When people started swarming that car, beating on it for the sin of honking at jaywalkers, what the actual fuck did they expect? Did they really think the driver would just take it, potentially risking his property or even his life?
When you punch a random horse on its ass, do you expect it not to either charge away or kick back?
I swear, these rioters are zombies like
I said before. They just stand around in the street, not responding to the car behind them, until said car makes noise. Then they all start beating on the source of that noise by instinct.
Then the horde REALLY gets riled up at the pained scream one of its own makes as a consequence of its actions.
