Two cases of stupid resulting in bad things. Brown didn’t get on the sidewalk and this person didn’t move from in front of a car.

“I was in fear of my life.”

That’s all the driver needs to say.

That’s how it’s done, folks.

A pile of humans can’t stop even an economy station wagon from moving forward.

Just so you know if it ever comes to it.
