The poster who said "sped through the crowd" seems to be sympathetic to the motorist. The poster who posted the video that you seem to think exonerates him (the flagged and downvoted post) is strongly unsympathetic to the motorist and may sympathise with the protestors. I don't have much sympathy for either...my opinion is still that this was violent behaviour from both the motorist and the protestors. Violence that would normally be bad, but is possibly excusable if, for example, you were in fear of your life. It's not really clear from the video who initiates the violence.


The flagged post that was attempting to justify violent and illegal behavior of shooting a motorist?

Where do I suggest "exonerates"? I plainly state he was trying to intimidate the people illegally blocking the road. Which he was. By revving his engine and edging forward.

That isn't even a shadow of an excuse for shooting and I'm actually horrified both you and OP would suggest that. My only question is why you would do so.
