In what civilized country do you think it is OK to illegally block streets, surround cars with people in them, then scream at and bang on the car?
Probably the country that got its start by trashing a harbor, trespassing on private property and then dropping private property in to the ocean. Also you present a false choice. It doesn’t have to be either ok to block streets or ok to run over people blocking streets. It can be illegal to block streets, illegal to run over the people blocking those streets and perfectly fine to call the cops on them and wait for the cops to disperse or arrest them.

You do understand how that could make the person in the car afraid for their safety, no?
Peoples level of fear vary. Obviously you frighten easily. Thats ok. The question is whether or not your fear is reasonable. If you're in a car and people are just banging on your hood there isn't much threat to you. If they have weapons and are hitting at your windows then sure, you have reasonable fear for your safety.

If the people that did that cared at all about anyone's safety, they wouldn't do it.
I agree. You probably shouldn't go banging on peoples cars, especially when they can be as frightened as you admittedly are, but that still shouldn't be a reasonable excuse for physical violence.
