“Safe” Inside a Stationary Vehicle?
Two weeks ago, on I90 near Cleveland, OH, the entire freeway was blocked, taken over, and completely shut down for more than an hour by a mob of street thugs who then accosted stalled motorists. No escape was allowed!
Frantic 911 calls from stranded motorists were answered with a voicemail recording!
Many naively believe they are “safe” within a locked vehicle, but auto glass represents only a “symbolic” barrier. It is easily shattered. Thus, when inside a vehicle, your only safety lies in motion! So long as you’re moving, escape from criminal violence is possible.
This is why “street takeovers,” like the one described above, are so dangerous!
When you are inside a vehicle that isn’t moving and blocked in so you can’t move, you are in extreme peril from mobs of street criminals, the very ones who manufacture the street takeover, to begin with, in an effort to trap hapless victims!
When stalled by a violent riot, stationary vehicles are death traps!
When approaching a manufactured traffic jam, turn around as quickly as you can (driving across the median when necessary) and rapidly exit, going the other direction.
We’ll see many of these incidents, mostly around metro areas, in the coming weeks and surely immediately after the election.
Arrests are rarely made, so overwhelmed police have few tactics that are effective in preventing these dangerously obstructive/paralyzing riots. Most will go on for hours, maybe days, with no effective police intervention.
Trapped victims will be at the mercy of violent mobsters, who have little to worry about.
Extreme caution, as well as adequate personal preparation, are the order of the day!

Or, drive over them because they are holding you captive/hostage against your will and if they break your glass, you have every right to shoot them for encroachment and always remember, you were in fear for your and others lives and was doing the only thing you could do to protect them from the eminent and obvious harm you were seeing inflicted upon others in their path and you only reacted when it was upon you and there was no other means of protecting yourself or escape! Like the article says. There is not enough law enforcement to go around… Read more »
Time to start carrying your AR in the car with a chest rig of extra mags to go along with your EDC gear. The rats will scatter when you are exercising your self defense rights. Don’t call the cops, call Waste Management to come get the trash out of the street and go on home.
Florida has a law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis in which those driving on a road or highway while a protest is occurring are granted civil immunity protections if they drive their vehicles into the crowd, causing harm to those taking part in the demonstration.
Road waffles will protest NO MORE !
Big narly off-road treads make real “WAFFLES” of road protestors…..just add syrup…..
DING….DING….DING….DESANTIS’N’FLORIDA FOR THE WIN!!!!
Articles have mentioned that at southern border crossings, illegals will run through checkpoint and rob stuck motorist and even carjack them!
News article said that numerous gun stores broken into in Cincinnati Ohio.
Police say thieves are 13 to 16 years old.
Over 100 guns stolen and only 10 recovered.
Soros appointed DA will drop charges against them because they are young and turn them loose to run wild through the city.
here in the gunshine state the legislature passed a law was passed that allows you to proceed when they do this if you are in fear of your life, which you are at a time like this. mob mentality has no limits therefore, at that point you should have none either. your safety is more important than theirs.
pick them off as they reach into cars
never pull up too close to a backup distance is time to react
Always leave an escape route in traffic, always keep your head on a swivel. I drove truck and remember being in the same area as the Rodney King riots. I’ll never be an easy target
They can’t reach in if they are under the wheels of the car .
Many of these ” flash mobs” will carry baseball bats, section of chain, or tire irons.
They’ve shown them on videos driving by on dirt bikes, ATV”s and hitting cars with tire iros and chains just for their amusement.
Then they go to convenience stores and steal everything they can and trash the place.
The far leftist politicians want to defund abolish the police department and have only social workers who will offer criminals hot chocolate and cookies and sing songs.
Chains, tyre irons, bats, all constitute lethal force weapons, as does large crowds, constituting disparity of force. Lethal response IS justified in all such cases.
The main reason I decided to put up with the misery of getting my Mother May I Card was specifically for vehicle carry. Trapped in traffic I am a sitting duck. An armed sitting duck might be a little less vulnerable. Most states prohibit the possession of a loaded firearm (an unloaded one is not really a firearm, it is a bludgeon) in a vehicle unless one has the MMI Card.
Not actually true. Illegal in most blue coastal states, but last I heard “constitutional carry” (permitless carry) is legal in 27 of the 50 states. Thus carry in vehicle or on your person pretty much anywhere is legal in majority of states.
Of course this is majority by count of states or number of senators – but likely is not true for majority of population / congressional representatives. Also if you counted territories along with states you might be correct – no clue about Guam, but believe no permitless carry in PR, VI or (definitely) DC. Other territories?
IMOA, if caught in this situation, turn on your phones video feature to capture the violence directed at you. Should you need to drive away in an attempt to protect yourself you’ll have video documentation you were in fear of your life too.
What’s going to happen is these clowns pointing airsoft guns at an armed driver will end badly for the criminal pointing said weapon. Could also end badly for a buffoon using a bat to gain entry as well.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:
Do not hold me or any member of my family hostage. You won’t like what I’m willing and prepared to do in order to effect an escape. An illegal roadblock is a terroristic attack. I will respond accordingly.
Napolean saw more battle than anyone else ever known. But death by mob was his greatest life’s fear.
If you must exit your vehicle, you are outnumbered and you do not know what weaponry you will be facing.
If any body here has advice on dark street fighting, I would like to read that.

brian, are you guys targeting me for my comments? seems like is.
Bodies are just like mud…..4×4 only allows one to get stuck where they could not reach with 4×2….you’ll need a great power washer to get all the mess out of those wheelwells……
Ala the NEED for a “truck gun” or two or three….and a shit load of big ass capacity mags chock full o’ ammo…. When one fears for life or grave bodily harm….disparity of force/numbers….lethal force is authorized….against all perpetrators present…..shoot the close ones, run over the ones in the exit lane. Then, face a Libturd Prosecuting Attorney costing you all you’ll ever have.

Meh…it aint rocket science.
True, but some forethought and what-ifs help the actions/reactions on site.
