Not saying that the driver should've been beaten up at all. But we do need a counterbalance against the similarly-baseless assumption that the driver plowed into those protesters purely by accident or out of fear.
I say that we should keep personal commentary to a minimum and let the police or multimedia do the investigating.
Of course you're not saying the driver
should have been beaten up.
However instead of focusing on condemnation of the fact with visual and video that he was beaten up, debating over whether he might or might not have deliberately driven into the crowd (considering he was already trapped on all sides by a crowd and barely moving in the video clip) serves to deflect the conversation away from what is a blatant act of mob violence.
So, I will appropriately like to point out for the purposes of the thread, that regardless of whether the driver's maneuver was an accident or deliberate -- let's remember that the driver was beaten to a bloody pulp which we have clear video evidence for, and who is another victim on a growing list who's suffered due to mob violence from crowds dressed in black shirts that has now become increasingly common in the city.
