You're right. There's just that one guy swinging a stick after the car passes by. I don't even think he did any damage.
In any event, suddenly panicking and running people down is unlikely to be considered what a "reasonable" person would do under the same circumstances—which is supposed to be the standard. But it only takes one juror to hang a jury.
Do you think that's sufficient justification for accelerating forward and mowing people down?
Because I don't, and I doin't think a jury will either...
I agree, he was not justified.
