Oh, and back in the mid-60’s, my father was driving home from Walter-Reed Hospital and ran smack dab into a “race riot” in the streets.

The mob of ‘yuts” in the street started to attack and pound on his car (a Volkswagen Beetle) and he told me: “I just downshifted to 2nd and hit the gas. . .they bounced off the car and I was clear.”

For small mobs, that works.

It doesn’t work for sport mobs though. A few dozen people is one thing, but 40 000 people is a whole different story.
