Idk what incident you’re talking about but I made this post after watching a video of a man speed his suv through a crowd and critically injure a young woman. I’m sure there have been many different incidents involved cars and protesters lately.

Again, being annoyed that people are in your way is not a valid excuse to literally run them over. Why do I have to explain this?

Being late to work is also never an excuse to kill people lmao what??

Anonymous OP 13w

When the rioters start hitting the cars, speeding up to get out of the crowd is valid. If someone starts hitting my car or preventing me from getting somewhere, if I have to hit them that’s self defense

maybe don’t keep driving when you see a crowd of people in front of you if you don’t want to be a murderer

Wait how about they just don’t riot in the road that’s meant for CARS. Ever thought of that?

from the comments it sounds like there’s more than one video of different incidents because yall are describing things completely differently from each other

“Being a pest” is like the whole point. To make a stand sometimes means disrupting and making people uncomfortable so you get your message across.

Those would be accidents though?? Not purposely plowing through a group of protestors

well maybe these people they are protesting for should come to the country legally then. My favorite part is some of the people holding up flags of Mexico and burning the American flag! Yess burning the flag of the country you want to stay in but holding the flag up that you won’t go back to

Well it’s not fair when it comes out of taxpayers dollars. If yall want them here so bad how about you house them and pay for them

You do realize that just because someone is in the road does not give you permission to hit them right? Pedestrians legally always have the right away like that’s still illegal to purposely run into them. An accident is one thing, but these are not accidents. Not to mention the specific incident I saw was also a hit and run and they still haven’t caught the guy. Highly illegal and immoral and you’re defending it? Regardless of if you agree with the protests, to defend these drivers is gross.

“These motherfuckers shouldn’t be on the roads if they don’t want to get hit, protest anywhere else that doesn’t inconvenience me” Hey dumbass, the entire point of a protest is to disrupt. You don’t get heard unless you make it known that a bunch of people aren’t happy and are pissed to the point of mildly breaking the law.

#11 you are clearly uneducated on the matter so why such strong opinions? Illegal immigrants still pay taxes and they do not benefit from government assistance, meaning no one else is paying for their houses or anything. They are hard workers. I mean ice is literally taking them from their jobs, using tax forms to find them, even showing up at their immigration hearings and blocking them from gaining legal documents.

panic is still not an excuse for murder

i have panic attacks and even if this does cause this kind of response in someone it’s still not an excuse. personally i freeze up when i panic but people run away also. no panic response is an excuse to literally kill people

Being undocumented (a civil offense not a criminal one btw) is not comparable to murder (it’s murder when you deliberately drive your car into people and kill them btw)

You don’t have to stay home just figure out an alternate route like you would for a parade or literally any other road closure. Again, inconvenience does not justify murder.

You guys seriously lack so much empathy it’s insane. Many of these people came here escaping terrible dangerous situations to give their children a better life. And protesting doesn’t mean we hate our country are you fr? You realize our 1st amendment right protects the right to protest right?

there is no issue at all if someone comes here legally and has a visa. the second the visa is up that’s an issue you can’t stay here for fun. this also shouldn’t be an issue. if you know your visa is gonna expire, fio or they’re fio for you

Someone jumping out last minute in front of your car before you have time to stop is different than speeding through a crowd. Stop jumping through hoops to defend this.

Listen bottomline, people should not be speeding through crowds regardless of what the protest is for. That was the point of this post. When it comes to immigration, I think we desperately need to fix the system because it’s should not take decades to gain legal citizenship. The process is incredibly hard and complicated and expensive, that’s why so many people skip the process. At the end of the day, we all need more compassion and empathy for people’s different situations.

Not every nation came from the genocide of the native people there if you didn’t know. Our country and its founding are flawed and telling people they’re not welcome here bc they don’t have a piece of paper is more proof that our country is immoral.

at the end of the day we need more compassion and empathy for our own american citizens rather than undocumented illegal immigrants. why don’t we make sure every retired veteran is here comfortably. why don’t we make sure every child in america is cared for. why is it always the people who shouldn’t even be here need support more. it’s crazy to me tbh

Why is it a competition? Why can’t you focus on more than one issue at once? Instead of directing your anger at other struggling people, direct it at the people in power who have the power to help with those issues and don’t? Have your own protests for those issues. Do something.

Why don’t we just have compassion for humans??? All humans are people whether you’re rich or poor, documented or undocumented, child or adult, gay or straight, criminal or not. Humans are humans and deserve to treated that way. Giving significance to one type of human over another is the death of humanity.

I don’t know why you’re assuming I don’t care for the country when I’m quite literally here saying I care for everyone here. But I don’t love what’s happening in the country right now. I hate all the hatred and division that our current president has caused. And protesting is actually a very patriotic thing to do. Take a look at our constitution.

1

Maybe our president should focus some energy on that instead of tearing parents away from their crying children. I’m just saying, he claimed he was going after violent criminals and now is just tearing families apart who’s only crime was being here illegally. You have to understand the different levels of crime, and also learn to separate legality from morality because those are two different things.

You know that’s not who this post is about. There are hateful people out there who despise the protests so much that they will drive through a crowd not caring who they kill.

I’m confused. What are you referring to by “common sense”? Like I consider common sense to not drive through a crowded street and run people over and I’d say the same exact thing if it happened to a conservative protest. Because my whole entire point was that disagreeing with someone does not justify murder. I do agree with you that some people in this thread were being hypocrites tho. Which is why I wouldn’t have replied to your comment at all until you said you weren’t on either side.

Anonymous landtrust 13w

Because not being on either side politically is one thing (that I do disagree with but won’t argue with you on at this point) but not being on either side in this thread means that you don’t care about murdering people you disagree with which is just crazy to me
