Yeah, I read about this. The driver is of Indian decent, Dawit Kalete (I might not have the name exact). So, he's not a white supremacist.
You knw what Wingo? If he was a white guy he wouldn't be a white supremacist either. So racist of you making the assumption because he's non white he isn't a racist like all white people.
Tell you what, he was probably a guy who didn't even see the protesters, news reports say they were wearing antifa black bloc clothing. If he was white and didn't see them he wouldn't be racist either in spite of his "caucasity" he woild just be some unwitting guy just like this one was.
You so called liberals are completely against liberal principles.
Well, of course, it would depend on the facts. I was simply attempting to exclude possible suspects by virtue of possible motives. I mean, how could a Hindu Indian be a white supremacist, right? But Clyde posted some information on how Hindus from India are aligned with Trump concerning his racist views on blacks/muslims, etc. So, yes, we cannot exclude him based on his ethnicity.
Is that your point?
have you never experienced dinesh d'souza before
I think this one to me looked like an accident because they were speeding and then tried to avoid a stopped car, but it's hard to say. conservatives said for years ever since Ferguson that they wanted to run over protesters and they are doing it, it should come as no surprise that we have seen dozens of these vehicle attacks which have killed people just like in Charlottesville. they normalized running over and killing protesters as a logical and acceptable way to handle a protest on their media years ago and it's coming to fruition
https://money.cnn.com/2017/08/15/media/daily-caller-fox-news-video-car-crashing-liberal-protesters/index.html"Months before a man allegedly turned his vehicle into a weapon and plowed through a group of protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, an article that made the rounds in conservative media encouraged readers to do something similar.
Originally published by The Daily Caller and later syndicated or aggregated by several other websites, including Fox Nation, an offshoot of Fox News' website, it carried an unsubtle headline: "Here's A Reel Of Cars Plowing Through Protesters Trying To Block The Road." Embedded in the article was a minute-and-a-half long video showing one vehicle after another driving through demonstrations. The footage was set to a cover of Ludacris' "Move Bitch."
The article was published in January, but it drew renewed attention on Tuesday following this weekend's deadly incident in Charlottesville. As the outrage grew on Twitter, Fox News took action, deleting the version Fox Nation had published.
"The item was inappropriate and we've taken it down. We regret posting it in January," Noah Kotch, the editor-in-chief of Fox News Digital, said in a statement provided to CNNMoney.
Within hours, the Daily Caller had deleted the original post. That version had been published by Mike Raust, who was then a video editor at The Daily Caller.
"
Here's a compilation of liberal protesters getting pushed out of the way by cars and trucks. Study the technique; it may prove useful in the next four years," Raust wrote. "None of these clips are new, but that doesn't mean they're not still fresh."
The Daily Caller's editor-in-chief declined to comment.
Fox was far from the only outlet to pick up Raust's post. Smaller conservative sites like Right Wing News and Conservative Post also published the video, and with glee.
There's precedent for this type of rhetoric in conservative media. In fact, Raust isn't even the first one at his outlet to endorse driving over protesters.
When thousands of demonstrators gathered Washington, D.C. in March to protest the Dakota Access pipeline, Daily Caller editor Katie Frates said on Twitter, "I wonder how many #NativeNationsRise #NoDAPL protesters I could run over before I got arrested #getouttamyway"
Glenn Reynolds, a conservative columnist and the proprietor of the blog Instapundit, was briefly suspended by Twitter last year for his own tweet encouraging drivers to run over protesters in North Carolina.
Lawmakers in several states have proposed laws this year intended to ease the liability for drivers who hit protesters. A bill in North Dakota's state legislature, introduced in response to the Dakota Access pipeline unrest in the state, would have made it legal to accidentally run over protesters in the road. The measure failed to pass in February."
