I'm not asking for permission to run anyone over or shoot anyone.
I know my best option is to avoid the situation.
I've seen footage of people standing against the hood/bumper at the front of a car in traffic. Thats where the driver's attention will be.
At the same time.another hijack "team" member stabs the tires.deflating them.
As another"team" member starts bashing windows with a skateboard,or bricks,or a hammer.
This is not my wild imagination. This stuff happens. Right here in USA.
If this happened in the Middle East,in Mexico,,etc,it would be part of a hijacking,robbery,murder,or kidnapping.
And every violent technique to bust an ambush would be the appropriate response to survive.
Today,a local official advised he had heard there was to be a pro-law enforcement rally someplace local.
He had also been advised there would be a counter demonstration.
He advised everyone has a right to freedom of expression,but violence or destruction would not be tolerated.
OK,I'm simply going to avoid the whole thing.
But even so,the unexpectd can happen.
I'm not too worried about it,it only brings home that it CAN happen here.
If I'm in the vehicle,I AM in mortal fear for my life.
Realistically,the prosecutor might say my little inconvenience at having to stop momentarily for peaceful protestor does not justify aggravated vehicular assault
Similarly,I probably can't justify deadly force against the property crime of stabbing some 10 year old tires.
And what is the property value of the glass in a 35 year old pickup?
How do I prove the intent of a group of young peaceful protestors?
Real life is out there,folks. What do we do?
