Another SUV Drives Through A BLM Road Blockadehttps://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/07/08/another-suv-drives-blm-road-blockade/You should probably get used to seeing headlines like this. With the expansion of the tactic of mobs of protesters and rioters blocking streets and highways, leading to attacks on vehicles and their occupants, more and more motorists seem to be deciding to risk being taken in by the police rather than being beaten or otherwise assaulted. That means that some of them, when pinned in by an angry mob, are choosing to hit the gas and let fortune sort out the rest. That’s what happened in New York City last night. A group had moved to block off 6th Street near 42nd Avenue, trapping a black SUV in their midst. A confrontation ensued and the driver wound up taking off, running over some bicycles that were in the middle of the street and knocking some of the members of the mob out of the way. And, of course, everyone taking part in the demonstration is blaming the driver, but videos of the action tell a different story. (NY Post)

We’ve already seen far too many instances of vehicles being vandalized, windows being broken and people being dragged out of their cars and assaulted. If someone is caught up in a situation like this, there is no sane justification to say that they should have just sat there and allowed the mob to do as they wished, possibly at the expense of the driver’s property, safety, or even life. ...
As the old saying goes, better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. BLMers and Antifoids are forcing this choice on random ordinary citizens, and the Seattle female may have been the first to die, but unless the thugs have a sudden outbreak of self-preservation-motivated partial sanity, she won't be the last. BTW, the driver in this case may not have been arrested.
