[QUOTE=Snowmew;46577041]Ferguson itself is largely under control (besides protesters throwing shit at the cops and nearly flipping a cop car over earlier tonight) but there are some large protests popping up nationwide, notably NYC and Oakland. Last night was the big shitstorm, tear gas deployed all over town, rubber bullets, and about 21 fires started, not to mention the looting and destruction. [url]http://abc7news.com/live/[/url] Live feed of Oakland, currently doesn't look like there are any cops doing anything about it, but there are several cars w/ lights parked a block away. These guys have been walking around for a while now unimpeded.[/QUOTE] That's just a typical day in Oakland, though

You don't have the right to stop people getting where they need to go just because you're angry.

Call the police? They're a bit tied up at the moment. And the person driving the car didn't maliciously run them over, he started driving through slow enough that people had the time to get out of the way and anyone coming into contact with his car is nudged slightly, then people dogpiled on the bonnet of his car blocking his view then he panics and drives forward too fast, realises he's knocked someone over and stops, but then people from all sides start banging on his car and trying to smash his windows so he gets the fuck out of dodge. It's like saying I pushed you over because I politely tried to squeeze past you while you occupied a doorway, but since you stubbornly refused to even let up and make some space for me, you ended up getting knocked over when I'm just innocently trying to get past giving you ample time to clear way.

this thread is officially more disgusting than it already was

[QUOTE=Riutet;46576976][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hosMejZZfo4[/media][/QUOTE] Why did he drive so slow? He should have plowed through them full throttle.
Trying to use a car to "nudge" people are out of the way is a bad idea, both the driver and the protestors are idiots. You see those people turning off to the side? back up and go over.

[QUOTE=Riutet;46576976][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hosMejZZfo4[/media][/QUOTE] That is an interesting strategy. Take to the roads and drive through them like they aren't there. Would send a message quick. NOTE: I'm not saying commit acts of vehicular homicide. I'm not saying to do it, either. I simply said interesting strategy.
An aerial view. Dude could have easily just gone around the crowd, like every other driver. [video=youtube;HA2Emgz6DVY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA2Emgz6DVY[/video]
Yeah, clearly he was just trying to start something judging from that view

You guys don't know the situation, what if the driver was transporting someone to the hospital? What if he was running late to work and his job was in jeopardy because of them? What if he had to pick up his kids from school? We shouldn't jump to conclusions and automatically blame him for doing what he did. We don't know what he was thinking and he was clearly driving through them slowly to minimize any injuries.
this is surreal [editline]25th November 2014[/editline] idk maybe roll down your window and speak??
there's nothing alright with using an automobile to push through people by force what the fuck is wrong with all of you
everyone involved in that situation just flat out sucked one way or another, but it was all avoidable, again from both sides, and it's really hard to pick sides when nobody's been arrested. man this all hits home hard cause i live near minneapolis. didn't expect the riots to come to it, considering it's such an insignificant part of the country compared to say nyc or california.

I guess I'm justified to plow through a bunch of people then because they weren't suppose to be there. This is disgusting, I'm out.
it's not a riot you spastics it's an organized protest, they are expected to block traffic and creating a disruption is exactly the point of a protest how fucking dense are you people
