Driving into someone with a car is deadly force, so unless you could justify shooting or stabbing them for the same thing in self-defense I cannot agree.

Do you think he could justify pulling a pistol and firing it near or at them in this case? Because I am not sure he can.

If someone puts their hands on me to physically restrain or impede me from moving where I need to go, especially while acting in a threating intimidating manner, yes I fully believe I have a right to shoot or stab them or run over them with my car if that's the only way I can exit the situation, because I am not a mind reader, I do not know their next action or what else they are concealing that may further harm me.

I do not believe it is my responsibility to find out how the situation further escalates before I take action to protect myself from the current situation. The person(s) have already revealed ill intent by physically restraining me, it does not matter if I'm outside or inside my vehicle, the situation is the same, I am being physically restrained and that itself is physically aggressive.

Now, if it's more than one person like a crowd of people, it only magnifies the threat and risk. It's okay for people to feel passionate about whatever but physically restraining other humans against their will *is* an act of aggression justifying self-defense.
