Saw this over at Wirecutter’s. Money quote is at 1:30.
“We are not going to keep talking about why she did what she did. It’s irrelevant because you and I as private citizens could never get away with that. That would be vehicular manslaughter, she could’ve died,”
Maybe in the People’s Republic of California, but in Free States, it is not only that you can get away, it is your self-defense mandate to avoid harm when assholes climb in your vehicle.
Oh yes! California! @ deputies were just ambushed in their cars and the good old memory of Reginald Denny is still fresh in the memory of many.
They think their cause is righteous, therefore no tactics, no actions, nothing they do is wrong or criminal or stupid. Burning, Looting and Murdering are OK for the cause.

Remind me again who said that…?
It’s often attributed to Niccolò Machiavelli, but it could be attributed to any of the “philosophers” debating Consequentialism. Wikipedia has an entry devoted to Consequentialism, but it’s Wikipedia . . .
The End Justifies the Means is more anti-Judeo-Christian propaganda and smells a lot like Critical Theory.
They believe they have a monopoly on force. They can block the road but you can’t drive through. They can push you around and hit you with objects but you can’t fight back. They get very offended when other people do not recognize their monopoly. They are shocked people might fight back.
