Here's a TL;DR of the links: [0] Guy gets into an argument with protestors, then crashes his truck. Protestors fight guy. [1] Guy exits vehicle and argues with protestors. Cop breaks it up before things get out of hand. [2] Guy (accidentally) runs over a cyclist at a protest. Protestors get angry and trash car. [3] Youtube takes down a video, puts it back up with age restrictions.

In the two cases where protestors attacked a vehicle or its occupants either the driver already had an altercation with protestors or the vehicle struck a protestor. The original comment I was replying to implied that there was lots of footage of protestors attacking people in cars. This doesn't show any evidence of that. I still haven't seen any evidence that there is a problem of protestors attacking random cars and their occupants.
