No. It'd be manslaughter or worse.

No, on the flip side, which may or may not be good depending on your feelings, it may become law in certain areas that such protests will be considered terrorism and be punishable by 25 years in prison. I think it's Oregon.

I'd like to see them block off Seventh Avenue during rush hour.

You could always make a citizens arrest for disrupting the peace and being a public nusience.

Would it be legal to drive up a motorcycle really close to their faces and blow out their eardrums by gunning the engine?

How fast do you think they would move if a M-1 was comming down the street?
Edit= Hey I just notice I'm not a youngling any more.

You would be commiting manslaughter. What they are doing is wrong but you can not punish them. However, if they jump infront of your vehicle while in a crowd and you don't see them and you run them over, then its legal. That happened at an Abortion clinic. A crowd mobbed a vehicle that tried to drive up and with the crowd distracting the driver people slipped infront of the vehicle to block it. The driver gunned the engine and went forward running over two protestors. They survived but had to go straight to the hospital.

Depends whether that exceeds sound level laws.

I still like the "Cussioned Ram Prow" Idea.....
Purhaps I can make something that's slick too, so they can't get good holds and tear the cussioning off....

Simple plan:
- Get a 1972 Chevy Nova which is so badly out of tune that it belches black smoke.
- Back it up to the protesters.
- Remove weeks from their lifespan by pumping as much pollution as you can into their faces

2 things are good in this situation:
1) rack of airhorns and high power floodlights on the roof
2) microwave gun tuned to "excruciating pain" mode.
Both are within the realms of legal btw.

That is, if you were allowed to drive. Are the deaf allowed to drive?

If one of those anti war people started throwing deadly objects at you, or started to shoot, then I would say lethal self defense is in order. Of course, you're going to spend some money on lawyers.

How about I just go out, pull a shotgun, and threaten to go redneck on their ass?

So? All that matters is that they are born.
What happens after that is irrelevant.
