My first thoughts watching the early evening footage was why the **** not select first gear and just drive on through the petrol bombing bastards.

However as truckie bloke states:-

"I just wonder how much damage the recent trials of soldiers who have been accused of using too much force, (and then leading to murder charges) has played on their minds..."

For me I just remember those two unfortunate police Cpl's in Belfast who suffered the ultimate mob/terrorist fate and know that faced with todays scenario I would shoot to kill and worry about the court case later...........

Which is a pretty sad indictment of our lords and masters who have placed folks in harms way without the required "backup"

all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced
