From FB:
“The Nevada stretch of the Lincoln Highway was rigorous to say the least. The Fallon Sink, east of Fallon, snared many a Model T in its sandy and muddy flat until the road was improved in the 1920s. The three men above work vigorously to free their vehicle. J.B. Wainwright (see text on car) distributed for Firestone tires in the early 1900s.” - Nevada Magazine

All too often the "over educated " are "under intelligent."

No. Also not to civil suits. A President's pardon only applies to Federal crimes.
Thanks. I was pretty sure that was the answer.

And then they would stomp the fire out. And stomping on it would cause it to explode and blow their foot off.
Sort of like smokeless powder. Dump some out, maybe a tablespoon full, onto a flat surface, put a flame to it and it just takes its time and gently burns until it's consumed.
Put that same amount into something that partially encloses it, say a 1 inch pipe end cap, run a fuse into it and light it off and it's a LOT more energetic. Quite vigorous, in fact.

Do those pardons apply to STATE charges?

I would have reversed and got out of there.
I had thought about that option, but it takes the drivers attention off the threat, is much slower than forward, that keeps you in the danger zone longer.

On the day Trump was inaugurated in 2017
That civil war started on election night in 2016. Heck, the riots blocked on and off ramps, blocked roads to try to shut down his campaign rallies during the 2016 campaign were skirmishes before the all out war. There were only a tiny percentage of the active rioters, looters, arsonists, etc. that were brought to trial.
But, to the subject of the Bidens being pardoned:

Cajon Pass Brown Improves Toll Road
In the latter part of 1874, John Brown finally decided to make some improvements to the turnpike, a decision no doubt spurred for the most part by the explosion of activity created by the Panamint mines, and the constant flow of traffic between there and the Southern Pacific railhead at Spadra. The increase in toll collections from this traffic was substantial enough to support a major reconstruction on the steepest segment of the road near the summit.
The cut at the summit reduced the grade making it easier to pass.
In September Brown promised to relocate the road, so that teams could "go through the low gap to the right of the top of the hill, thereby avoiding the high ascent of the present road." He also planned to improve the new route by blasting a 185-foot segment in order to reduce the grade even further. In early December it was reported that a "splendid highway" was under construction, and Brown announced he would "spare no expense in improving it to perfection." On December 28th the San Bernardino Weekly Argus gave a glowing account of the project:-
THE NEW ROAD -- The new road being built by Mr. Brown is certainly a great improvement. It intercepts the toll road about a mile above Fear's station and runs in a direct line for Panamint and is nearer Bear and Holcomb valleys, and other mining districts, than the old road.
Mr. Brown has had considerable experience in road building and has selected an excellent grade over the summit, perfectly straight, and wide enough for teams to pass each other nearly all the way. The summit is a hard cement formation and has to be blasted. Several cuts are being made and hollows filled, some a long distance. The work was finished in early February, and Brown, in an ebullient mood, said, "I wish...to inform the traveling public that the so-much-talked-of new wagon road through the Cajon Pass, is finished, the last spike driven."

Gave my passenger call police as soon as the guy got out with a gun in his hand. Make sure to get the guys face and license plate on video.
Put it in gear and tromped on the accelerator and gone right for the attacker.
