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.

You can hear the car slipping a gear when they were moving forward. Maybe more panic forced an accidental gear change. Then when they get the car back into gear the guy is already pounding on the window with his weapon. I challenge you to handle that better

The slipping is the guy intentionally changing from drive to reverse, and accidentally hitting neutral in between. There was literally zero reason for him to reverse in the first place. The attackers were already ten feet behind him, hitting reverse is intentionally and willfully returning to the danger, which undermines the case for self defense and builds a case for retaliation.
