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.

That happened after not the first time, but after the second time she accelerated into the crowd. It was a response to her running into people, not the cause of it.

Not saying that was the right response - I'm actually suspicious that dude was a false flag agitator.

Easy for you to say. Every report I've seen says there were both Trump supporters and BLM-Antifa "protesters" in the immediate area. No driver should be expected to stick around in a situation like this. NOBODY should be demonstrating or rallying or protesting in any place that vehicles have a right to be driving. Waving a Trump flag isn't a license to break the law. And there's nothing preventing BLM-Antifa thugs from running false flag operations -- anybody blocking the path of a vehicle that has a right to proceed, should be assumed to be dangerous.

Huh? Driver walked calmly around the vehicle, wasnt afraid to exit it and give his back to the people standing around?

And when you seem someone in your path you always drive them over? You are creating a lot of strawmans in your argument about false flag nonsense. The situation is plain to see in that scene.

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

Why was the car being surrounded and not allowed through in the first place? This kind of shit pisses me off. Do not restrict my ability to travel freely. Tired of fucking protests, go to work.

It was allowed through and wasn't blocked. She had a clear path to reverse the car and exit the parking lot. Noone was touching her vehicle.

It sounds like you may not have watched the vids. This was a parked car in a parking lot not on a roadway.

True, there were multiple times they gassed it. The first time everything was in tact.

bellcurvestrikesback 2 points ago +7 / -5

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

Ummm she was parked with a curb directly in front of her. Why don't you just watch the video dude.

Edit: no curb

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.
