According to gateway pundit, incident occurred in parking lot.

Gateway pundit links to ABC 7 (headline):

Car drives through dueling demonstrations between Black Lives Matter protesters, counter-protesters in Yorba Linda

So it's possible the antifa folks where attacking the vehicle and the driver drive through everyone in the way to get to safety? Sounds like we need more details on if this was an attack or someone fleeing danger.

The video is in the linked article. The driver intentionally drove through a crowd of Trump supporters with the intent to hurt/kill them.

Nothing is clear from the video. Like most video clips of incidents like this, it starts in the middle, so we have no idea what was happening in the immediate perimeter of the car before it took off. If this was a crowd that included both Trump supporters and BLM/Antifa "protesters", there certainly could have been something happening that made the driver reasonably fear for her safety.

Facts first, judgement later.

If, as reported, the injuries happened in a parking lot, I'm not going to make any excuses for anyone conducting a rally or protest or counterprotest in a parking lot that hasn't been reserved for the purpose, and been blocked off so that no vehicles can come and go. If I'm in a car in a parking lot that I have a right to be in, and there's a crowd of people -- any people -- making it impossible for me to drive away freely when I want to, in the current environment, I'd hit the gas and get the hell out of Dodge too.

Driver switched seats, while leaving car to the other side no one was attacking. Driver sits down and immediately plows through people. Didn`t slowly drive waiting for people to step away but starts right away.

Certainly drivers lifes didn`t seem to be in any danger. Unwarranted reaction.

You're right, i didn't find the link when I first read the article, looks 100% deliberate. Do we know if the DA in that city has a history of letting these basturds off?

From the video I saw, the car didn't hit the gas until someone threw a rock into their rear windshield.

No, you can clearly see as she gassed it the rea window is intact. It was broken after the fact

That's not true at all. Noone touched her vehicle until she started driving through the crowd instead of backing up, it was after she already hit people a patriot busted out her windshield with a handheld tool

You were apparently watching the video in reverse.

If you watch it forwards, the car rams the crowd, brakes, starts to accelerate to ram the crowd again, and then during (i.e. after the start of) that 2nd accelerating into the crowd, the dude smashes the back window.

Hmm, I think we have 3 possible scenarios

  1. Could have been an innocent bystander trying to escape the fighting between patriots and antifa.

  2. Could have been antifa using a vehicle to try and kill Trump supporters.

  3. The Trump supporters were acting like leftists by trying to block cars in the parking lot.

Still don’t know if there was an alternative path the car could have used to leave. If so then they are guilty of attempted murder.

  1. Could have been some brainwashed normie who thought, "Oh no, I'm surrounded by Trump supporters, I'm literally shaking!".

That qualifies as option 2 for me.
