Counter questions: How do you know things were going to stay peaceful?

How do you know that the guy in the car was a MAGA supporter?

She stood in front of the car; it was moving slowly enough she could have stepped aside. She chose not to. And when she ended up on the hood, the other people started to close in...I doubt it would have stayed peaceful, so many others haven't, so they escaped before they could be dragged out of their car and beaten.

People do not belong in the middle of intersections.
