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

The fuck you mean right now they're testing, they've been killing people in the street on video and have gotten away with it.

Attempted murder justifies self-defense.

Bring a wooden plank with nails in it.

You can just buy spike strips to break their tires, put that in front of the line you leave for the cars to pass. A brick can also be used to stop a car.

In GTA VI of course

Gotta start tracking them home and protesting their homes.

I'm wishywashy on this. I certainly oppose all that ICE is doing. But if you are going to protest in the streets, either block the whole thing or don't. A human corridor for cars to drive through is never a good idea. And when it is really an angry mob, I can't blame anyone for speeding their way through and possibly hitting someone like this. I blame them for working for ICE, and that is more than enough really to damn anyone to whatever hell you believe in. But this, this just isn't a thing. If anything, the local police should be keeping the protester off the road so that they are at least safe. This half way human corridor stuff is just unproductive BS.

[–] CriticalThought@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.
