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.
Yep she should have honked and not run over people and the crowd should have a cleared a path. I would say 3/4s surrounded, though without anyone touching her vehicle idk how she can claim she feared for her life
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.
Yes there were people standing around the car in the parking lot. Do you not see the car door open with someone entering the vehicle? If you casually walk around a car, open the door without being disturbed, saying you were fearful for your life is going to be a hard sell in any court.

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

Looks surrounded from this end.

There was a car behind them though. I have to say, they should have given her more room.
Do you have access to more video? It doesn't seem that clear to me whether they were blocking/harassing her or walking through.
