No, it doesn't matter what they were chanting. What matters is their actions. See the video Neveragain was kind enough to provide showing that the crowd was, in fact, moving as a whole when the car entered the scene.

6 cars are corralled, quit making excuses for terrorists, because this is terrorism. If you have ever been in this situation then you know you are terrorized to the core when your vehicle is surrounded by a mob with a violent history. Your first instinct is to floor it and get the fuck out of there as any wise person should do.
The point is that it wasn't a group of people banding together to block a road because they wanted to block it, as you repeatedly try to make it out to be. It was a group of people moving from one place to another, down a street.
Also, as pointed out previously, in Virginia, pedestrians always have the right of way crossing any intersection where the speed limit of the road is less than 35 miles per hour. So even trying to make the argument that they were in the wrong for all crossing through the intersection like that, you would still be incorrect. They ALL had the legal right of way to be crossing it.
He wasn't flooring it to get out of there, he was flooring it to hurt and possibly kill people.
Again with the paranoia - just because there is a crowd of people around your car does not mean it's being 'corralled.' You must be a real peach to take to Disney World, or the mall during the holidays.
