The more of this type of behavior is allowed the worse the regime will act. Right now they’re testing what they can get away with

While I agree with you in theory that protestors should either block the road entirely or stay out of the street, it appears to me that the driver veered hard to the left in order to strike the pedestrian. This incident should certainly be investigated and any crimes charged.

I dunno, the driver easily could have veered hard left because they thought someone was moving in on the right. I mean if someone recorded them saying it was jntentional or something, sure. But it is really hard to prove intent in this situation. I just can't stand this half ass trying to push the line crap. Either get enough people and fing riot, or stick to a peaceful out of the way protest. Halfway just leads to some people getting hurt, or arrested while it doesn't have any more effectiveness than peaceful out of the way protest.

Stop making excuses for violent fascists.

I want to hold them accountable for the bigger crimes, not try to pin difficult to prove minor crimes on them. Not sure how that is making excuses. It called being objective, and realistic.
