@rafoix I’m confused about the defense of “they should have closed off the roads”. He drove around a barricade according to the story, so it sounds like it was shut off. Also just kind of weird to say “yes, I intentionally ran into those people, but the cops should a have done a better job of stopping me.” He didn’t negligently hit them, right? It was on purpose? You can try to share some blame when an accident happens and say <I was negligent, but the harm should have been mitigated by other safety measures which also failed>. But it doesn’t work when you’re actually trying to cause harm.
