I agree. Some of these videos of BLM/Antifa smashing out windows, entering vehicles, pulling people out and beating the snot outta them is insane!
Cannot imagine not feeling terror or fearing for your life/safety.
Not exactly an ideal place to be discharging a firearm to defend yourself either. Powder burns, glass debris wounds, and extreme hearing damage are all risks in that situation, despite what you see in movies.
The safest course is to accelerate the vehicle through the crowd to find safety. If some idiots want to put themselves in front of a vehicle driven by someone fleeing for their life, then by all means they should be free to do so. But don’t charge the driver. They’ve got enough to deal with with the blood and paint damage.
