In modern times, the same applies. Bring a bag of EBT cards and a trunk full of expensive sneakers to hand out to the “protestors”, and they will let you pass safely.

Maybe get stickers on all sides of the car that say, “Follow me for your free Obamaphone?”

And, as always is the case, never say anything to the police or anyone else about what happened until your lawyer tells you to. Do that no matter what the police say to you. Even if they are patting you on the back and getting you coffee after running over a few natives. Mum’s the word. “I’ll make a statement after I talk to my lawyer. Are you arresting me? OK.”

And this includes everything. Don’t even admit its your car or who was driving. Nothing, nada, zip.

These “security experts” are wrong. If you follow their advice in the middle of a riot with urban youths all around you, you will be seriously injured or killed. It is the height of absurdity to give such advice. The article should entitle them “politically correct security pundits”.

They certainly wouldn’t be giving this advice to a high value client who is beset upon.

[Gaffer]

gotta be careful not to get one of them hung up in a wheel well though. It makes and awful mess.

“I was in fear for my life” Works for the police!

[CorporateStepsister]

I trust you have four wheel drive?

[Shimmer1]

Can you say TOO LATE FOR THAT???? This says if you’re surrounded and they’re rocking your car, not whether you choose to go out and get a Sunday paper.

Are they kidding?!? Haul @ss like a bat out of hell...

Here is the car flamethrower:

The Blaster (also called the “BMW Flamethrower”) was a 1998 invention by South African inventor Charl Fourie designed to provide a defence against carjackings.

The invention came in response to the increasingly severe violent crime situation in South Africa, which in 1998 had already made the country (particularly Johannesburg) the per capita murder, assault, rape and carjacking capital of the world.[1] The Blaster was a liquefied petroleum gas flamethrower installed along the sides of the vehicle under the doors. Should a group of carjackers suddenly attack the vehicle while it is stopped in traffic (the typical scenario), the occupant could flip a switch and direct 5 metre plumes of flame upward into the facial area of anyone trying to enter the vehicle through the doors or windows.

Fourie claims it is unlikely to kill but would “definitely blind” the assailant. In South Africa, it is legal to use lethal force in self-defence if in fear of one’s life, and ownership of flamethrowers is unrestricted.

I used to hang out with that guy in high-school.

The Blaster received ample (and often satirical) media coverage from abroad. In particular, it earned its inventor the 1999 Ig Nobel Peace Prize (a parody of the real Nobel Prizes).

Back and forth,

Back and forth,

‘round and ‘round until the street is all quiet

But slippery and bumpy.

Not really, just angry this morning.

Yep

During the race riots of the '60s, I lived in Rochecter, NY. I caddieid for my great uncle and he was driving us back when we stopped because a car ahead of us was surrounded by a gang of Blacks and they were rocking it from side to side. They saw us and let the car go while heading our way. My uncle told me there was no way those bastards were going to do it to us - he then stepped on the gas and muttered something about scatter or splatter. They all managed to get out of the way and we were not molested.

I would have my gun in hand and start moving briskly and let them fend for themselves - it's insane to worry about hurting a mob of folks more than to worry about your own self preservation; endangered just because you happened to be "White and driving".

Proceed where you are going. If someone gets run over....... tough nookies

Your life is of no value if they kill you

[Malsua]

drive slowly but purposefully ahead. If they don’t get out of the way run them over.

Exactly this. I've been in personal security seminars and this topic is generally covered and this is instruction: Just. Drive. Away.

People that will not move are threatening your life because they are in league with someone who will pull you out of the car and kill you.

Play bluegrass, “Sinner, Where Ya Gonna Hide?”.

A recording of the “computer warnings” from the movie Alien”Self destruct has now been activated” that they have “five minutes to reach minimal safe distance” might get their attention. One of many of the scariest and entertaining parts of that movie!

Norwegian black metal would be my choice.
