It's wiser to use your cell phone. Namely, if you get into an accident at a bad location, call 911 to report the accident and accident location and KEEP DRIVING. Tell police you are afraid for your safety and will meet up with them at a safe location (like the police station).
It’s not just Zero. Years ago something similar happened to my son-in-law and couple of his soccer teammates in Macon, GA, but no real injuries.
A large crew of `gangsta’ wanna-bes jumped them, intimidated them, mussed `em up. Of course there were no charges. Police said it happened all the time, they couldn’t be found, etc.
Zero has just made a preexisting problem worse.
No argument.
Are you trying to say the Leftist journos are sanitizing the news (in a pc manner) they report?
You have just documented multiple hate crimes ... oh, wait, vics were white. Never mind. Love, Eric Holder
Sounds like they were already trying to kill the driver.
If I were there and my son was the driver and being beaten to death, I'd shoot murderous assailants and anyone else that tried to interfere. The gunfire will cause the crowds to scatter and we can egress. If they don't, I'll get the AK out of the trunk and we'll shoot our way of this hell hole.
We'll work it out the rest of it in court, if need be.
I would add that, if in a riot situation (particularly if one has his family in the car), it’s best to keep driving if at all possible (so as to not wind up like Reginald Denny). Do not stop just because a rioter is assuming you won’t run him over.
Back in the early 1990s, there was a spate of violent black on white crimes, that the media heavily reported on, because they sold newspapers )newspapers and got people to watch TV broadcasts. Some black groups (sorry, can't remember exactly which ones but I seem to recall it was mainly college groups, not so much nationals organizations)protested the coverage, saying it was contributing to the perception that black men are violent way beyond their proportion in society . The newspaper owners and editors took heed, and THAT'S when the description of suspects as "male, 5' 8", 200 lbs" became ubiquitous-that trope has been around since at least the mid/late 1990s. The thing is, now we're on to that little trick, and so whenever the race isn't given, we all assume it's a black suspect-even though in some cases, the race might really *not* be known, due to lack of eyewitnesses and physical evidence such as hair or blood, which might indicate race. So the trope as well as being irritating and ineffective is completely counter productive.

All the more reason to carry. Oh, and load heavy hollow points.
It probably is.
sometimes a hit-n-run is the wisest course.
Just call 911 as you drive away.
I’m sure the cops have a grand old time at this trailer trash haven every Saturday night.....
Maybe where you live your history of black on white crime in the 1990s being reported on was the case, but at least in the Seattle area the media has been “sensitive” to this for far longer than that. Around here we have been translating eye witness descriptions of criminals that have not included the race as meaning black since the 1970s.
Several? More than two? Nice neighborhood. So bad, fights are not specifically enumerated.

Agreed. Much worse, imho.
I think they may be.
