Alright, I'll be that guy:

If this had happened to me, it would have been handled differently.

One, because my vehicle is an extension of Castle Law in my state, I have the right to protect what's mine.

And two, fuck the red light, if my car is being surrounded by an unruly mob that I feel wishes to harm myself or my loved ones, I'm running their asses over without even batting an eye. Sure, they will get ONE rev of the engine, but if they fail to move after that they're going to learn what pavement and rubber tastes like.

Doesn't matter what race the mob might be, if you wish to do me harm, you should expect to be responded to with harm.

Is it wrong? Maybe. But do I have just as much a right to exit the situation as this hypothetical mob has to entice said situation? Absolutely, and by any means necessary.

I'll don my flameshield now.
