Who's to Blame When an Ivy League President Drives into His Students?

Surrounding a vehicle purposely impeding their exit path is by itself enough for me to generally side with the person being impeded. Further, if it also includes harassing and intimidating them, I refuse to agree that this behavior is acceptable and just write it off as protected speech like the author does. People have a fundamental responsibility to protect themselves, when forced into a situation like this. I remember watching the attack on Reginald Denny during the Rodney King riots and if you haven't seen that but agree with the author of this article, go watch what happened to Reginald Denny. This behavior of harassing drivers should not be normalized as acceptable in society. People that choose to do this and end up getting hurt, basically asked for it.

Don't stand right behind and attempt to obstruct a car that's trying to back up. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

(I say this despite mostly supporting the political cause that the students are championing. I wish they were smarter and more disciplined, so that they would win more battles.)

I saw the videos. He didn’t “drive into” anyone. Some idiots stepped in the path of a moving vehicle. Some, apparently, deliberately in order to get bumped, so that they could play the victim.

Aw fuck why did it have to be my alma mater.
