I was listening to Massad Ayoob recently (I think being interviewed by Gresham on GunTalk), and he was talking about how to deal with these mobs if you are surrounded in your car.
(his best advice was to check the news all the time and not drive anywhere where they are...)
If I understood him correctly, you can’t shoot them/run them over unless they are aiming weapons at you or trying to get your door open/take you out of your vehicle. If any of those, then you’re clear to defend yourself and engage.
But a mob invading a restaurant, standing in your space, screaming in your face demanding political obsequiousness, and implying violence for non-compliance?
If not armed, I am thinking at the very least, cutlery, wine bottle, wine glasses, hot soup or coffee...and a lawyer on speed dial.
Thoughts?

Yes, that is the best and most common advice I have heard. Freeper and author Matt (???) provides the same advice. Situation awareness. If you can, drive an auto with plenty of ground clearance (not a corvette) so you can drive over curbs and onto sidewalks as you execute a u turn

If the mob is close enough to touch your car, you are out of options. Your car is recked. Drive forward under 5 miles per hour??????

Get some of those foam earplugs you and roll up and stick in your ear.
These are great, they cut out the high db sound, as you have a conversation
Freeper Travis McGee has great advice.
He is an author in real life, Travis ?????
If somebody pulls a gun in front of my vehicle, as in the photo attached to the article, I’m going head down and hammer down. Period. I’m not going to wait to be shot.
In cases where guns are not seen, I’ll drive forward at 5mph. This gives any roadblockers the choice to walk out of the way, or not. Their choice. No human can stop a car moving even at 5hp.
If a window is broken, I’ll take it as a warning that commercial fireworks (incendiary grenade inside a vehicle) or a molotov cocktail is coming in. So if a window is breached, I’m going head down and hammer down.
