he did nothing wrong and it seems that those who act recklessly like these protestors get away with anything.
(Sigh) it's so gratifying nice to see an American utilizing his Constitutional rights.
I see someone driving around a group laying in the middle of a city street, getting his truck vandalized, an object being thrown at his passenger window, endangering his passenger, and then the driver using self-defense.
The prosecutor, mayor, and chief of police also need to pay out of pocket, not the taxpayer's pocket.
Ping.
Guilty on littering (smoke bomb). Not guilty on the other charges.
His actions would not have been necessary if the police had been doing their job. Though, since I don’t know how long they had been blocking the road, the police may not have had time to respond.
Something similar happened in Los Angeles the other day. A driver was attacked by a mop in the street and started to get away only to be pulled over by the cops shortly after getting clear of the mob.
The Declaration of Independence mentions life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps this man’s pursuit of happiness is owning a nice truck. When the rioters began to try to wreak harm on his truck, then he had the right to protect his hard earned truck. He protested against them by showing them his weapon and it worked. The rioters flushed like a covey of quail. This man is innocent of all charges.
Would love to serve on the jury that tries him if there is one.

Your scam business model...
1- find videos on social media that REAL journalism creates
2- hijack the link to THEIR work
3- post it on your ad bloated site, loaded with pop ups and demanding the visitor accept your intrusive tracking cookies
4- make personal comments on your blog about what everyone can see with their own eyes
5- post a link on freerepublic to your crap blog, hiding the actual URL of the REAL journalist’s work
...so that you make your site click ad revenue on the back of the owner of THIS site, who survives on quarterly donations to survive and where we report REAL news for conservative discussion.
You’re a freeloader here, stealing the bandwidth from the very kind owner of this site.
Now donate to THIS site and stop your freeloading blog pimping. Until then, you’re no conservative, or conservative friend to those who actually donate here, and certainly no friend to the owners of this site.

If you want to share videos from real journalist’s, who are out there videoing events, post a link in a related thread and let us comment on it. Don’t hide it in your blog ad click bait. IT’S DISHONEST.
and for those who come back with “maybe the poster doesn’t know how to create a link”...this non-conservative creates a while web page full of them.
This is not the first time you’ve been asked to stop this.
Okay there was no reason for the guy to toss the smoke bomb. There was plenty of room to drive around the idiots in the street. Should the police have cleared the streets, yes, but they didn’t. Does the guy have the right to protect his property once attacked, yes. But he precipitated the whole thing with the smoke bomb. The problem is the cops are derelict in their duties which then lead to this type of confrontation.
The truck driver should get charged with being stupid and released on his own recognizance. And the protestors should be arrested and charged with trespassing and obstructing a major thoroughfare, and released on their own recognizance. And the police need to be told to their job or find another profession.
That's because, typically, there's not a 'link' to a video posted a the site. A video, unlike a hyperlink, has a lot more to it than just a URL.
States need to clarify laws on obstruction of roadways and empower drivers with clear rules for self-defense when trapped by these illegal protestors.
Not that calling my commie No.VA delegate will do any good, but I will put it out there.
So, again, criminal cops arrest the person trying to protect himself and criminal DA charge the person trying to protect himself while letting the criminal attackers.go free.
