If it's an organized protest then yeh I agree you can pick another route and police should disperse the crowd.
On the other hand there are situations that might not be as clear cut as that. If a persons car is being blocked all of a sudden often the driver has no idea of the intent of the people blocking the path until the vehicle is stopped. Then they will find out if they're going to get pulled out of the car and have rocks thrown at their head, or if it's a peaceful protest. But they shouldn't have to wait for that to happen, in that instance running over the people blocking the way is justified.
No, what you are describing is assault, and yes in case of assault one should defend themselves. But running over someone for simply protesting by blocking traffic is not justifiable.
In murica, that granny across the street can easily pull a gun on me, so should I just randomly drive over her so that I "don't have to wait for that to happen"?
If that granny pulls a gun out on you while in front of your vehicle then I think it would be classed as reasonable force to run her over.
I don't understand why you are saying no to begin your sentence.
I fully understand that I am indeed describing an assault. Yes I am describing an assault. That's the point I'm making. Describing an assault that might happen in some instances where a vehicle is surrounded and the driver of the vehicle doesn't know the intentions of the people blocking the path.
I'd extend that to describing robbery, theft of a vehicle and so on. A vehicle could be stopped for any number of crimes.
I'm not saying the best thing to do is plow through everybody incase someone in front of you is a criminal.
But I can understand that if someone is run over as a result of blocking someone's path in certain circumstances I think it would be justifiable action. Which I can't see how anyone could disagree with but on this forum....who knows.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
