I don't doubt you would, but I still bet you can't cite one law or one court case that allows a person to consciously run down a pedestrian because he has the right of way.

Sent one to the hospital. Disgusting.

If this bowel movement is not ideological in nature, why did the goons and thugs storm the convention that was hosting AFP, a conservative organization?
I got a kick out of that rioter telling the driver he had no power because they had taken over the street. I really wonder how many of those people live in DC and pay property taxes to maintain the streets. They do believe that they have the right to take over the streets because they can chant.

Have you heard any examples of them doing the repeat chant in DC. They said in the beginning that they were doing it because they had no loud speaker systems but now they are using the same method to play their games.

I guess you haven't looked at any of the links to videos I have put up today. In one of them one of the rioters yells that the man driving no longer has any control since they are shutting down the streets to certain motorists. How in hell do you think that the protesters have a right to block the streets? I guess you missed out on the NYC thing where they were told to stay on the sidewalks and were arrested for walking in the streets.

Surely you just don't understand any of this and just want to support those people taking over the streets and enforcing their kind of law while they are at it.

They do become much braver in groups and the larger the group the braver many of the younger ones become.

I'm picturing Nancy Pelosi looking out of her House office window saying 'God bless them'.

I must have missed the stories of Tea Party protestors intimidating drivers and getting run over in the streets for pounding on people's cars.

Again, I'd like to see the law or court case that allows me to run someone over if they are in the road and I have a green light.

"......Occupy DC protesters tried to force entry into the Washington Convention Center on Friday, where Americans for Prosperity is hosting their “Defending the American Dream Summit.” The protesters also formed roadblocks, surrounding the convention center and only allowing non-luxury cars to pass...."

Can you imagine if those OWS a**holes really got their hands on the power to control any parts the population they disagree with?

These are dangerous people and need to be treated as such.
