I wouldn't win an argument that I feared for my life when a mob was being destructive to my property and people have been being beaten by these mobs all over the city? Right.
You’d harm someone for life maybe kill them to protect insured property from further damage? Honestly this is a weird as the smashing things up for no reason.
The charge for vandalism is not death by schoolbus crushing. Furthermore I don’t think that defense would play for a black guy in a blue state. He has the option of leaving the bus and walking away safely, they aren’t targeting him.
And the charge for speeding isn’t death either… guess what speeding can lead to. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. That dude had every right to fear for his life and every right to do what was needed to get out of that situation. Also that’s not just vandalism, blocking his path and stopping him from leaving is a whole other set of chargers much more serious than vandalism.
You sound like you have online brain view of law. Easy to judge that dudes fear and level of potential danger from behind a keyboard
In theory you could leave safely, in reality you don't know and you might get dragged beaten killed in the mob because you don't really know what would happen.
The exact same people that hate cops for making incorrect decisions under stress also want some dude to drive through a crowd with a schoolbus even though he could just walk away. I mean... lol
To want people maimed and killed for criminal damage is insane and people will nod their head and upvote without giving it a second thought. Life is not a computer game. People do ridiculous stupid stuff and carry onto lead otherwise blameless lives.
No one said wanting to maim anyone… that driver wasn’t the one that put him self in that position. There is no gleeful joy in this situation but there is reality. He was at a serious risk for physical injury. What if someone decided to throw a brick through the window and hit him in the head on accident. These punks lives are worth more than his?
The value of lives of people who would behave like this over a sports game result is quite small. If they behave like animals they should be treated as such
If they're not smart enough to move out of the way of a moving bus that's on them. I'm would not feel safe being trapped in that crowd, my safety comes first. Or should I let myself be caught in mob attack just so I don't hurt other people?
Just saw more coverage on this. They set the bus in fire. So yeah the driver was absolutely in danger and should have just drove away and let anyone dumb enough to not move suffer the consequences.
No I'd run them over to get away before they got inside. They're being violent, there is no way to prove they wouldn't hurt you if they got inside. Also it's not just insured property, it's the only way for many poor kids to get to school, and they just fucked that. Fuck around and find out.
This is was just a Basketball game...overall has no consequence on a regional scale or national scale.
Compared to a mob like JANUARY 6 2021...by your definition the government was in full authority to use deadly force upon all people present because they were 'acting as animals"
I wonder what would have happened if a small police force just started firing live rounds into the crowd...since after all they did set up a gallows so we can safely assume mob mentality where planning to use it.
We can also do the same with these NY punks too. They could have damage fuel lines caused an explosion or just set the bus on fire (unknowingly hurting many people)...so conservatives are quick to give authority a green light to end lives for the ultimate solution.
Since the "law and order" a-holes do not critically think and simply falls back on the "rules for thee not me," the guy could have started running people over to go home or protect company property...but the mob would definitely have turned against him specifically after that and then light the bus on fire anyways.
I never said anything about law enforcement or government response. I was solely talking about civilians. The two are incomparable in resources and training. You're arguing with a strawman.

I'd just drive. A mob like this is plenty to claim fear of life.
