(Edit: Don't act like you wouldn't do the same.)

As much as I hate to say it—after reading the article—I'm siding with DeSatan on this one.

If I ever end up getting caught in the middle of a protest, and people are surrounding my car in an attempt to damage it or injure me—I don't care if I agree with the protestors or not—I will do whatever is necessary to protect myself and my only form of reliable transportation.

It's politician speak for 'hey it's okay to run over people who are anti-ice/trump'.

Technically, yeah there's a case for self defense if your life is in danger. No one's really denying that. If you flip the script though, and let's say it was a group of proud boys protesting something, I'd bet you real world money he'd suddenly be against running over protesters. That is the issue here.

I realize that his reasons are hateful but that's not the part I agree with.
