Agreed. This is what "plowed through a group" means: NSFW VIDEO: Car Plows Into Group of Bikers - YouTube
The car in OP's video just sort of bumped into a few people and stopped before hurting anyone, then carefully fled the crowed.
The driver of that car is a jerk. The other cars were driving around the crowd with no problem, but he/she was determined to drive right through them. Yes, the protesters were blocking the road, but that's no excuse to drive into them and over the woman's legs.
Two wrongs don't make a right. The protesters weren't hurting anyone, the driver did.
That would be the sensible thing to do, but right now many places across the country are letting these assholes walk wherever the hell they want for however long they want (perhaps because they can't immediately stop it to begin with). All the meanwhile some liberals are praising that as some sort of demonstration of how civilized they are.
Lets face it, even if it was intentional this driver would have the full-throated support of at least one righttard.
Keep in mind that he drove OVER the woman's legs after the mob rushed the car. At that point you have to worry about the safety of yourself and the passengers. And I'm sorry, if it's a choice of some stranger who shouldn't be there in the first place, or my child sitting in the back, well **** the woman. Really though, I blame the police because this should of been cordoned off right?
To quote at least one poster in this thread, there are plenty of 'lefttards' that would have excused Reginald Denny's attackers and said he should have taken what he had coming to him like a man.
Speaking of which....
“Not once did I consider our attackers to be ‘bad people.’ I trust that they weren’t trying to hurt me. In fact, if they knew me, I bet they’d think I was okay,” wrote Friedfeld in an editorial featured in The Hoya, the university’s newspaper. “The fact that these two kids, who appeared younger than I, have even had to entertain these questions suggests their universes are light years away from mine.”
Friedfeld claims it is the pronounced inequality gap in Washington, D.C. that has fueled these types of crimes. He also says that as a middle-class man, he does not have the right to judge his muggers.
“Who am I to stand from my perch of privilege, surrounded by million-dollar homes and paying for a $60,000 education, to condemn these young men as ‘thugs?’” asks Friedfeld. “It’s precisely this kind of ‘otherization’ that fuels the problem.”
Police also aren’t the solution to the problem, Friedfeld argues.
“If we ever want opportunistic crime to end, we should look at ourselves first. Simply amplifying police presence will not solve the issue. Police protect us by keeping those ‘bad people’ out of our neighborhood, and I’m grateful for it. And yet, I realize it’s self-serving and doesn’t actually fix anything.”
Friedfeld suggests that the “privileged” adapt to normalized crime, until the wrongs of the past are righted.
“The millennial generation is taking over the reins of the world, and thus we are presented with a wonderful opportunity to right some of the wrongs of the past,” writes Friedfeld. “Until we do so, we should get comfortable with sporadic muggings and break-ins. I can hardly blame them. The cards are all in our hands, and we’re not playing them.”
Student mugged, says he deserved it because of his 'privilege'
He shouldn't have been in the middle of them to begin with. He put himself and his hypothetical child in danger... not to mention the woman.
I'm not following.
You're saying that the driver shouldn't have taken his car onto a public roadway?
Or...?
I'm saying he should have turned left like all the other drivers were doing. He was a fool to drive into the crowd. He put himself and all the people in the crowd in danger.
While they should not have been blocking the road, he exacerbated the problem.

I watched last night as a bunch of entitled white kids tried to block freeways with moving traffic in Portland. I was very surprised none got hurt and that they didn't cause a pile up. If you're willfully standing in the middle of the street in order to block traffic illegally, like the lowly squirrel, you should be fair game to become another one of Flat Stanley's pets.
When I see people walking in the street where traffic is traveling, when there is a sidewalk they can use, I figure it is because they want to die.

I don't live in the US so you can keep your racist bull**** to yourself.
