Not enough information. If the driver is black and the people being run over are white, no harm no foul. If the driver is white, he is an alt right white nationalist and the people he hit were downtrodden victims of a racist system, so...Vegas » 16 Oct 2023, 9:49 am » wrote: ↑ it resulted in fatalities? I know it would depend on what state it happened in. However, should their be any penalties? I say no. Usually there are no penalties for hitting jaywalkers who aren't in crosswalks. They put themselves in harm's way. This should be treated the same way. They are putting themselves in harm's way.

Simple. I'd give a medal to BOTH!Mrkelly » 16 Oct 2023, 6:06 pm » wrote: ↑ no
" here's the reality of what you're intentionally dismissing."
I asked both of them if it was people protesting drag queens reading to children, or a MAGA crowd protesting biden
would they still be OK with some lefty loony drove through the protests?
they both said "yes"
which one of them deserve a medal?

Being kidnapped is more than an inconvenience. Shouting outside my window, making a ruckus - THOSE are an inconvenience. Bringing my vehicle to a stop by using your body as blockage can and will turn you into a speed bump. Your choice.

protesters shouldn’t inconvenience anyone
what good would that do?

stay on the sidewalk or you should be run over
Glad you weren't around during the Vietnam war
I will plow through ANY group that tries to kidnap me - unless they are clearly big enough to stop my forward momentum. In which case I WILL stop, exit my vehicle, say, "Sorry I'm late," and join the protest.Mrkelly » 16 Oct 2023, 3:45 pm » wrote: ↑protests are not meant to disrupt
yes lil feller, they are
why else would they get attention?
stand along the road and say "pretty please, stop the war"![]()
you are one of those people that drove by us protesters, giving a thumbs up
instead of joining us
clueless in Vegas
if someone drove through a MAGA group protesting biden
you would scream like a mashed cat
LMFAO - I went big screen. Went and got popcorn and watched it AGAIN!
My mama told me if I'm going to protest in the street, look both ways or I will get run over.

if a group of MAGA people take to the streets to protest a stolen election
they wouldn't move for an ambulance?

One, there is a video of protesters blocking a main road with them handcuffed or tied to what looks like an empty metal boat trailer (in Texas, I believe), stopping traffic for miles until a police car tore through it, dragging a few of them along for a few feet, but certainly an action that could have resulted in serious injury or death. The cops then pulled over and got out to handcuff and arrest those lying in the street. End of protest. Period.
So how can people not believe they can do the same?
Secondly, if I was a person driving, maybe with my wife and kids in the car, and slowed to a stop at the line of protesters, I'd be putting my family in danger of an unruly mob then surrounding my car and becoming a serious threat to our own safety. And that's all a jury would have to hear to rule that my action in plowing through them was completely justified.
And finally, no one seems to recognize the fact that IF this was found to be legal, even if some protesters were hurt or killed, this kind of stupid **** would stop immediately, and no longer be an issue because protesters wouldn't try it again!
If that were to take place, the driver would deserve a medal!
