His lawyer will definitely not want this video where he starts his run in a near empty street and accelerates towards a dense crowd nearly a block away in front of him.

Not necessarily. What happened before that video began? Did someone the individuals car which caused him to accelerate and panic? All these videos are just snippets for the time being. They all need to parsed together before the complete picture can be known.

As for me if I was in that situation, that gas pedal won't hit the floor fast enough. The sight of what happened to Reginald Denny should be enough of a lesson for anyone.

Lol — The video you posted shows his car being hit with a club by one of the BLM/AntFa protester as he’s driving down the street.

Whatever happened is going to be difficult to sort out, since at one moment the driver appears to be braking before hitting the crowd of people. Knowing what happened in the moments after that will be critical to any final verdict. That's a job for the jury.

The attack on the vehicle afterwards is likely to be grounds for a self defense argument for anything that happened after the attack on the vehicle, as well as the charges related to leaving the scene of an accident.
