At some point, sure, run the person threatening your safety over. Running over a protester isn't entirely comparable.

- tomcam 2y ago> Running over a protester isn't entirely comparable. What if they’re blocking emergency vehicles? Seems to me it’s very possible that they could be a few dozen cars back in heavy traffic. In the USA we don’t have good laws for this.

- quantified 2y agoI haven't had to deal with this yet, but wouldn't moving slowly just push someone out of the way? If they are lying down I suppose that'll be a problem, but at least they can't spray-paint you.
- teqsun 2y agoI disagree. Blocking vehicles as a pedestrian is a nuisance regardless of motivation and ideology, but no one deserves to be run over unless they are presenting a threat that legally and morally justifies lethal force.

- maxerickson 2y agoAt some point ... threatening your safety I guess that isn't overly specific, but what the hell else do you think I meant?
- quantified 2y agoCue the trolley problem, like I'm trying to get my wife to the hospital. The South African cars outfitted with flamethrowers come to mind.
