BLM/Antifa mob surround your car — do you run over people to defend yourself?

[eddiehaskell]

Look topics like this can’t be discussed anywhere without being called racist, Russian, or whatever.

Just don’t be a dumb arse and get in these situation. Morbid to think about but you always gotta be prepared for the worst.

Mods shut it down.

[Lefticle]

If my life is in danger, I’m getting tf out of there regardless of who is in my way.

[bigcat3655]

Absolutely

[eddiehaskell]

If my life is in danger, I’m getting tf out of there regardless of who is in my way.

I’ve had some say I’d go to prison for such an act.

Tried by 12 or carried by 6?

Probably just a matter of time before these rioters fukk with the wrong person that don’t play being held hostage.

[GuineaDago585]

Wondering the same thing srs.

I mean I subscribe to the belief that it’s better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. But what are the legal ramifications for running protesters over? If I pull up to an intersection and a crowd of 40 BLM protesters stops me in my tracks trying to smash my windows and pull me out of the car, I have to assume that’s the green light to use deadly force, right?

But what if they’re just sitting in the road, not provoking anyone. That’s where the law gets blurry. Would the below be legal?

If they break a window you can floor it. That generally is the widely assumed breaking point where you can reasonably fear for your life.

I would think if you approach the crowd that’s already in the street — your fault.

If you’re just going about your business and they come around your car essentially trapping you.....well you’ll go to court and have a national trial but I don’t see any way to convict for murder.

The angry mob which is sometimes known to be violent surrounding your vehicle is essentially the same as pointing a gun at someone.

We’ve all seen people getting killed and assaulted. It’s a known thing that can arise within the mob.

Don’t become a statistic and dead at the hands of some lunatic antifa/BLM supporter.

Would be the WORST way to go...

[gregxy]

If surrounded, suggest you sit there and smile and appear to support their cause.
If they break the glass, try to burn the car etc. then hit the gas.

Why would I need to wait until that point?

By the time my window is broken, I could already have people jumping in or pulling me out of the car.

I’m not going down like that.

By the time you are surrounded by 50 people breaking your glass....you are at the will of the mob.

Goodluck....you will have died for no cause.

[topperstyle]

A car is replaceable.

So yes, I would do whatever is necessary.

[Travis99]

Floor it then hire a good lawyer claim self defense and sue for any damage to my car.

[Shortfuze]

I'll roll down the window just a bit and play some Soul Train to pacify the crowd. Good music soothes the soul.

[Trillhouse]

Why would they be surrounding my car?

I haven't done anything to antagonise them like waving a Confederate flag or shouting something racist out the window.

[Dave22reborn]

Floor it, and then call the police and find the nearest station.

[gregxy]

A lot of protesting/rioting going on. Have not yet seen a case of someone who was sitting in a motionless or slowly
moving car being pulled out and beaten. If you over react and injure someone with your car you will be vilified and sued, your life will be ruined.

Trump people need to be extra careful. The media would LOVE to see a trump supporter run over a bunch of
people.

[SultanofBling]

Nah. I'll chill.

[eddiehaskell]

Why should YOU be scared to have your own viewpoints?

Let me get this straight...in America we have to fear that others will know where we stand then get pulled from our car and take our beating for having those beliefs?

That would be bringing our assault on ourself?

GTFO out with that pussy talk.

[Stizzel]

I believe we’ve seen enough chaos to view an angry mob surrounding your vehicle to be a act of hostility.

If you’re in the car with your family, do you plow through to reach safety/call police or do wait around to see what they want?

I’d feel like a total pussy if I sat in the car while my family is pulled out and possibly assaulted by some trash.

I'd look up local self defense laws and maybe ask a lawyer if it really concerns you. Otherwise use your best judgement and remember the saying better judged by 12 than carried by 6

[topperstyle]

Nah. I'll chill.

Wincel, you don’t even own a car.

We’ve seen enough violence to not assume an angry mob surrounding our vehicle is just an attempt to chat about the weather. Remember — the mob stopping your vehicle puts you at the mercy of each individual rioter.

You’d probably sit around while the angry hoards rape your family....well I had no idea they’d get aggressive.

[ImBunky]

My plan is to stay away from these shtholes where a bunch of jobless losers are roaming the streets.

[AlwaysFocus]

Id switch into 4 high, lock the rear diff and depress the accelerator pedal towards the floor

Sad to say but we might have a situation like this before November.

Not everyone plays stupid games with rioters. And some people won’t live in fear to go anywhere they normally might go (and should have the right to go without fear).

If only Killdozer was here to help clean up the BLM filth

You would likely be arrested for running over protestors. But with the violence from these groups lately any competent lawyer could get you off. The guy who was pulled from is car and beat in Portland would be a good enough defense.

[SultanofBling]

I actually have a BMW

[JoshSP1985]

I'm just saying that's clear cut. My personal opinion like yours is that once the mob tries to stop your travel they are criminally detaining you and you should be able to flee.

I think all violence surrounding the situation of riots and protest would be enough to justify acting out of fear of the unknown. Mob surrounding car...held hostage, can’t move...yelling...just a heated situation similar to pointing a gun at someone. Doesn’t mean the person would pull the trigger of the gun they point but the threat is there.

Even worse they're almost all criminals or have criminal records as well. These BLM/Antifa mobs are the dregs of society.
