Legally? Unless you're coming around the bend and it was impossible to see them and slow down, you'll be going to prison under some theory of murder, attempted murder, manslaughter. You'll also be sued civilly and will probably lose most of what you have.

Instead of being charged with murder why don't we call it suicide by the protestors


Because that would be too logical for these trying times.
In any other scenario, if some loon runs out in the middle of I-10, he is clearly suicidal.

The cops are protecting them.

The truth is they are not racist. . But billy joe with his 14 inch lift kit and gun rack will surely not stop..

How about the guy standing on your hood ask them about Altons criminal record??? Or ask ANY mothers out there if they would want a sexual predator near their child. Ask them what they think about a guy that has been arrested 20 times since he was 17. And then ask if he should have had a gun while being a convicted felon.....

Creep up, blow the horn a few times, try to get one of them to hit your car, then you have the green light. Take out as many as possible though

I think if you've accessed the situation and determined that people aren't standing in the street because of some problems such as a wreck ahead, bridge out, etc. and they are there simply to try to impede traffic, I think it should be OK to drive through them ,maybe toot your horn, go at a runner's pace, and proceed along.

Think about this. What happens if fans line up outside a stadium street and block the visiting team bus from getting to the stadium?

what if you roll thru the protesters at about 5 mph. They get pissed and bust your window out and start punching you? Can you shoot them?

If you go like 10 miles an hour, its likely not deadly and they cant stop your vehicle.

I mean I honestly would slow down, but the first time someone touches my car or tries to open a door, I'm driving through and hitting as many as possible. Reasonable fear for your life

I suspect it's illegal to intentionally murder people because they are racist, "might" be hostile, and will delay your commute.

The threat has to be eminent. Like if they converge on your car then go ahead and plow through them. If you see them holding hands then you can't just plow through. Stop and wait, go around, or turn around.

So I have to let them sent my truck before I can run them over? Doesn't seem fair.

Ehh. You'll be charged with voluntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter.

Under voluntary manslaughter - the State would say that you were acting under an imperfect self-defense theory and that you unreasonably believed deadly force was necessary.

Under an involuntary manslaughter theory - the State would say some of your killings (as you mentioned that you're trying to hit as many as possible) would constitute a killing committed with gross negligence.

You better hope 1.) the State doesn't load up with a "favorable jury" and 2.) the jury whole-heartedly agrees with your deadly force theory of self-defense. I'd say you'd be fricked.

Agreed. Just because people are idiots blocking a roadway doesn't give you the right to commit vehicular homicide.

You know why we ask ourselves this question a lot on this board?

Because nobody's been man enough to actually do it.

fricking pussies. You millennials make me sick.
