    The driver struck four men when he sped into a crowd of people. Police chased the vehicle before doing it and arresting the driver.

    Nobody was killed in the attack but three men suffered minor injuries not requiring hospitalization and one man suffered a more severe injury who has now been released from the hospital.

    The man who drove the SUV is being charged with assault on four people.

    I am curious to know his motivations.

    Make no mistake, at best you will see a half assed condemnation of this leftist attempting to murder people who disagree with him, followed by deflection and therefore protection of this leftist, by the resident leftwingers here.

    The reality is, so many of them actually support this type of stuff.

    The tolerant left at its finest.

    I didn't hear a peep about it until about 45 minutes ago right before I posted this thread.

    So it seems like it's being buried.

    I'm wondering if these people don't pass at least support this I mean it would be a great example of left-wing fascism. "Do what I demand of your I will kill you."

    That's also not forget the people scattering nails across the roads to try and flatten tires.

    So I'm wondering if it's not just tacit support. I've heard some people call these truckers terrorists.

    Protesting against the dictator is terrorism sounds like fascism to me.

    They got the loony leftist on camera.

    Sole occupant of a car with a mask on.

    This seems like more than assault, it seems like attempted murder.

    You won't hear much about this because it's counter to the narrative. Just like the black truckers in the convoys.

    As a whole, the left still believes Kyle Rittenhouse shot a black man in Kenosha.

    I never understood how you can try to hit someone with a car and have it be anything other than attempted murder. Can this person really claim they weren't trying to kill people? Can they really claim that they were only trying to hit, but not kill, people? It seems the vast majority of 'trying to run people over' should be attempted murder.

    Try that on a police officer and they won't hesitate to shoot your ass, because it's deadly force.

    anytime someone intentionally runs over protesters, they should be charged with attempted murder

    Oh yeah it's definitely along the lines of attempted murder in Texas he would have been charged with assault with intent to kill. At least assault with a deadly weapon or aggravated assault or something like that but you know he's doing what the government wants so the most limp slap on the wrist they can offer is probably what he's going to be charged with

    Basically the divide is people who believe the media and people who are smart enough not to.

    No I'm not sure it's a lie just cuz the media really really really really wants it to be doesn't make it a lie.

    I wonder if this is what you consider believing it.

    Wow. This thread is rich in irony.
    A short week after republicans deemed the storming of the capitol as "legitimate political discourse". They now are shocked to their core when someone violently protests.
    Of course people tend to have very very short memories, but only one year ago, republicans were signing bills left and right to protect and defend people driving through convoys, to punish illegal protesters. Of course that is when you felt you were on the other side of the argument. It's like you have completely forgotten what you stood for just one year ago out of political convenience. Color me shocked. But since you all gave up your morality 4 years ago, not exactly surprised.
    As to this incident, I am of course completely opposed to someone ramming their car though a bunch of people. That should go without saying, but I will remind you that many of you here were defending the south carolina guy who drove through protesters claiming that he feared for his life, with no actual proof other than feeling it. So I guess I need to spell it out for you guys.. Using a vehicle as a weapon is bad.
    As to the incident itself I just saw one video where it really is hard to see what happened. If you told me that it was a guy having road rage after being stuck in that protest for hours, and he tries to overtake a car and then drives off after hitting a guy, I could beleive it. If you told me that he was trying to inflict massive damage, I guess I could beleive it, but it looks like he did a **** job at it. Really hard to tell. An earlier poster said he was wearing a mask which would give obvious credence to the latter (but that poster is notorious for posting wrong info). Will see what develops. But once again: this was a very bad thing the guy did, and I hope he gets prosecuted.

    It's perfectly reasonable to assume the people who despise this trucker convoy might have one wing nut among them that would do something crazy it's not the first time.

    Never seen several episodes where psychopaths are doing psychotic things to interfere with the protest.

    I'm not saying you support it but the fact that you want to say that this person isn't doing it for the most obvious reason it seems to indicate you don't want it associated with that and I don't know why you would care that much.

    You can disagree with the truckers convoy and not want to kill people.

    I always wait for more info. Sometimes people mass-kill for reasons other than politics. e.g. shooters, for instance.

    That's possible. What I'm doing is speculating and reality is probably is because of the rhetoric of the prime Minister was using against these truckers.

    Further I've seen some psychopaths doing some psychotic things and they said themselves why they were doing it.

    It does seem that the guy was indeed wearing a bandana. Why anyone would think that while driving a car with licence plates they would be able to keep their identity hidden is byond me. As to the motif, this is what the police department had to say
    “What I can tell you here is that comments were made by the accused that tends to suggest that this was not specifically about the mandates,” Carver said during a Saturday press conference, when asked about a possible motivation.
    “Whether or not we can … rely on those comments is another question.”
    So perhaps, shockingly, one should actually wait for more information.

    Oh I don't think they really compare attempting to murder people versus attempted conspiracy to put your feet on Nancy pelosi's desk don't seem to be equal.

    Further the only person murdered in the capital protest was a protester.

    It's okay you think people that disagree with you should be murdered that's your business I disagree but we can go our separate ways.

    He was wearing a mask while alone inside his own vehicle.

    So one guess should suffice.

    LOL. It was the right who supported allowing drivers to plough through protestors blocking roads. Some red states even made laws protecting this right of drivers

    Perhaps you should have done a little research first? He was actually named nearly a day before you created the thread. He carried out an act fully supported by many on the right when faced with protesters blocking streets.
