My understanding of that was that if you are in a bad situation then you have the right to protect yourself, and get out of that situation. If a person is injured or even killed trying to block your car and your escape from that, then it is a matter of self defense. I would agree with that. You go slowly, and they are not allowed to impede your progress. If they attack your car (because they are unhinged crazy people), then that justifies more haste to get out of the situation.
I think that you need to read more than just the headlines in select articles.

Of course if you're a moral subjectivist, then the answer is: it depends on the person.
Pretty interesting to watch the one who obsesses about the shaky ground moral subjectivists stand upon actually equivocating in a case like this. Calling your morals objective doesn't make them so.
Nothing there makes morality subjective or objective either way. Also, I didn’t change my view at all her, just clarified something. And with a subjective morality one doesn’t really have any complaint other than to say that our feelings on what is immoral are different, which is all the subjectivist is appealing to; to begin with.
