I was talking about your comment where you said there's no good reason for a random person to run another person over because they're blocking the way.
If you're talking about within the realms of a peaceful protest then I agree with you.
But if that protest takes any kind of violent expression then it could be justifiable to drive through people to escape violence.
To clear up my views, until someone shows actual intent of assault, use of lethal force is not justified, and even then it is subjective. Blocking traffic, and intent of assault are separate things, no need to conflate them. The bill is absolutely horrible.
I'm not saying blocking traffic and assualt are the same.
I'm not saying that rioting and protesting are the same.
I'm saying that riots can be a form of desctructive protest.
I'm saying there are instances of blocking traffic in order to assault/rob/cause criminal damage.
And in some of those instances I do see it as justified to drive forwards to try and escape violence.
If a person is run over in some of those instances then I imagine there are times when the driver of the vehicle could be seen to have taken a justifiable action.
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.
