Honest question, what would you do if you were surrounded by people threatening you?

This is the type of Pearl-clutching/fear mongering that lives in a head filled with propaganda. There are already laws in place which cover this type of fake scenario, the article itself dismisses the claims you're trying to make. Find me a valid use-case for this law, there are hundreds of instances where the exact opposite happens and vehicles are used as a weapon to assault protesters but all you got are fictional "what ifs"? Don't drive into a protest..... Use common sense when you see a group of people gathered on the street like any sane person would.

Dude, if a mob of people are attacking my car, I'm not just going to sit there twiddling my thumbs. You feel free to, though.

You don't have to be a cunt to make a point, especially if it's a stupid point.

During protests like five years ago, I saw a group of peeps rip someone out of their semi and beat the shit out of them.

I’m on the side of the protestors because what’s happening to the US is obviously fucked, but if I’m ever surrounded by people and have no egress, I’m going to egress by any means necessary, I fully agree with you.
