While I am no relativist, I do wish to point out that no one in the Minneapolis crowd was throwing bricks at the driver before he ran over people, and that the perception of mob or demonstrators for a just cause, anarchists or patriots, depends somewhat on who writes the history books, and whose ox is being gored.
Oh, so now the guy in Minneapolis was driving a tank? More ridiculous moral equivalence.
Better to be judged by twelve then carried by six.
Look at the first two seconds of the video in linked in Post 5. The driver has a clear view of the path to the left. He also would have seen the crowd to the right, but I guess he really, really wanted to turn right.
Nope, but the man standing in front of the tank is Governor Wallace’s anarchist.
He pays for those roads too, he's entitled.
I read some where the words “right to life , liberty and happiness”. I also heard LSM say “peaceful protests”.
Both videos of the incident shown in that video. You can see people mobbing the car and jumping on it before he makes any attempt to escape. Completely justified in fearing for his life.
From the Daily Mail: Idiot girl in first group to jump on car blocks driver's view with banner and takes selfie while car runs into another girl.
We weren’t arguing, we were having a discussion. ;)
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.
Witnesses tell police Uzong and Horton had been fighting before the incident. Witnesses say Uzong drove through a parking lot and swerved to intentionally hit Horton.
That sure doesn't match the video. The car was moving very slowly as it approached the crowd. How could she have targeted the other woman who was deeper into the crowd? Possible but doesn't look likely.
That picture alone exonerates the driver. Once people jumped on the car and intentionally obscured his view he reasonably feared for his life. The other video from above shows several people closing on the car before that and jumping on it and hitting it. All of that happened prior to any acceleration.
