Ahhh... so to you this is a political game? No wonder you are so out of your depth.
But, but, but... he cited a dictionary!
Wow, late to the party. Go figure, another republican is siding with the maniac that plowed through a crowd of people.
Anyway, yeah, according to the definition of the phrase, "run over", this fits the specs. You can go back and find the post if you want.

What does this have to do with court? You guys are trying to argue non-legal terms. They are entirely separate. There appear to be two separate issues:
1) You, lizzy, and the other guy think that the dictionary definition of run over is incorrect.
2) You guys also think that this man shouldn't be charged (I guess, I'm not really sure what you guys are arguing there).
This is what happens when you use emotive language on a debate site filled with analytical personalities.Am I arguing with real people here?
Facts mean absolutely nothing to some people. Some of the comments in this thread are the latest example of this.
Just FYI, if you have a problem with lizzie, the problem is you.

I don't have a problem with lizzy as an individual. Just pointing out how partisan the whole Ferguson issue has become.
Do you disagree with that?
For the 50 billionth time... what does the issue in Ferguson have to do with this guy "running over" people? In Court I would ask, "Relevance?".
Correct - I used a dictionary to define a word. It's madness.

This occurred in the city of Ferguson during protests related to a shooting in Ferguson (and nationwide shootings as well). What does this not have to do with Ferguson?
I don't disagree with that overall but I do disagree that lizzie is a part of it. So she wanted to clarify that nobody was seriously injured. I'm guessing your problem with that is it could temper the outrage you want to fuel.
Incorrect. It happened in Minneapolis.

Like what? ... and how you doing? Been a while.

I'll concede that I shouldn't have responded so aggressively. I guess I was just hoping that some of the people who I usually disagree with would prove me wrong and not think that it's okay to use your car to move people out of your way.
IKR?
Well let's see. We've had everything from:
-The driver couldn't see the escape route to the left (it was as clear as crystal);
-He was pissed, so he had a right or at least justification for plowing through the crowd (what civilized nation even considers tolerating such a thing?);
-He was surrounded by protesters and had no choice (haha, yeah right);
Etc. It's quite entertaining in a bad way.
Who has indicated that it is OK to "use your care to move people out of your way"?
You just make up stuff... I call you on it and nothing. Nothing. NADA.
Well Minnesota is right next to Missouri, isn't it? No? They're both states that begin with the letter "M" so they're effectively the same. Yeah, that's it.
Oh snap. :lol:
