I’ve never been a big truck guy, but now I’m thinking of a lifted F-350 with 33” wheels and a 150 dB train horn.

Good point, CW. It’s also possible the BLM folks themselves flagged down the police. As in “We were just standing there, and that guy in the white car tried to run us over.”
Lifted, 35s, 550 horse duramax with aggressive work tires should be able to move. I would not hesitate to throw four wheel drive on and roll coal right through them.
I can absolutely see that happening. Or worse.
Two sides can play this game.
They asked for it though.
Bkmrk.
(18 1/2” barrel so not illegal)
Remember it cannot be shorter than 26” overall length.
From our own Travis McGee / former SEAL Matt Bracken:
1. I never ever stop (at a red light or anywhere) nearer than 15 feet from the vehicle in front. This allows me to accelerate out even if the timid fool in front is afraid to move.
2. If I see even a hint of a protest, I get in the inside lane, so I’m not trapped along the curb side by vehicles on my left.
3. If anybody stands in front of my vehicle, I’m going to move forward at 5mph. At 5mph or 35, a human cannot stop or even slow a vehicle. Its many horsepower vs one human power. No contest. Car wins. At 5mph, you are demonstrating (to a later hypothetical court) that your intention was not to run anybody down. They can simply move out of the way, or not.
4. After the Portland beat down, I have a reasonable fear of death or grave bodily injury if I’m pulled from my vehicle by an angry mob. I’m not stopping. I’ll keep a steady 5 mph forward speed.
5. If I see a gun brandished, or one of my windows is breached, I’m going hammer down, and to hell with anybody in front of me. “Fear for my life.”
6. I will not pull my own gun as long as my vehicle is moving. It’s just a better weapon than a pistol, and the vehicle gets you clear of the danger zone, a pistol does not.
7. I will only pull my pistol if my vehicle is physically stopped, (and I don’t mean by idiots standing in front of it.)
We’re close to a big city and we don’t go down there not because of the Antifa/BLM type but the criminals that have been released because of a Soros bought and paid for DA and courts that give out none or very little bail and they’re running wild. If we had to go downtown you can bet we’d be locked and loaded. Our governor has set up law enforcement conditions as to what Texas will NOT tolerate with these BLM savages.......I noticed there wasn’t any mention of arrests for blocking streets and I surmise in not mentioning that we can run the punks over if they get in our way.........;)
Both videos should be required viewing in journalism classes and among those who really want to see a concrete example of how the media can spin any narrative they want to with selective editing. Completely infuriating on many levels, especially the fact that the escaping driver was the only one arrested by the police.
The police should have been preventing the "peaceful protest" from spilling into the streets and blocking traffic in the first place, but they are obviously still under 'stand down' orders from the brass and the mayor's office. I imagine the thugs in the pickup truck and the green convertible were not even given a ticket.
I hope some attorneys see this video and offer to represent this driver from a defense perspective as well as a future lawsuit against the perps, the city and the media for their selective editing and narrative spinning (similar to the Nick Sandmann situation).
Hopefully when this whole s**t show is all said and done we can hang the politicians and so called leaders who not only allowed this but encouraged it.
There was an incident at the intersection of two major boulevards in Atlanta that never made the news, despite there being plenty of Twitter vids of the event. <20 miles from where I live, and within a couple miles of the houses of two close friends I see regularly.
This is why you should always carry your .40.
When I lived in the city of Chicago if I found myself in an bad area my car became a 3000 pond bullet if they tried jumping in front of my car
We used to say
Boom Boom
switch to reverse
Boom Boom
Put in drive and leave alive...
Boom Boom
Just as the people on Free Republic who worship the NFL despite the fact that the NFL members despise them the degree of contempt they hold them in time after time. after time after time. And the things they do to humiliate them such as wearing the names of criminals and rapists on their helmets and jerseys, publicly kneel showing their support of BLM, and raise your clenched fist in support of BLM. Like abused wives, the fans slink back time after time pledging their allegiance to the NFL criminals vs American Patriots. But, what can one do? Life is full of choices and they choose.
Gotta get one of these.
People here are not even aware cwii has begun and that they need to do things now.
too many stuck in normalcy bias and sop inertia
Problem solved...if you can find one.
my dtr has sold her house in Portlandia and has put a bid on a nice little country property outside a small little bitty town in eastern Washington....
all people should move away from the rat infested cities....take your money and run....
Go back and look at post#7.
