Interview of guy who got shot
A lot of "ifs" in there as we obviously don't seem to know the full story, or to be fair, I don't know the full story.

Looks like self defense to me
Seems like went through or passed a barricade, do we know for sure whether or not he was driving erratically and endangering others?

Not sure using Drew Brees in the context of your post helps your argument one bit.
He gave his honest opinion to a question he was asked and was treated the same way you are accusing others as acting. His opinion was shouted down at every turn because it was not in lock step line with the mob. They piled on until he apologized and then continued to pile on. This whole thing is not about equality. Not in the slightest.

I realize I am being facetious. However, when your very actions make you a criminal, you have no legal leg to stand on.
I really don't know what point you're trying to make. Police and city officials across the country have made the decision, in the interest of public safety, to close certain streets to allow protesters to march and protest on those streets.
But even it wasn't closed, and those people were breaking the law by congregating in it, that doesn't give the operator of the car the legal right to drive though them and injure or kill them. And to be clear, I doubt that was the driver's intention.

You know exactly the point I am making.
Police, or the mayors and city councils, in these cities are refusing to uphold law and order and protect the rights of law abiding citizens. Once "Protesters" block a roadway (without proper permits), they are no longer law abiding citizens. It is a shame that leaders have sacrificed the rights of law abiding citizens for the sake of criminals. I even provided an example where this was not allowed to happen.
Argue the merits of it all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that leaders are picking and choosing who's rights matter.

You think that guy was trying to steal his car? Would've been a pretty slow getaway with that crowd blocking the street.
I think he was carjacking him. That's doesn't mean he wanted his car. Maybe he just wanted to drag him out and kick him in the head, with other "comrades". Doesn't matter, IMHO.
Here in Louisiana it's defined as someone trying to gain illegal forcible entry into an occupied vehicle. Not sure what the laws say there, but I'd say what happened in the video met that criteria. Either way, at that moment the laws there wouldn't have stopped this driver from getting badly beaten and left on the pavement- but that Glock certainly did.

Closing a public road doesn't, assuming you have the authority to close it.
Being part of a mob that blocks a public roadway does.
I saw your edit. Police closed the roads because children insisted on blocking them. It was easier for the police than doing their actual jobs.

And let's say that you own a business in one of these cities that "protests" have been going on for days. Let's say that business is on one of the "closed" roads. Let's keep in mind that your business was forced to close by the government for the better part of 3 months due to corona. Let's say those restrictions were finally lifted and your business was finally allowed to reopen, and now the police are allowing "protesters" to block and close the road your business is on FOR DAYS while telling you, a law abiding business owner, that it is best to, "Close your business and board up your windows" for, "safety".
What bizarro world are we living in? The police should do their damn jobs and protect the rights of law abiding citizens, not kowtow to fricking criminals.

They attacked the man's car early on with something off the windshield and he stopped. Why would he stop if he intended to run people down?
Then a moron tried to drag him out of the car. He'd made no aggressive moves, no one had been hit, he was stopped. His life was in danger.
He shot said moron. He then got the hell out of there and fired no more shots, but he could have blown away a bunch of said morons.
Clear case of self defense.

That was posted before the guy edited his post. Besides, try reading the rest and using your brain.

Nope. I am 100% sure the police closed the road because criminals were playing in it, and that was a much easier option than doing their job, dispersing the "protesters" and upholding law and order for the law abiding citizens.
I can draw you a picture if that would help.

Hahahahahaha,.....,.Thank you Prom for making me laugh I needed it bad. It was amusing how fast that crowd scattered when some rounds started going down range though. Like Moses parting the Red Sea.
