Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor announced Monday that she is weighing hate crimes charges for an “admitted leader of the Ku Klux Klan” after he allegedly steered his pickup truck into a group of protesters.
we had an asshole do this yesterday in downtown Seattle . Protesters were able to put a barricade in his path. He then exited with a handgun (that had a large magazine on it) shot a protester in the shoulder. Roamed the crowd with his gun and then was apprehended by police.
You’d think this racist is ASHAMED of what he did. He should OWN IT. Look right at the camera, don’t bow your head, be proud of your disgusting beliefs.
I’ll give $10 to a widows and orphans fund if he actually served in the Marine Corps.
Now, I’m trying to remember the last time a black man deliberately drove into a crowd of white supremacists to compare the two situations and darned if I can come up with anything.
Remember when the red states were proposing laws recently to stop the blocking of freeways and allow people to run protestors over? I wonder if that has any connection to all the right wingers who think they can just drive through a protest, because it sure seems to be a theme with them. We had some racist in a lifted, coal rolling truck flying Confederate/right wing flags do this here, which luckily was a small protest and no one was hit.
Someone is going to die from this…we’ve seen terrorists take trucks through crowds, why this isn’t classified as terrorism is really a big question. Oh, wait, it’s fine if white Republican racists do it…
The videos of the car accelerating up 11th are terrifying. The big crowd on Pine was oblivious to the shooting due to noise - as were the police. I hope the guy is charged and convicted. Been trying to track down who he is but so far no name has been released.
