In North Carolina very recently they passed a law:
If a driver feels in danger owing to a street protest that has stopped the car, the stoppers can legally be struck “with due care” (or something).
That probably means you can’t strike them at super high speed.
Or back over, and run over them repeatedly.
One of my cousins was a deputy sheriff in North Carolina in the ‘70’s, who was almost fatally injured when driving in his squad car through a “protest” in Durham NC. One of the protesters threw a concrete block through the driver’s side window and hit him in the head. These people are nothing but animals, and need to be treated as such.
Yep - allows drivers to not have to submit to being stopped and surrounded to be at the mercy of those who stopped them - they can drive through even if some remain in front of the vehicle and probably step on it hard if an actual attack on the car begins.
