Again, I refer you to your article, posted by me already btw: "Video of the incident shows a small group of protesters in front of a blue sedan stopped at the intersection. When the car begins to move slowly forward, some protesters placed their hands on the car and tried to stop it. At that point, the car began to move faster and at least one protester jumped on the cars hood." Standing in front of a vehicle does not convey intent to harm, unless you take "harm" to mean "Inconvenience." They did not start physically assaulting the vehicle until he had conveyed what the crowd considered his "intent to harm" to them by starting to move the vehicle. Edit: By "intent to harm" here I mean that the crowd considered him as intending to harm them, even if he didn't mean for it to be that way. Driving through a crowd, no matter how slow, in my mind can be reasonably conveyed to mean "This guy might drive through us" whereas I don't really see how you take standing in front of a car to mean "These guys might attack me and my car" --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ...
