Thats a bit dramatic, they were blocking the way, he drove in the road, they moved, then they threw a hissy fit, and they were god awful at chanting so they deserved it.

Well I dont believe he assaulted them so I don't think charges should be warranted. Was he being kind of a dick? Sure. But until we start prosecuting all the dicks he should be fine. Maybe a write up from his bosses might be in order at most.

Well, he did knock over two protestors with his truck. Both were taken to the hospital that night following the incident.

The way I'm reading this, Woodward drove into protestors(not slowly), many of which got out of the way. But other protestors came in, and Woodward went through anyway, injuring two. No matter how you look at it, that's some form of assault. Even at the basic "pedestrians always have the right of way", he's further in the wrong than anyone in that crowd.

Other guards came out and maced the **** out of the protestors. I can actually understand this part, as trying to control an otherwise uncontrollable situation just boils down to a quick judgement. Someone made the call, and had support that you'd want your coworkers to show in a potentially violent and fatal situation. That's not to say it was the right call. I'm on the fence with that.

But after all this, the guy felt like he was in the wrong, and resigned over it.

What am I missing here? What makes what this guy did wholly excusable?
