If you’ve never had to convince an elderly family member to give up their keys then I envy you. It’s not actually legal to just take them from them, and officials are often slow to act before anyone has been hurt. Looking at all the signs and movement at a protest is the exact time I’d expect an elderly person who shouldn’t be driving to drift into the crowd due to target fixation. It’s also why I don’t stand near open roads at a protest, way more than the fear of a vehicle attack.

Maybe he’s a lying son of a bitch, but I’d bet there’s at least equal chances he’s just old. Almost 80 is too old to be driving for most people.
