There is another video from a different perspective that starts several seconds earlier.
The car door is open and nobody seems to be touching the vehicle. The car is mostly surrounded but could probably have backed up safely.
Then the car suddenly takes off very quickly and plows into a large number of people.
No slow wind up. No horn honk.
The car stops for a second after hitting a bunch of people, then takes off again, just as quickly even though are now a bunch of people stacked in front of the car, who cannot move. Then more people get hit and dragged in front of the car or run over.
I watched with my own eyes three drivers involved each of them coached by a leader two of them chickened out so the third one jumped in the car and plowed down innocent bystanders. This was a planned attack.
i.e. "My company set up their crawfish boil at the east end of the parking lot. Big crowd of people, and I hate crawfish. But I really prefer using that east exit, so eff 'em, I'm running them over."
Look at :05 There are people behind the car... they don't appear to be blocking bu rather walking around... and there is another car behind the perp car. She wasn't clear to back out.
Having said that, I can't tell if people were willing to give the driver a path out as they should. Don't trap people.
I mistakenly assumed she was in a parking spot. You are correct, they should have given her berth in front of the car, we don't know if they would have done that had she not ran them over.
Link is above to slowed-down copy of video. The original driver of the car got out, and walked calmly away into the crowd without incident. The driver who drove into the crowd then entered the vehicle, closed the door, and almost immediately accelerated into people.
Looks like we're going to need clarifications on this law. These people weren't touching her car. They weren't acting like angry antifa lunatics or banging on her doors. They were standing there in a parking lot.
Right you are. It's starting to look like the car was purposely there to be used as a weapon. This is clearly not a case similar to other recent car vs people incidents where a driver is in the wrong place at the wrong time, people beat on car and try to pull out driver, and driver floors it to escape.
In this case the driver is outside the car and not being threatened, gets in car without asking for clearance to leave and drives through crowd. It looks intentionally designed to harm people.
To be fair, if I had people surrounding my car I'm not thinking about backing up. This driver may have been in a panic (I would be) and didn't realize she could have backed up. Point is, you should never surround someone's vehicle like that (touching the car or not) to prevent them from leaving. Allowing someone the option to leave via only backing up their car when they were already moving forward is not ok. I don't care which side you are on, don't surround someone's vehicle not allowing them to move forward. Wrong is wrong. I'm sure this post will upset people, but we can't bitch about the left doing something like this but think it's justified because the right is doing it. Just my two cents.
This did not occur. She was parked and not moving at all. Noone touched her vehicle. She does not have the right to run people over who are not actively attacking her. That's the law.
Making up a lot without any evidence. All we know from video is driver calmly got in the vehicle, unmolested by anyone, and deliberately drove into people.
The video isn't enough for what? It clearly shows she was able to back out of the parking space and that noone was touching her vehicle before she decided to accelerate into protesters.
Dude the trapped argument is utter bullshit. One she could reverse, and two it was a parking lot.
By the logic of "if people are in front of you, you can plow through them in a parking lot" is utter horseshit.
In Texas people do charity barbecues, they have county fairs, all sorts of events occurring in parking lots. You can't drive into a parking lot, into a crowd of people, and decide instead of reversing you're just going to mow people down. That's insane.
If this was a street or highway, totally different situation because traffic is expected routinely but when a business allows protestors in their parking lot and crowds form you absolutely can not just decide you're going through them.
Even if it’s a freaking parking lot, A VEHICLE IS STILL ALLOWED TO DRIVE THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO BLOCK SOMEONE ELSES MOVEMENT...even in a parking lot
That is completely illogical. Concerts and tons of events are hosted in parking lots. According to your logic you can literally drive into a crowd of people at a concert and when they dont move out of the way because they are telling you to reverse out you can just mow down people.
Was the driver trapped? It's a valid question.
Watch the video. She was clear to back out and noone was touching her car.
I did watch the video. Does backing out lead to an exit? Or was the vehicle trapped?

Thank you!
There are multiple videos. She had a clear path to reverse her vehicle and noone was touching it, she chose to drive forward instead.
This is what BLM rioters say.
The driver could back up.
Not taking sides. Just sharing fact.
That's true for most of the biden riots
So Antifa and BLM commentators are correct. People just need to back up if they can.
who fucking cares
im opposed to anyone blocking traffic regardless.
i.e. "My company set up their crawfish boil at the east end of the parking lot. Big crowd of people, and I hate crawfish. But I really prefer using that east exit, so eff 'em, I'm running them over."
That's damn near what this is.
If you decide the cross the road during a green light, that's on you.
This was a parking lot
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Nobody was blocking her car. She had a clear path to reverse.

This was a planned, premeditated assualt.
Yeah, that makes it look very premeditated.
I keep seeing this mentioned, but in the videos I watch I never see this.
Yeah you're right.
Looks like we're going to need clarifications on this law. These people weren't touching her car. They weren't acting like angry antifa lunatics or banging on her doors. They were standing there in a parking lot.
She hopped in her car and immediately gunned it.

Would like to know what led up to this.

Looks pretty surrounded though and I cannot tell if people were hitting her. She definitely should have honked.

Looks surrounded from this end.

Do you have access to more video? It doesn't seem that clear to me whether they were blocking/harassing her or walking through.
The video isn't enough for what? It clearly shows she was able to back out of the parking space and that noone was touching her vehicle before she decided to accelerate into protesters.
I'm looking at this video and I see another car and people behind her. Can you take a screen grab and show me where you see she is clear?

Guy in the video clearly said good luck getting out of here.

That's just straight up murder.
