You are allowed to use deadly force to protect your own life, or the life of an innocent victim.

I don't care if I'm allowed to or not...they're roadkill.

Anyone else remember that gizmo they used in Brazil a few years ago to stop carjackers? It was a flamethrower mounted the length of the bottom edge of the driver's side, so if someone walked up to your car and told you to give it up, you could push a button and roast them on the spot.

What if this causes more rioters to run over to try flip it even more and pull you out of your car?

I fail to see the purpose of your "what if" question here.

If they are trying to harm you, you have the right to use deadly force to protect yourself.

If you are caught in the middle of a riot and they are trying to kill you my suggestion is to floor it until you are WELL CLEAR of the rioters.

I pull out my .44 Magnum and shoot the nastiest one in the face.

BTW-I lived in Los Angeles during the riots in the early 90s and actually drove my lilly white ass through an area being looted to pick my wife up. I had a loaded .45 sitting on the seat next to me the entire time. It's not something I'd like to ever experience again but it's a very very compelling reason to own firearms for self defense IMO.

When I was 20, a group of frat boys surrounded my girlfriend and I in our VW bus. Everything was mostly fine until one of them opened her door. After I stopped being shocked, I dumped the clutch and missed people (I assume), but I was not going to wait around for them to move.

Haha yeah! I saw that in the Guiness Book of World Records as the holder of Most Deadly Car Alarm.

Umm, be sure to punch the gas before they are in front/close to your car, because by then it'll be too late. 30 humans can easily pick up a car off its wheels, so u won't go anywhere.. (lol unless its a hummer or something :) )

I'd like to see them try to hang onto my Tacoma while all four wheels get going.. ;)

A guy was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for doing this in Boston. Of course, this was during a post-Patriots Super Bowl win "riot" (students flipping cars and setting garbage cans on fire, mostly) that anyone should have seen coming. He should have ditched his SUV whereever he had parked it and filed the insurance claim the next day.
