JDeko 792 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 As it should be. Hopefully a sign of things to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Based on the video, the driver will probably be charged with something. He didn't appear to be in immediate danger and showed he wasn't afraid, by having his window down. If people surrounded my vehicle and refused to let me leave, I would plow through the crowd, to escape! That wasn't the case here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Easy to judge after the fact. But here goes. Maybe we all can learn from this? How did he enter the situation to begin with? Didn't he see it coming before he got into it? Were there any warning signs? Where was his forward situational awareness? Boot legger reverse turns are well practiced. I had fun doing so in the high range reverse gear, (10 speed Roadranger) in my old 10 wheeler Crown Supercoach ex school bus RV. 25 mph U turns. Why didn't the pickup guy just back up and boggie away? Did he want to provoke the situation? The best confrontation is the one that never occurs. The best situation like in the video is the one best avoided. Avoid a non winnable situation. It will be curious finding out later what happens to the pickup truck driver. Also it looks like the thugs at the demonstration will all hired out. But by whom? And for what purpose? They all looked too well dressed and turned out. All young adults. No kids. No old folks. Clean clothes? Yep ... WHY the open window? A set piece? Was the whole thing stagged? Convenient camera angle. Except for all the unknowns everything is fine. Perhaps just follow the money if possible? Curious where that leads too. So much of this shiet going on right now. Past my bed time. We are bolting down for that huge Pacific Northwest SW Oregon rain storm. We all now must understand Columbus was an arse hole. But ... the banks were closed sosss it had to be good. :) Edited October 14, 2016 by HB of CJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sccritterkiller 473 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 What ever happen to arresting protestors that impede traffice. IMO once you start blocking traffic and disturbing commerce the protest is no longer peaceful...It seems like lately, especially here in Charlotte, protestors have more rights than law abiding citizens.....smh 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

netpackrat 566 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Driver of the truck had probably heard of Reginald Denny. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 And the driver was aware that his life and/or health was genuinely in danger! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 IMHO, he had a right to not to be detained. They put themselves in harm's way, first. My mom always told me, "Don't stand in the street!" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My mom always told me, "Don't stand in the street!" That would reflect personal accountability which is a foreign concept these days. How parents should teach personal accountability, "If you stand in the street, someone might run your stupid ass over...." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) They needed to "make a statement!" Now they've clearly stated they're assholes. Edited October 18, 2016 by Ronin38 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I keep getting this image of Fred Thompson's character in Hunt for Red October proclaiming this stupidity is going to get us all killed. I would have done the same thing, nothing else for it unfortunately. It is why I keep driving that gas hog truck of mine, stop this bitch... I think the idiots got off easy.
