...but officials mute on how to handle

From the article:


Some have likened incidents to Charlottesville-style attempts at vehicular manslaughter, others see the protesters as the agitators putting everyday citizens at risk


Protesters who have taken to streets around the country to demand a national reckoning on racial injustice since the death of George Floyd have used the tactic of blocking traffic – and in some instances captured on video – have swarmed cars, jumped on the hoods and even attacked drivers.

Depending on their point of view, some have likened incidents to Charlottesville-style attempts at vehicular manslaughter. Others seeing videos circulating on social media view the protesters as the agitators putting the safety of everyday citizens at risk.

A recent 911 call from a frightened Virginia woman who dialed for help when protesters pounded on the hood of her vehicle and blocked her path – all while her young daughter cried in the back seat – has left many questioning what to do should police officers not intervene on their behalf.

Continued below.

What bothers me is that the victim is being portrayed as the bad person. As soon as you take action to remove yourself from harm you risk being arrested or at the least portrayed in the media as the aggressor.

Well I have been kicking around trying to share a certain Satire / Joke meme my best friend created on Facebook. And this is as good an occasion as any. I can't copy it or share it directly because of how it was created, so I will have to change out the graphics from what he used.

Happy Pre-Independence Day everyone! Now shutup and follow orders or your family will be crushed and your house burned down.

Anyone trapped in a car by violent protesters needs to recognize that they are riding in a 4000-lb 200-horsepower weapon, and act accordingly.

If you are truly and reasonable in fear for you life then using a car as a deadly weapon is justified.
