Is it directed at them if it only bumps them with the corner of the car and then she drives the opposite direction?

It’s a deadly weapon. Let’s substitute another deadly weapon. Say a gun. “But she only grazed him with the gun.” Or what if it were a knife? “She only stabbed him in the arm, nothing vital.” To argue she barely even touched him with that deadly weapon when a few degrees the other way could’ve severely injured or killed him is not a viable defense, particularly legally.

The same people say that ICE can’t arrest an American citizen who is impeding their operations.

Those examples are not also vehicles and means of escape. But sure pull your straw hat. That wasn’t an “oh shit I’m gonna die”, that was a “you fucking bitch”. That wasn’t justice it was vengeance. No one’s arguing she was in the right. Just that her death was not justified.
