    Dammit I hate being reduced to a city car!

    My old truck would have crushed those assholes.

    Too bad the driver didn't have an AK barrel to stick out the window.

    Wow guys...not the response I was expecting.

    But, it is the internet...so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

    Quite frankly Kad, if these assholes are in my way raising hell over bullshit, I'd have run them over too. Some people have shit to do.

    Same here. Especially if I have my family in the car.

    Considering how much vitriol "hate talk" radio has been spewing non-stop over the last 48 hours, demonizing the protesters and what not, let me just say that it wouldn't surprise me if the driver did it on purpose.

    I don't find it very funny either.

    Yes I know, the innocent driver, who has never killed Michael Brown, should have no problem risking his life and property to the mercies of an unknown and unpredictable crowd.

    Get the fuck over yourself.

    Motivated by talk radio hate speech? Give me a fucking break. You must be trying to out-stupid Al Sharpton.

    In my opinion, I think you are dead on.

    I can get trying to drive through if essentially "trapped" and fearful. I can totally understand someone in a car worrying they might be dragged from the car and beaten.

    But if the driver bumped or hit those folks initially out of anger, or even impatience...that's seriously messed up.

    Well, to be fair, I only tuned in for 5 minutes or so this afternoon out of morbid curiosity to hear what Michael Savage had to say, but that was plenty.

    True, that's why I softened it with the internet comment. We get so used to laughing at "fails" we sometimes forget these are real people, and not every "fail" is actually funny once you give it a few seconds of thought.

    I don't wanna come down too hard on people for making the quick comments we all probably make from time to time

    I didn't think it was funny either, that driver may have been on his way to the hospital where his wife or child was dying and the selfish protesters were keeping him from being at their side, not a damn thing funny about that.
