Ran down a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Watch the video and tell us what you think.

On Nortwestfirearms.com, which is majority non-urban conservative the opinion is along the lines of “stupid snowflakes who don’t know streets are for cars...serves them right.” Or “tough call...if I was in my car with my family and came up on a mob like that I’d probably decide that I have more to lose than these fucktards and run them down”.
My response was:
I think my response was extremely mild, but then I’m severely outnumbered on NWFA.This happened in Portland, so if the driver was “afraid of mob violence” then there had better be clear evidence that he or she was attacked before he or she ran down the protestor. His or her fear of what *might* happen isn’t enough legal justification for not yielding the right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk when the walk signal is in the pedestrian’s favor. I think the driver will likely be charged, and when it goes to court there had better be evidence that the driver was actually attacked or directly and creditably threatened or that driver is legal toast.
Try saying “I decided I had more to lose than these f—-tards” and see how far that gets you with the judge & jury.
(Just me and a few others to hold back the darkness.)
