Great analogy.


It's an analogy because it's an analogy.

I wasn't trying to lay out a case for it being the exact same. But you're convinced running over that lady was the best possible choice, so why am I even responding to you?

Its not even in the same stratosphere. At all. And you're a fricking moron for using it.

When 20 idiots surround your car, some on your hood banging on your window only hours after seeing all the trash in Furgeson the smartest option to keep you safe is to gtfo of there by any means necessary.

I'm convince that the dude with 20 people on his car did the best possible thing to keep himself safe. How is he to know what the frick these 20 people laying on the hood of his car screaming shite at him is planning to do. I would have been scared shitless and I would have laid my foot heavily on my accelerator until i got a few miles away and happily called the police.

Put yourself in that situation with say your infant child. Wtf are you going to do open your car door and say hey guys please don't hurt me and my child or my property?

And how many on the side? On the hood?

He stops. You think those morons will just leave him alone? I doubt it and that's why it's smart to get out of there.

I'm talking about the initial surge the car made that hit the woman (front left). Not the mob scene after; anyone who's sane would've hauled arse after being surrounded with people beating the shite out of the car.

You could've just saved yourself the effort and typed "hyperbole" instead. Also, you act like all African-Americans are the counter to all Klansmen. You're dumb.


I'm dumb? Did you not watch the video at the beginning of the thread. The fact that you try to compare your experiences stopping for pedestrians to having a mob surround a motor vehicle is just sad. You clearly have no understanding of context. As I'm typing this I'm watching what was called a peaceful protest 20 minutes ago turn into a riot in Ferguson as they burn cop cars. After what happened last night in Ferguson I want you to ask yourself what you would do if you were that driver in Minneapolis.

He has people on his windshield. Do you really think he could even see the dumbass woman on his left bumper?

Fend for yourself; no need to repeat an argument that tyler made concerning what my experiences were.

Re-read what you typed earlier; you compared black folks to Klansmen. Don't move the goalposts.

I counted 3 people; 2 sitting on the hood and the lady on the left who was probably sitting against it as well. Seems like a good time to hit the gas!

There were a ton of more people around his car before the video started, so I am sure that played into the driver's panicked mindset.

LINK

The video (in the OP) picks up once he gets through the initial mob with people still on his hood. He also didn't gun it when he hit the lady. He was going the same speed the he was basically going through the mob at. The dumbass woman just got caught under.

Yeah. It was a perfectly fine time to gtfo of there.

I did not compare African Americans to Klansmen. And if you watch that video (which I'm beginning to think you did not) they're are white people in that mob. So your attempt at race baiting failed. I'm simply trying to convey that it was an unruly mob and if the driver feared for his safety he is well within his right to get to safety by any means necessary.

The link you provided seems worse. They didn't seem to slow down at all; granted, they weren't flying, but where's the harm in just stopping & waiting. When the person got into the right lane, they clearly didn't stop until the woman had been hit.

Race-baiting?

You're a gimmick, right?

You said the person in the video would be vilified, but that an Afr.-American would be lauded for running over Klansmen.

Yeah. Nothing ever bad happens when a driver does that.

LINK about 6:15 in and it doesn't go further into the aftermath. He did the thing that most insured his own safety and I have no problem with that.
