re: Video: Minneapolis protesters block an intersection, car plows through them

While that Is f'ed up and I'm glad she has no major injuries Stay out of the road and you won't get run over. I'm sure the driver will face charges for assault possibly assault with a deadly weapon or possible attempted murder charges. Was the driver right no, were the protesters right maybe. I say maybe because it is my understanding that if you have the correct permits from the city you can protest within the area spelled out in the permit. If they didn't have the permit then the protesters were wrong as well. Who was more wrong will be the ultimate question. I believe that the drive will be found to be 'more' wrong because he caused bodily harm.

IMHO if the protesters didn't have the proper permits to protest they committed the first wrong and the drivers second wrong was because of their first wrong and he should not be charged. However he will probably be charged to the max.

Question for the legal scholars. Where does the liability of the City fall in all of this. If it was not a permitted protest and the police did not clear the roads are they not at fault?
