Driving legally down a one-way street with the flow of traffic and then being harassed by 'protesters' illegally coming down that same street in the wrong direction beating on your vehicle and flattening one of your tires  because you have a Trump flag is equivalent to 'poking a bear with a stick'?

In what universe?

If it had been me, I might have felt a "reasonable belief that I was in imminent danger of serious bodily harm" from the undisciplined obscene mob beating on my vehicle.  

You know, where I get to use "deadly physical force" to defend myself? 

The kind of deadly physical force which happened in Portland right after the election when the 'protesters' met the black guys (legally in their car) on the bridge and the black guys thought they were being 'dissed' and popped  a couple caps in their direction. 

Those here who encourage nastiness even here on "Civil" Comments should not be surprised the next time rounds go downrange.
