Fuck...had to close down the video, didn't wanna see what happened next. Hopefully no one is killed.

I still stand by my opinion that everyone of Alt-Right, Nazi and extreme right affilitation should be arrested.

Fuck all of those assholes...
 
Eh, when you are surrounded by a dozen shouting people, sometimes you do stupid shit, like gunning the gas pedal in panic.

I'll wait until the investigation is more conclusive.

Aw. He's scared.

But you know, black kids can't carry a can of iced teas and a pack of Skittles.

So, it balances out.
 
Is there any coming back from this, as a country?

I don't even know anymore. Is this the new normal? Protest against hate, get slaughtered in the United States of America in the year 2017?

Investigation? Watch the videos. You can see the whole thing. The car drives down an area that is not that densely populated into a dense area and plows right into people and then hits a parked car which the guy likely did not notice. He then backs up a bit, plows again and the full throttles out of there.
 
Fucking snowflakes will literally try to kill people for telling them racism is wrong. I hope all the victims pull through okay. At least the sick fuck has been arrested.

Terrorist piece of shit.

I'm saying people do stupid shit in panic. It happens.

I once accidentally hit a car. In panic I hit the gas pedal again and rammed the back. :|
 
The visible left needs to start arming itself.

It'll kill two birds with one stone; protection from the already-armed right and will scare the shit out of legislators enough that they'll push for stricter gun control.

There's a clip of the driver accelerating on a mostly empty street into a crowd.

No left or right turns. Down one block to speed and accelerate into another.

Panic my fuckin' ass.

The driver is likely panicking now because people want the driver's blood.

Consider for one moment that the driver went into that crowd with already removed license plates...

I sure am glad that Donald ordered a Countering Violent Extremism program shortly after he took office that only focuses on Muslims.

Please watch the video or shut up. Where this person was driving all the people were on the sidewalk, he gunned it into people on in the street.

Also the dude backed up really fast into a crowd. You don't just do that if you "freaked out" and drive straight through a crowd into another car.

The difference there is that you didn't see a group of people and decide to run them over, back up after hitting a car, and then speed off. At least, I'm just going to assume that you stuck around after hitting the car, and even then, the situation is wildly different.
