Yeah, Faith Goldy. And there is no way you can convince me what was going on in that scene was at all peaceful. Any one with common sense would be afraid for their life with that shit. They certainty weren't letting him through. Bottom line is I know that area and there is ZERO reason the cops didn't shut down the roads around the entire downtown mall. Police were standing down 2 blocks from there all day like good little zogbots.

Ok, but we're a long way away from your original claim: "They were surrounding, attacking, and threatening him and his car."
And given that the crowd was at the bottom, his best bet, if he really was afraid for his life, was to back up. Not accelerate into the crowd. When he had to get out of there, after they starting attacking him (post plowing), he reversed up the street.
There's no reasonable way to turn around in that location. It's hard to pass through there under normal circumstances and it's a narrow one way. THEY are the ones making him afraid. Sorry, but all of those pieces of shit deserved exactly what they got. Do you REALLY think he was there to do that when there was a car blocking the way?

I'm not sure what you mean here. Do I think he drove down that street to plow into that? No, I said already, I thought he snapped. He went there to exercise his 1s Amendment rights, the police did nothing to separate the counter-protestors, and they were physically harassed on the way into the park. As soon as the event began, the authorities used the lack of police action as an excuse to shut the event down. They were then harassed on the way out of the park and to their cars. Yeah, I'd be fuming too. Then he gets confronted by a mob blocking the street, he sits there at the top of the hill thinking about it for a bit, then floors it. He snapped.
