A driver sped away with two people clinging to the car during a protest in Indiana over the alleged lynching attempt of a black man, according to reports.
Footage posted to Twitter showed the red vehicle taking off Monday with one person on the hood and another hanging onto the driver’s side in Bloomington.
The incident occurred around 9 p.m. near the Monroe County Courthouse during a demonstration to demand the arrests of several people who allegedly attacked Vauhxx Rush Booker on the Fourth of July near Lake Monroe, news station RTV6 reported.
Geoff Stewart, the man who was holding onto the side of the car,

There is something wrong with drivers - - who don't allow themselves to be attacked by people who are more woke than they are. Why don't they just submit to their moral superiors?

So, blocking the street and as a car tries to get through, rather than getting out of the way, you jump up on the car to try to stop it. And in the process you get hurt. Hmmm.
Life is all about choices Choosing to jump on a moving car is way up high on the list of "dumbest possible choices to make, ever".
And don't play in the road. It's dangerous.

It's far better to be arrested later than to be shot or beaten while trying to drive on a road made for cars. Jump on my car, expect a free thrill ride or a back massage by tire.

What are the chances there is more to this story than is being reported?

#3 reminds me of the old saying: "Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6". That will be my choice in 100% of cases where I think my life is threatened.

Ok, we heard their side. Now we wait for the other side of the story. Then I’ll decide in favor of the driver.

If you are standing in the street, that is your problem, and drivers should not be liable.

Considering the violence against people in te wrong place at the wrong time, I can see why this could happen. The protestors, again and again have been violent. If I had someone blocking the way then jumping on the car, I'd accelerate too, and when I got far enough away from the crowd, if they're still hanging on, I'd stop and get out to see if they're hurt and if necessary, to defend myself if they continue to act aggressive. I can handle 2 or three. Wouldn't want to mess with 20 or 30.

A lunar eclipse can be observed over a very large area. Why did he need to cross private property to view it? He sure had his camera ready when he needed it. What happened before and after? Appears provoked for another "racist" post to me.
I see the young lady with the dog in Central Park has been charged with filing a false report. He did threaten her and her dog and we don't know what may have happened had she not called 911, do we? Again, the guy had his phone camera ready at the appropriate time too.
Hoaxes, hoaxes everywhere and no one to believe

vauhxx for a first name? That is insane, excessive even for proud ethnic labeling..
In many countries, silly first names are forbidden by the government.

I'll wait a couple days, this guy is a well known local activist, in a far left town. He was out trespassing in a less than left rural area and HE thinks he must be in the right.
We don't play the racist game out here in the boonies. A man is judged by his actions, not the color of the skin.As a rule, if it comes out of Bloomington it is socialist. No exceptions.

FTA: ''we tried to stop her and let her know that the crowd is clearing up, just wait a second,” Stewart told the outlet.''
Sure you did, Stewart. You were just trying to be polite and courteous to the driver, who just didn't understand your kindness! Just because a mob surrounded the car was no cause for alarm, right?

Protestors are lucky to be alive in this charged atmosphere, but will they learn from it?

The "attempted lynching" was simply white landowners trying to stop a black man from trespassing on their property.
When he ignored them, one of them stopped his forward progress further into his property and he ended up kneeling down to try to get away, between the man and a tree.
The black man called it an attempted lynching instead of just leaving.

Play in the street and expect to get hit. These days, drivers are getting shot if they pass a "protest " and aren't waving the appropriate sign!
