Matt Bracken had some words of wisdom also.
not applicable in gun grabber states
they are not doing anyone else any good if not shared........or do you just feel so special knowing some thing and not sharing it?
Matt Bracken’s [Travis Mcagee] is.
Thinking that unless he was suicidal he would move, I gunned the engine and headed straight toward him. He moved.
I saw that interview. If you read what he said carefully, you will see he never did answer the question about what to do if you are in your car and surrounded by a mob. He just said to remember your car is a weapon. He never went further than that.
If you're surrounded by a violent mob, why didn't he say to rev the car as a warning and then press the pedal to the metal and start moving the bejeepers out of there as fast as you can.....and if there's some crazies still bopping on or in front of the hood of your car, bowl them over like ten-pins at Big Daddy's Bowling Emporium.
But he didn't say that....or anything close to it.

Excellent advice. Yes, there are times when situational awareness wont help. Trouble comes out of nowhere. But in general, if it looks iffy get outta Dodge.
I have told the following story before. Apologies if youve already heard it.
I once went to a exhibition given by a renowned Japanese black belt in karate. And he told us he was going to share with us his best move.
What could that move be, I wondered. A high kick? A straight punch? My best move, he said, is not to be there. In other words, exit the situation. Better yet, dont get yourself in that situation in the first place.
“What should you do if you’re driving your car and you find yourself surrounded by an angry mob?”
Make sure you double tap.
Exactly. Hit the gas and move those ahead of you aside. Drive onward to a safe place and call the cops informing them you were surrounded by an angry mob and felt your life was in danger. You fled the scene to save your and your family’s life (if applicable). Nothing more. Then call your attorney.
Keeping up with local news and knowing the hot spots in your town go a long way toward staying out of trouble.
I have pointed out to the wife the areas where a flash mob may form and start stopping cars.
Avoiding those areas only take a couple of minutes more travel time anywhere in town.
Bottom line is if it’s a choice between you and yours or them, make sure it’s them. You can talk about the aftermath later.
I did see the interview and noticed the same thing remembering the word “weapon” so I guess you just gun the engine and move.
How much longer to you reckon people are going to put up with this nonsense?
Wow!
Ok, I’ll finish it for you....
Keep your vehicle in gear, use your horn, drive forward slowly even if you have to push idiots out of the way. You are liklely un a lethal force encounter and have the natural right to self defence.
Do not stop, even if a cop tells you to do so, he has no power and therefore no authority over the vile roadblockers or you (as you already have determined the existance of a lethal force encounter).
It is nearly impossible for a crowd to tip your vehicle if you are moving even only a few miles per hour.
If armed, so what,your immediate concern is egress not countervailing armed force with a firearm.
Drive forward until you can turn on a main road preferably 90 degrees away from the threatening crowd. If alone, abd xan autodisl921, do so and leave the link open, if with anoth Dr, have them call. Tell the dispatcher what you are doing to egress. Or not, may be too intense to focus on other than survival.
Once clear, comply with police or initiate contact if you could not during the assault.
Guns? Yeah, not too useful if you have to dismount....ask the mevh infantry guys in AnNasariah. Iraq.
Do not intentionally harm anyone, but drive as if your life depends on it. It does.
Carry on.
Because he'd face lawsuits from red doper parents if he gave explicit advice and one of their red diaper doper babies got hurt from somebody following it.
