It seems like a crazy urban legend: In China, drivers who have injured pedestrians will sometimes then try to kill them. And yet not only is it true, but it’s also fairly common; security cameras have regularly captured drivers driving back and forth on top of victims to make sure that they are dead. The Chinese language even has an adage for the phenomenon: “It is better to hit to kill than to hit and injure.”
In contrast in our country, BLM regularly blocks roads and in most situations, the drivers are the ones that took the hit.
When massive demonstrations against racial injustice erupted across the nation last summer, protesters used an increasingly common tactic to draw attention to their cause: swarming out onto major roads to temporarily paralyze traffic.
This method sometimes resulted in searing images of drivers plowing through crowds, causing serious injuries and in some cases, deaths.
Now, Republican politicians across the country are moving to stop the road-blocking maneuver, proposing increased penalties for demonstrators who run onto highways and legal immunity for drivers who hit them. The bills are among dozens introduced in Legislatures aimed at cracking down on demonstrations.
Drivers will have more freedom to act when they get attacked and a video that was sent to us this morning shows that sometimes the drivers will have to react in order to save their lie.
The video was allegedly filmed in Ohio and it shows a driver in a red car who is attacked by three people. One is armed with a knife and the other with a hammer. The driver hits the gas in reverse striking all three with the knive and the hammer falling from their hands.

If the driver didn't react in time he would probably be dead and in this case he took justice into his own hands.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
Is this how Uber works?
Because if this is how Uber works, I’ll just rent a car.
Good work.
Took out all three in one hit.
With them screaming like banshees.
Clapping!!
Panic, hit the wrong peddle. Siht happens.
As Jackie Gleason would have said, ‘how sweet it is’.

I have read about that. In China, a driver evidently would have to pay more money to an injured pedestrian than he would to the family of a dead pedestrian.
So...
The had to hurt the one guy who got squeezed against the other car, the two women not so much..
It’s those darn red cars.
Filthy communists.
They were coming after that driver. He knocked them down like bowling pins. I don’t know what came before that, but it has become common for people to surround and immobilize somebody’s car with a plan to break windows and break heads right after that. I am assuming this was the case here.
ummm... that was NO random encounter
Think George Wallace.
The driver pulled forward and could have driven off. He, or she, then reversed into the attackers, or threateners, and drove off on the original forward path. Another man ran up, he may have been in the original path.
I couldn’t see the driver. Maybe it was a black person and this was a personal dispute, rather than a racial attack.
That was one heck of a video. Global Warming sure does make people do crazy things.
Looks like one got smashed against the truck.
Too bad.
It was a nice truck.
If you’re driving a car, you have the biggest weapon. It’s just training people out of that mindset of “you can’t do that” when your life ir safety are on the line.

It was that guy on Fox News?
Man
First Geraldo goes crazy and now this.
The three weapon wielders were standing back, not attacking, when the driver reversed into them.
Not a good shoot.
Driver may face a problem. The video makes it appear the car was out of the zone of danger before it backed up into the zone again. I wouldn’t want to defend the driver.
