former Navy SEAL Jack Carr
'If it doesn't look right, it's probably not' What should you do if you're driving your car and you find yourself surrounded by an angry mob?
That's the question that former Navy SEAL Jack Carr answered Friday on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight." What's the background?
Violent protests and unrest have been commonplace in major cities nationwide since the tragic killing of George Floyd. Though demonstrations have fizzled out in most cities, protests continue in cities like Portland, Seattle, and Chicago.
On Sunday, a shocking video went viral because it showed an angry mob in Portland force a white man out of his wrecked truck; that driver was then brutally assaulted. Fortunately, police have since arrested the suspect.
The situation has left many wondering: With protesters routinely blocking highways and harassing motorists, what exactly should one do if they find themselves in a similar situation? What did Carr say?
Carr explained:
Some of those basics are: Stay in the car, doors closed, locks, locked doors, windows up, and that only allows you some level of protection. It does give you a level of protection but it only goes so far, but the main thing is to avoid those right away.
So, situational awareness. Looking around, being aware that there are threats, picking your head up out of that phone and turning around. If you turn a corner and you see something that doesn't look right — as an army special forces sniper from Vietnam told me years ago — he said, "if it doesn't look right, it's probably not." So trust those instincts and pay attention to that sixth sense that has kept us alive as a species since we've been on this planet. If it doesn't look right, turn around, reverse, get out of there.
But what if you find yourself surrounded by a "violent mob?" According to Carr, one should know how to use their tools of defense.
"So remember, your vehicle is a weapon, but you don't want to be in that position to begin with," he said. "Now, if you do get to that phase where you have to fight, it's good to be prepared and to know how to fight."
And for those with firearms, Carr instructed people to "invest" in firearm training, so they know how to properly use it in a situation where they need to defend themselves or their family.
"Get that training," Carr advised. "For those who are wrestling with the fact that they might have to defend themselves, I always think, 'What if you just appeared here out of nowhere and all of a sudden you were violently attacked by a person or a group of people?' You wouldn't need a piece of paper that told you it was okay to defend this gift of human life."
Yep, I agree.
Ping.
Look for a straight piece of road, close your eyes, and GUN IT!
We got his hidden message because we Freepers are trained in such subtleties....others who saw his advice were left hanging and may or may not have gotten his drift.

If your car is disabled, you are done. Save firearms as a very last resort IMO no matter how gun friendly your state is. If things are that bad you WILL run out of ammo fast, so choose your shots carefully.
Just remember though - you’d still be alive!
“He just said to remember your car is a weapon”
You don’t understand?
The first rule is to avoid such areas with info/intel first. Not going to Portland,Seattle and typical sh*tholes. The a-hole politicians and municipalities of these sh*tholes BTW are not putting up any signs or warning of danger in the hoods and highways so due diligence needs to be used. In such situations if enveloped,I would be prepared to kill those who want to kill me......which would put me in prison so bottom line is AVOID.
It didn’t go so well for James Fields.
Hmmm...
Some of us are armed to the teeth.
Body count will be high if they do this.
“ He just said to remember your car is a weapon. He never went further than that.”

Let me finish the statement for him.
Put the gas pedal to the floor and drive straight through/over the mother F¥ckers.
Yes, of course being alive is preferable to being dead but if anyone thinks they can run over BLM protesters with zero consequences, even while fleeing for their lives, they will be mistaken.
At the very minimum you can expect that your name, your address, your employer, the names of your family members, and where your kids go to school will be doxxed on social media. From there, it could get much, much worse.
Some folks are starting to carry AR or AK pistols. You get the ballistical horsepower of a rifle to some degree with the small manueverability of a pistol. With a couple of 30 round mags ready with one already seated in the mag well you can give several Anitfa/BLM types the worst day of their lives in a big hurry.
I did too.....It doesn't matter if he was a Navy Seal or not, that doesn't make him a specialist on riot evasions.............I wish these guys would just stick to their professions..........
That’s definitely having a bad day.
He wussed out on “drive on through” which is the only option when surrounded by a mob.
First rule is always.... Situational Awareness.
