re: Protestors block street/attack car in St. Louis - 3 get ride on hood

It was a vigil for a transvestite who died... held outside of a gay nightclub.

I gather the tranny assaulted the officer. At least that's what some other tranny on Twitter said.

Going by the pictures that is one of the least threatening "mobs" I have seen.

Another way to write that sentence is, "There really isn't any decent evidence on this situation yet......"

But, you have to take off your leftist hate hat first.

you should go block some cars on the freeway in protest of team car

Obviously we haven't seen video of this yet but the two photos that have been posted look as if the two pedestrians jumped on the vehicle

It was a vigil for a transvestite who died... held outside of a gay nightclub. The streets are wide, just turn around and go around the block. Or just yell out "Hey I'm with you" and drive slowly. Going by the pictures that is one of the least threatening "mobs" I have seen.

Yeah, we need to hold a vigil in the middle of the goddamn street

Luckily no one was seriously hurt. Jury still out on specifics.

Frankly, judging by the photos, it looks like a better description of what car did was the car creeped through the protesters.

Dude on the hood is practically COMFORTABLE there and winding up to beat on the window. Girl on the hood managed to roll herself to the side of the car.

I mean, if that car had even been doing 15 mph, that's not how that goes down.

Finally, the fact there were no bad injuries indicates the car was barely moving. One last note. Car's wheels are turned.

This looks like some protester melodrama to me.

The woman has both hands firmly planted on the hood as if she is going to jump, turn and land on her butt.

To me it looks like a case of folks jumped on the car and then the car drove off.

I probably shouldn't have laughed at that, but I did.

I'll be interested to see what other info comes out.

Speaking for myself. If I were confronted with a crowd blocking me. I wouldn't stop. ESPECIALLY if I had family members in the car.

But, I'm also not trying to Death Race 2000 it either. I just want to extract myself from the situation. If I have a course other than through the crowd, I'll take it.

But, if the crowd is my only choice, I'm probably going to let off the gas and creep and honk making it abundantly clear that people can get out of the way.

At that point, it's really on the crowd as to how it goes down. Ideally, I creep through, maybe a few assholes slap my car and it's over.

IF someone jumps on my car and ends up falling off and getting hurt, sorry, I'm not sticking around. That's the part I want to see here. I don't think any rational person is going to STOP in that crowd. I mean, people have seen TV. They're not just going to hop out and say beat my arse.

So, did the person "run" as in "get themselves out of the situation" or, did they "run" as in never intend to be found.

Also. If they crept through and people jumped on then rolled off their hood, would they even consider it "hit and run"? I don't know that I would even think of it as me "hitting" someone if they jumped on MY car.

All of these are things that we are left to guess at and worse, all of the eyewitnesses suck in terms of credibility.

So. Absent actual video, we won't know.

I just don't think it's reasonable to ask drivers to sit there and wait to become the next dude drug out of a car and beaten.

Run them the frick over. Sane people do not block traffic like that.

Let's see dat spin mmcgrath and TxTiger
