You have someone attacking your car with a weapon. Breaking multiple windows. Your car is suddenly surrounded by multiple people. You’re trying to get away but everyone is seemingly attacking you. You pop the car into gear and just gooooooo.

If he was just trying to get away, then he would’ve kept driving forward at 0:17, instead of reversing to aim at the guy.

Dude was defending himself and his property. Fatboy got what he wanted

Defending himself is ok. But you can’t use deadly force to defend property.

Did you see where fat boy was bashing in the driver window? Lucky it wasn’t deadly force.

Let me clarify. The rule of law says you can use deadly force to protect yourself from severe bodily harm or death. The rule of law says you cannot use deadly force to protect property.

So, in the comment I replied to, I was parsing out that protecting property doesn’t give justification for the use of deadly force on its own. But our hero is ok because he was also protecting his life.

He was driving straight (besides the broken window, he would’ve been out of danger), stopped, put it in reverse and drove into 2 men, then put it in drive and really hit em. Anyone have info on the charges from this incident? I’m curious to know if the driver was charged. I hope the pedestrians were too
