"... Who knows what could have happened to you? On that note, I take you back 22 ½ years … wow it’s really been that long … to the L.A. Rodney King riots. Let me refresh you with this clip of the white truck driver, Reginald Denny, who somewhere that was not safe for white people to be. ..."

"... who happens to be something of an expert in self-defense. Here’s what he wrote in regard to what happened in Minneapolis: He wrote: 'one word of advice … if they block your car and threaten your family and life … push gas firmly … this is self-defense … as given an opportunity … ie (you stopping), they will kill you!' That is exactly what the driver in Minnesota seems to do. ..."

And the patriot John Adams defended the British soldiers who shot those patriots, or, if your prefer, those brick-throwing, law-breaking members of a mob, because they were that also.

While I am no relativist, I do wish to point out that no one in the Minneapolis crowd was throwing bricks at the driver before he ran over people, and that the perception of mob or demonstrators for a just cause, anarchists or patriots, depends somewhat on who writes the history books, and whose ox is being gored.

Oh, so now the guy in Minneapolis was driving a tank? More ridiculous moral equivalence.

Better to be judged by twelve then carried by six.

Look at the first two seconds of the video in linked in Post 5. The driver has a clear view of the path to the left. He also would have seen the crowd to the right, but I guess he really, really wanted to turn right.

Nope, but the man standing in front of the tank is Governor Wallace’s anarchist.

I read some where the words “right to life , liberty and happiness”. I also heard LSM say “peaceful protests”.


Ii wonder where the Party of the first expression has to give way to those that abuse the second expression? Is blocking the roads and highways a lawful means of protest?
Conundrum or rhetorical, that is the question!

[FULL] Hit-and-run driver smashes through crowd of Ferguson protesters and drags woman

Both videos of the incident shown in that video. You can see people mobbing the car and jumping on it before he makes any attempt to escape. Completely justified in fearing for his life.

This picture is for you, because I've enjoyed arguing with you today, and getting it out of my system for tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving.

From the Daily Mail: Idiot girl in first group to jump on car blocks driver's view with banner and takes selfie while car runs into another girl.

We weren’t arguing, we were having a discussion. ;)

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.

Witnesses tell police Uzong and Horton had been fighting before the incident. Witnesses say Uzong drove through a parking lot and swerved to intentionally hit Horton.

That sure doesn't match the video. The car was moving very slowly as it approached the crowd. How could she have targeted the other woman who was deeper into the crowd? Possible but doesn't look likely.

That picture alone exonerates the driver. Once people jumped on the car and intentionally obscured his view he reasonably feared for his life. The other video from above shows several people closing on the car before that and jumping on it and hitting it. All of that happened prior to any acceleration.
