Do not stop the car. Do not get out. Do not surrender. Kill as many as you need to save yourself.
that's not a tactic. that's an isolated incident in a riot which occurred 30 years ago.
the GP said protestors had developed a tactic, implying recency, frequency, and deliberate planning; not that rioters had done it one time, spontaneously, in one isolated incident, 30 years ago.
that's what I meant by "false." GP said something false, so I identified it as false.
it wouldn't make a difference, because arguing that you can commit murder in response to theft is obviously completely ridiculous, and flies in the face of all relevant legal principles and precedents going back at least to the root of our legal system, the Magna Carta of 1215.
but I am nonetheless curious what on earth you are driving where the catalytic converter costs ten thousand dollars.
There's a reason why we give people the right to defend their life and property with violence. It keeps people civil.
Hell we let people get away with mowing down jaywalkers in LA. Why is it any different for a thief?

By the way a new converter for a Honda is 3k right now. We didn't even discuss repairs and missed work from having to deal with it.
Sounds easy with a tech income. Not so much when you're working a minimum wage gig.

Would you rather just take your chances?
And equating largely peaceful protests with the LA riots is really a mistake. The LA riots turned violent very quickly, while the BLM marches stayed peaceful by and large with the exception of right-wing agitators who started looting and fires under false flag operations.

In the two cases where protestors attacked a vehicle or its occupants either the driver already had an altercation with protestors or the vehicle struck a protestor. The original comment I was replying to implied that there was lots of footage of protestors attacking people in cars. This doesn't show any evidence of that. I still haven't seen any evidence that there is a problem of protestors attacking random cars and their occupants.
false.
But weren't actually aimed at destroying american democracy, so there's that...
... And orders of magnitude more people. Per-capita, the capitol riot is obviously more violent, and that's the only way it makes sense to measure violence. Otherwise I could say that ISIS members are less violent than catholics.
In this instance they appear to be the ones doing the pushing (of protestors) and pulling (of horses).

Neither the driver or the protesters should have been acting like a-holes, but the driver has a higher standard of care given that they're operating a 3+ ton hunk of metal and plastic.
