Your nervous and afraid that this can escalate what can you do legally ?

The situations starts to escalate, Ranting, yelling and verbal threatening what can you do legally?

The situations gets explosive, sticks, rocks, are visible, people start kicking your car, spitting on it, jumping on the hood , your in fear for yours and your family's safety now. What can you do legally?

I'm interested to hear some rational thoughts on this. You always hear the statements like, "drive through them", "run'em over", "they get what they deserve" etc. but, little thought goes to what happens as a consequence to those actions.

I'm interested in hearing thoughts and how you may have mentally prepared for various scenarios.
Thanks !

Thanks for the replies, they have generated some interesting discussions and have helped me to form a base for my actions/reactions. I understand that each situation is different and each persons reaction to a particular situation may be different. The one thing that I personally need to keep in mind is that my response should equate to the threat I perceive. As much as I would like to make them pay with pain for interrupting my plans, it's probably not the best course of action unless there was a threat level that supported it.
