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.

You are having such a hard time understanding because you are trying to push a different topic than what is being discussed. The bills in the OP are about protests, not assaults. Murder as a means of self-defense is a separate issue, and one that is very subjective.
