Twitter is reportedly in conversation with a number of tech companies for a potential sale. According to CNBC, the social company is in talks with the likes of Google and cloud computing company...
The suiters [sic] courting Twitter are said to be interested in the data the company generates from its 313 million active users. However, sources say that, while conversations are ongoing and picking up steam, there's no assurance that a deal will be inked. As a result, Twitter's stocks have soared as high as 23 percent based on the news. Meanwhile, TechCrunch reports that the company has just lost two key staffers, including head of TV Andrew Adashek.

You're both terribly wrong. I'm not going to Breitbart to read any of that bullshit. It's title says it all. Where you're both disconnected from reality, and your bias to violence shows, is in the statement "run them over".
If you're in that situation there is an incredible difference between "don't stop moving forward" and "run them over". It's intent. One is intending to escape, and the causing of injuries being secondary towards your right to survive and defend yourself. One is the intention to end lives. Running people over rarely results in them being alive to argue with you later, but horrible maiming and death.
Placed in that situation you don't need to instantly resort to killing. What about backwards?
I'm just as iffy as you about the ban hammer, even in this case, but that isn't a rational justification for running people over.
Are you that convinced they would pull you out to kill you? If they're protesting, and you were afraid, the easiest way out is to stop the car. You then get out and yell, "is the the protest?!!". Then say you have that lane blocked off, and you're walking back to organize friends that are coming. Get the fuck out there.
These aren't terribly bad people. They're protestors. I don't think you need to default to killing them, but that might require quite a bit of yielding to their temporary insistence to occupy that exact piece of land. You need to get through so bad you would kill them? You let things cool down a bit and perhaps nobody needs to die.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
