What do I lose by not plowing into a crowd?

Is that really how you see it?

Help me understand why they would block every route?

That's absurd, but if you feel you must plow into them in order to show you are not "surrendering" then what can I say?

Possibly, but you must keep in mind the instigators, and their motives, for all this. A dead seditionist isn't such a bad thing, IMHO, and far more desirable than a dead nation, robbed of its, and it's people's freedom by those self-same seditionists.

Hahaha. That video doesn’t show squat. There’s another one from the other side of the street that actually clearly shows the car pull up to the intersection and make a right turn then abruptly stop, then get surrounded. I doubt you’d post that one though, because it blows your dramatic leaning right out of the water.

"of the second person who fired on the driver’s car as he pulled away."

Hmmm? did he account for every round down range, as he shot at someone no longer a threat.

Police eyes were on this.... If protestors are openly armed, the Police will have constant eyes on.
That is why no one went to jail... and then sort it out. He was released, with his firearm and vehicle.

Was the shooter, LE of some sort?

That's how HISTORY sees it. You need a less-myopic, MUCH less-myopic viewpoint. This isn't a one-off matter, but a concerted, ongoing action by determined seditionists to steal our nation, our freedom and our futures from us. Learn history, it is a great teacher.

To steal your freedom of movement, bit by bit, street by street

Understand that you and I and all of America have been dragged into a war by the Seditionists. Fight back or lose. The authorities have, in large measure, capitulated. They have thrown Law & Order into the gutter, and it is up to us to pick it up, breath life back into it, and to survive. If freedom in the U.S. dies, it dies planet-wide.

I get all of that. I do. This whole movement that is happening right now is all based on nonsensical ideals and notions. History has shown this repeatedly. Capitalism may not be perfect, but all boats tend to rise under it. This Marxist BS and crap identity Politics isn't what this country is about, not by a long shot.

They are incompatible with freedom.

Never threaten, harm, or take another person's Life, Liberty, & Property, or it may be you losing it all.
Other people's Freedom & Liberty is some scary chit, no other place on earth has. It is what makes America unique.

Government has us compartmentalized in groups, so you battle people that never did you wrong, instead of battling the actual PERSON that did you wrong.
