In a stand your ground state?

Haha, ok. Good luck, Attorney General James Uthmeier.

If an armed protestor shoots a driver who is driving at them with intent to cause bodily harm, they... Both have the right to possibly kill one another?

Driver has the green light. Gunman has the green light.

Cool, cool. Makes sense.

Skin color, last name and political affiliation will determine who’s the victim and who’s the assailant

That sounds like maximum USA . Two people not caring about the other, only thinking about themselves, and neither willing to just back off

The first armed protest on a freeway will clarify everything.

There is nothing the far-right would love more than to bring the Fallujah strategy to Tampa Bay. You are absolutely off your rocker if you think the modern American political leadership is not chomping at the bit to drop a MOAB on the Woke Mob.

The first armed protest on a freeway will be smeared across the pavement, while FOX News anchors cheer and drink champagne in between cuts to Donald Trump on the deck of an aircraft carrier under a big banner that says "Mission Accomplished".

Well ya see, the driver is based and the shooter is woke so the shooter is wrong and gets the chair if the car doesn't kill them first
