Depends on the state. In some states, pedestrians always have the right of way. Some states ban pedestrians from the interstate.

'memba when that biker gang infiltrated by 2 or 3 different law enforcement agencies pulled a dad through the window after chasing the car down. I 'memba.
Once people beat on windows the occupants shoulda be allowed reasonable escape. Sometimes that choosing to run over 1 person rather than a whole group.

Does drag you out of your car = beating on your car while you are in the car, driver or passenger, from the perspective of self-defense?

If I'm on the jury and you were in fear for your life I'm voting to acquit. I think a lot of jury members would after seeing Reginald Denny and others...

protesters
They are not protesters. They are rioters. They have a right to protest. They do not have a right to block the flow of traffic on any public roadway. They can block a public roadway if they have applied for the proper permits. I doubt any of them know how to apply for the proper permits. Therefore, when they enter the roadway, they are no longer protesters, they are criminals.
However, the only time you will be in the right if you "inadvertently" run them over is if the police have not gotten to the scene to, "Close the highway".
That said, you can not stop. You must keep moving.

If protestors have the road blocked off and you drive through them, striking or injuring one, it’s assault and/or attempted murder(if your state has that charge).

An emotional, yet bullshite take.

Already been released and will not be charged.
From a law standpoint....as soon as they start banging on the car, start throwing things etc you have a right to remove yourself from the situation in most states.

How about these retards stay out of the interstate meant for high speed. Actually maybe if certain people weren't career criminals and welfare trash... we wouldn't have these problems.

You have 2 choices:
First choice is to stop the truck and hope the mob doesn't kill you when they rip you out and start beating the life out of you.
Second choice is to assume they are going to kill you and not stop the truck for any reason, including running over others.
Anyone that is human will choose option 2. For anyone that says otherwise, imagine you had kids riding with you...would you change your answer then?

100%. And, when they attack your car you can flatten their fricking asses. Give it a little Tony Stuart and step on the throttle to make sure the job's done.

Not only that, in the state of Alabama, the Castle Law extends to your vehicle. If you feel threatened in your vehicle, you have the right to defend yourself and others with you with the use of lethal force.
And before someone says, "Case law blah...blah...", yes, that is the law. When they are blocking roads and throwing shite, you are no longer dealing with protesters. You are dealing with violent rioters who are unpredictable and outnumber you greatly. If they act violently toward you, while you are in your vehicle, run them over or blow them away, whatever it takes to disengage from the situation and get you and your family/passengers to safety.

Here's a common sense answer: don't put yourself in that position
Please send me link to google maps version that shows real time where riots are taking place.
If you are driving down interstate and protesters block said interstate, what are your options?

If you run over somebody because you have a legit fear for your life, it will be justified. Pedestrians having the right of way, and all that crap doesn't really apply. If you think they are trying to harm you, your car can be your weapon of choice.
Now, there was a video the other day showing a guy in his car and he reversed, turned around and went after people with his car. Once he clear enough of the chaos, and decided to turn around and show those mother frickers, he's not really acting in self defense anymore.

I do not understand why they are allowing protestors to block roads.

Doesn't apply at all on the interstate. Pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are illegal on all interstates.

I am sure if told by the police to stop they will clear the roads
They are not just allowing them.

Being outnumbered 20-1 has alot to do with it.

what about shooting them in the face when they beat on your windows? And quick followup, what if they break the window? It's game time then right?
