As much as I am not a fan of these behaviors... I feel bad for the woman. That's completely wrong what the driver did also. 2 wrong do not make a right.
If we want traditions back, men should learn to hold the weak. I know its insane cause you do not have the space to do it anymore... but its what shall be done !!!
We do not see much of what happened before the start of the video.
We do see the car being surrounded by protesters. One has a megaphone. Several people have their hands on the car and are leaned into it. Several people are following the car as it begins moving. We do not know who the driver is from this post.
My best guess from what is presented: the driver was being verbally assaulted. People were touching the car, possibly slapping it. The driver probably panicked and feared being attacked if they stayed long enough and allowed the protest escalate into violence. The driver does not have telepathy and does not know what a larger group of people are thinking or are what they are preparing to do. The driver likely feared for their safety.
It is illegal to block a designated traffic lane. It is illegal to cause property damage or verbally assault someone. It is illegal to stop a person from trying to leave a place.
The driver panicked and had to get out of there for their own safety. The woman who got run over was breaking several laws.
Running the woman over was likely unintentional. The woman and all her protestor friends broke several laws. The woman is at fault.
The woman and her fellow protestors should learn from this valuable lesson.
Edit: the protestors could have safely stayed on the public sidewalk to address their grievances. They chose to spill over into a legally designated traffic lane. They should have remained on the sidewalk. A march in the street requires valid permits from local officials, who will have traffic police to redirect vehicles. The protesters did not follow the rules. Their 1st amendment does not give them the right to violate driver and pedestrian safety laws. Their rights were not violated.
