Oklahoma Considers Law Reform to Allow Defensive Escape by Motor Vehicle

Bottom line up front, if a crowd gathers around my vehicle, hitting, kicking, or breaking stuff on my vehicle, I am going to hit the gas pedal and deal with the consequences later, if that means my tires go over masked anarchists, so much the better. If they are hitting my vehicle with weapons, well, I have a bigger weapon, and I will use it to aid in my escape.

A violent mob is a deadly weapon and the threat of mob violence may be opposed by the use of deadly force. I see nothing wrong with that.

Florida enacted a similar law a few months ago.
