BLM Agitator's Advice Could Turn Road Blockers into Road Kill or Lifers
By Civis Americanus
A (Caucasian, by the way) woman in a Black Lives Matter hat posted a video in which she describes a simple method for breaking a car window, cutting the driver's seat belt, and "removing" the driver "if necessary." It looks as though her idea will work in terms of (1) getting the driver beaten like Reginald Denny or (2) death or serious injury for the perpetrator along with potential felony burglary or murder charges. While nothing in this article constitutes legal advice, we will see how this individual has advised Black Lives Matter rioters (not "protesters") on how to commit acts that could turn them into roadkill or get them sent to prison for life. In addition, possession of the tool in question for forcible entry into (rather than escape from) a vehicle could be construed as possession of burglary tools, which can be charged as a felony in some jurisdictions and a misdemeanor in others.
It is a basic principle of armed self-defense that you can use deadly force only to protect yourself or others from an immediate violent threat, such as being dragged from a car and beaten, that would put the law's hypothetical person in reasonable fear for his life. You cannot use any kind of violence on somebody who is not a physical threat to you. Some states also require you to retreat from the threat (e.g., by turning your car around and going the other way) if you can do so in complete safety. Even if the state has a "stand your ground" law, you should try to avoid the confrontation. George Zimmerman's decision to stand his ground earned him a thorough beating along with devastating legal costs.
In addition, if you fire a handgun inside your car, you are likely to suffer serious hearing damage if you do not have hearing protection, which is illegal to wear in many jurisdictions. You should therefore, as depicted by Kenny Rogers in "Coward of the Country," walk (or drive) away from trouble if you can. Only if the aggressors leave you no other option do you need to proceed to the end of that song: "Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man." Then it's you or them, and whatever happens is both legally and morally on them.
