Self-defense is ALWAYS a valid excuse
If my vehicle is surrounded, I am driving over them
I have a nice big Dodge Ram 2500 with a lift kit. I won’t even need to scrape any nasty bits out of my undercarriage
“Your honor, I remembered Reginald Denney and I was in fear of my life”....
I would run them over, and the drop it into reverse!
They defense is that you were in fear of your life. Works in every state I know of.
LOL, I always thought you might drive a big rig like that, Mr.K.
If surrounded by a pack of looting thugs, I’ll put the pedal to the metal and let the chips fall where they may.
I would do the same.
I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would actually stop.
I like the Flamethrower under each door idea
Thank you, very interesting and hopefully never useful information.
Better to be tried by 12 peers instead of carried to your grave by 6 pall bearers.
Goes without saying. Always better to be judged by nine instead of carried by six.
Proceeding intently along the roadway is not "running them down." Changing direction to target someone is running someone down.

Reginald Denny is an object lesson and historical precedent here
Personally?
Driving around a group blocking the road seems reasonable and no one gets hurt.
Driving away around people quickly seems reasonable if someone throws stuff at my vehicle that could damage my vehicle and/or hurt me.
If people want to throw themselves in front of a person driving away to try to keep that person from driving away, they will win Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes.
Preventing someone from having freedom of movement is kidnapping. Use of deadly force is always justified against attempted kidnapping, because that is a “forcible felony”, just like rape and murder.
Why is the stupid question being asked?
criminal gangs have no right to surround your vehicle, it involves threat, meanace, and raises probable hostage-taking and kidnapping charges, etc
i cant give any legal advice of course, but if they try it on me, I will ask them to let me leave and then if they keep me imprisoned i will tell them i intend to leave by shifting into gear and pressing my gas pedal. if they don’t clear a path they will get hit, period.
to hell with the thugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if they want to call the police, fine and dandy i will deal with that when and if the time comes. meanwhile, they WILL I PROMISE YOU not imprison me on the public way
to HELL with the thugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and if people drive thru them ,, they’re still DAMned lucky folks don’t just blow their brains out)
“If my vehicle is surrounded, I am driving over them”
If I felt the only way to preserve my life would be to drive over them, I would too.
The outcome would be just totally nasty. Anyone defending themselves in such a manner would be tried in the MSM much the same way the various cops that have killed these dirt bags have been. More riots would occur at the defendants home, the home would be destroyed and violent acts likely carried out on anyone inside. The cops would try to help, butt our dear democrat/commie friends would just keep race baiting, lying and doing their best to fan whatever flame that may exist.
obama and Hitlery would take to the cameras statements supporting the riots and condemning the innocent.
