5,000-pound projectile. He had to stand on a lever to pour explosive liquid into the chamber to set it into motion. He knew he was doing it. He knew it could hurt someone. He was not in danger. There's no excuse.

His two accomplices testified in his defense so I guess he gets to walk.

Cool country.

I watched the video - he stopped, they came up to his truck and started slapping it. So he nudged them out of the way and drove off. It's not like he plowed into it at 60 MPH trying to kill someone.

What? They didn't come up to his truck, his truck came up to them. They were slapping it because he was "nudging" them out of the way. Slapping the hood to get his attention was a natural response to someone driving into them.

He was trying to drive through an intersection. They wouldn't move out of the street. Then they slapped his truck. It isn't like he was driving through a baseball field.

He could have killed someone.

Well, watch for traffic I guess. 🤷‍♂️

This only solidified my beliefs that motorists are monsters and can not be trusted.
