me. When I emerged on the next street, there were some crowd members turning to see us and signaling to Antifa. I let it rip on a strip that connected to a clear section of the avenue and drove all the way to Mt. Baker Park before returning home.
A couple observations:
The black garb worn by Antifa was very similar to that worn by those captured on film on January 6th breaking windows into the Capitol. But the Jan 6 persons in black garb also wore red MAGA caps. In December 2020, there were tweets by Antifa members to meet each other January 6th in DC wearing MAGA caps backwards to identify themselves.
It was a bad idea to shoot Antifa banging on windshields as Seattle Mayor at the time, Jenny Durkan, lesbian in a gay marriage with children, had supported the protesters as if it were one of Seattle’s summer block parties The Seattle Police were conflicted as some of the old guard were leaving the force in response to the progressivism of the current Police Chief. The SPD was in turmoil. Shooting Antifa attackers would likely have brought out some SPD in retaliation. It was too risky. Best course of action was to escape and get as far away as possible.
Karma later slammed Mayor Durkam as BLM protesters gathered in large numbers around her and “her wife’s” home near the Arboretum to chant “Defund the Police”; her response was “you guys, you need to go home now.” Durkan didn’t run for reelection.
In late August, early September 2020, there were repeated gunshots from cars passing through my neighborhood, likely Antifa.
Agreed. Absolutely. It's in our genes, as is our continuing evolution which prompts an emotional reaction to 'fight/flight', resulting in rationalization...all because most people are totally unprepared to cope with such situations.
Thus, the only thing that flowchart is missing is the 7-word obligatory response to LEO:
I was in fear for my life.followed by the compulsory 14 words:
I am now exercising my Constitutional right to remain silent and request an attorney.and do EXACTLY that (shut the hell up).
I don’t think it is that way.
I believe that BLM and Antifa are wholly owned and controlled by the Democrats.
They can turn them on and off at will.
Just watch and see if the next POTUS is a Republican, all that crap starts all over again..................
Ron said that you can run over if protesters are in the street...
I meant I wasn’t serious about my simplified logic, not your chart.
