Video showing his car was struck by baseball bat BEFORE he sped up:
Nope, he gets hit with the bat well after he sped up:
This video starts with him stomping it — you can hear his tires chirp. A few seconds later the guy hits him with the bat.
My question is what was happening that caused him to accelerate initially. Did he just spontaneously decide to launch forward into the crowd? If so, then it was malicious. Or was he being surrounded by bat-wielding antifa and perhaps having his car attacked? In that case, it was panicked flight from a threat.

He was almost stopped before he was struck.
