Obviously we have repeatedly said if your car gets stopped by an angry mob hit the gas. Don't want to seem like a hypocrite. But there are some notable differences between this and the other scenarios:

  1. As far as I can tell NO-ONE even touched the car until after they started plowing.
  2. This appears to be a parking-lot, not the middle of the road.
  3. I don't know what lead up to this, but the car was already stopped and you can see the person get into there car and almost immediately hit the gas. Didn't honk or nudge forward or anything. Just went from zero to plowing without warning.

Looks like Trump supporters were beating on it beforehand. I hope I'm wrong, but, if they were, we can't really complain.

Not true. Send a link and timestamp that backs up your claim because I saw nothing.

Your video does not show the beginning.

At what timestamp in the video I linked do the protesters touch her vehicle before she accelerates into them?

This video doesn't show the beginning, shows less than OP's, and is rotated. This doesn't backup your claims.

Watch the end of the twitter video on that site. It shows a different angle. You can see lots people around but I don't see anyone touching the car, and you can see the person get in, shut the door and step on the gas.

Nope. Do not make statements without evidence.

I didn't. I said, very specifically 'it looks like' and that I may very well could be wrong and then posted the video I was basing it off of. It was not a statement, it was a conjecture based off what I'd seen so far.

Had I said: "The Trump supporters definitely beat on her car first and deserved it after provoking."; that would have been a statement.

Nobody was stopping the car though. They could have inched forward and used the horn. People may have gotten out of the way and let the moron through. But instead they got in and gunned it imediately.

As far as I can tell NO-ONE even touched the car until after they started plowing.

Correct. The driver was also not the original person driving that car but instead someone who was attacking people before getting in and gunning it.

This appears to be a parking-lot, not the middle of the road.

Correct. Pedestrians have the right of way in a parking lot and you need to make an attempt to allow them to move. You can't just gun it.

I don't know what lead up to this, but the car was already stopped and you can see the person get into there car and almost immediately hit the gas. Didn't honk or nudge forward or anything. Just went from zero to plowing without warning.

It was stopped because it was parked there. They were also getting out and talking to people peacefully before the other driver jumps in and guns it.
