    There was nothing in any video I have seen that justifies the actions of the rioters... climbing up on her hood, trying to break her windows, attempting to disconnect her trailer (which likely would have injured or killed someone). She found herself in what appears to be a dangerous situation for a truck driver. She took reasonable actions to get through as quickly and safely as possible. She should be commended.

    He thinks driving near somebody with a truck and blowing the horn is assault with a deadly weapon.

    Except I've seen people go to jail for exactly that driving a minivan. But believe what you will no matter how wrong you are.

    Was that sarcasm?

    It’s age restricted because it shows graphic violence... “protesters” beating the #### out of and nearly killing a truck driver.

    Thinking about this more, I’m starting to agree with you. The video is from the 90’s LA riots, the beating of trucker Reginald Denny. He is white and his attackers are all black. It is clearly a racist attack, as Denny had done nothing to them, just driving along minding his own business. YouTube probably wants to deter people from viewing this, as it doesn’t fit the PC/woke narrative which claims that people of color can’t be racist or commit racist acts. This video clearly shows otherwise.

    I sorta thing the rules of the road are not in play at this point

    But....,
    If anyone plans to be in a situation like this I think it’s best if you stop at a red light and use your blinkers before going forward so the lawyers don’t use that against you
