The likely result of being shot wile trying to run someone down is the
sudden lack of ability to control the car, keep the gas pedal on the floor,
etc. It is highly unlikely that the shot person will think anything like
what Rosalind wrote, if indeed they are able to form any thoughts at all,
perhaps being instantly dead. Just consider what you can aim at in a car
coming straight at you, namely a head in the windshield. Not a likely
candidate for a leg wound...
I do wish that Minneapolis would have kept its drug dealers and police on
the west side of the river, though, instead of having a shoot-out on West
7th.
