this. it's not like some guy went on a road rage and ran over a family having a picnic in the park. These people are fucking rioting. they are burning cars, killing people, looting stores, and up until recently were in a fullon war with the police.
If you were in that van with that mob around you, knowing what was going on, knowing what had been happening, and then people start whaling on your van and smashing windows and shit, you bet you would have done the exact same thing. Besides I have been hit by a car like that, and I just rolled on to the hood and off the roof. I doubt anyone died. Maybe a few broken bones, sure, but again they were rioters. they knew there were risks. and at least it's better than that guy who was hit in the face with a tear gas canister.
