In India, when a reckless driver hits a pedestrian, if the police don’t come fast enough, the mob will pull the driver out of the car and beat them half to death (or worse).

saschavykos.bsky.social•3 days ago

We should do that with people who try to run down protestors.

w1tchhunter.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think that’s reasonable.

paulopatrezzi.bsky.social•2 days ago

Unfortunately, this incident reminded me that this happened in Florida..

paulopatrezzi.bsky.social•2 days ago

He did this knowing that protest would be happening, not just about the trump regime, but also about his own draconian laws.

Looking forward to finding out what part of the justice system "fumbles" this guys case so another violent bigot can walk free. Will it be the old faithful of cops and prosecutors making rookie mistakes or will we see a Rittenhouse with the judge blocking a dozen witnesses he told about his plans?

Imagine that, a fat white male that clearly appears to be basic!

tomokane053.bsky.social•2 days ago

Over in the UK he’d be called a gammon. Basically, an unintelligent faux patriot with a penchant for flags, rage, racism and believing every piece of populism posted on social media.

Didn't Ron and President Pedophile make it legal to run protestors over?

I'm glad no-one was hurt but how bad of a driver do you have to be to drive into a crowd and not hit anyone.

Yeah and the old ladies managed to dodge him.

papertownie.bsky.social•2 days ago

They don't know what the Constitution says. They like guns and hate all people who aren't cis white men. If taking away constitutional rights--even their own--means they get to hurt people they hate, they're in. That's the whole story.

charliemas.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hmmm.... you say this happened in Florida where, I'm pretty sure, Governor DeSantis make it legal to run down protesters with your car.

jeffyboh.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. I think it has some restrictions. They need to be blocking traffic I believe. Dumb law quite honestly. The law should allow for arrests of protesters blocking roads, not allowing vigilantes running people over.

charliemas.bsky.social•2 days ago

This will be the driver’s defense, and you may see a very broad definition of “impeding”.

"He drove into a crowd of senior citizens. Everybody was able to move out, but two older women were really almost clipped.”

I love this for MAGA.

timeandagwen.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s not even driving a Tesla.
He must have left it at home after it caught fire.

tryan.bsky.social•3 days ago

He wouldn’t fit in a Tesla.

justkelly.bsky.social•2 days ago

His body isn’t the problem here.

tryan.bsky.social•2 days ago

Everything about him is a problem. These guys think they rule over all, yet they’re shallow, ignorant, hateful, and usually just like their pathetic overlord, completely unaware of how pathetically gross they look.

candylan.org•2 days ago

his obese body is an outward expression of his internal lack of discipline of say taking care of his body or like, you know, not caring about driving into peaceful protestors?

generowzee.bsky.social•2 days ago

Looks like he was arrested. Hope it wasn’t catch-and-release. I would’ve escalated this situation against him & his vehicle, I should probably stay away from protests for awhile.

Here’s more about yesterday’s West Palm Beach peaceful protest. A Trumper, and reportedly a Tesla employee, was arrested for unsuccessfully attempting to drive over Senior Citizens.

Florida won’t be intimidated. We remain strong and are showing up to speak out

jennydee.bsky.social•2 days ago

I see no credible proof to suggest he is a Tesla employee. He could be, but I have seen no proof. When they open this afternoon I’m sure there will be calls to verify.

He's a civil engineer for the Army Corps. He's a former CAV officer. I'd put money on him being a Trumper, but not the other.

“Without intent to kill”

How is that real? He drove a car into a crowd … that’s murderous intent.

Thought driving into protests was legal in Fl

For that matter, I think Florida also has a legal "stand your ground" firearms defense. What if those protesters had been carrying?

What’s the o/u on his German wife getting deported?

petticoatdespot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, she's probably not going to be allowed in.

And he's a veteran who doesn't care about the VA cuts. And he's part of the Army Corps of Engineers, which Trump just EOed into the chopping block in his FEMA-killer order.

Leopards are about to eat his face and he's trying to kill people saving him

vincefil.bsky.social•2 days ago

In 2021 DeSantis pushed through a new law LEGALIZING this act if the driver feels “threatened” by a crowd (or protesters). We knew this day would come in Florida.

Strongly advise protesters in stand your ground states to carry.

oscillation.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am now salivating over the thought of a leftist senior citizen protestor unloading her Glock into the man who tries to run her over. Especially if it were to happen in Florida.

whiskeyneat.bsky.social•2 days ago

You can get a hint of that feeling from this 2022 story where a Florida GOP official rammed a Prius with his car, and the Prius driver shot him dead.

https://www.motorbiscuit.com/florida-gop-official-dies-road-rage-shoot-out-toyota-prius-driver/

eaglesfanintn.bsky.social•2 days ago

That's crazy. Apparently, the dead guy had a previous encounter with someone else at that same intersection and was charged with assault. Found a follow up story that said the guy who "stood his ground" won't be charged. There's video footage of Kuczwanski shooting at the other driver first.

At what point do they start wondering if they're the bad guys?
Is it after they realize they're on the "same side" as a man who made the conscious decision to splatter another human being for exercising the same free speech they did boycotting Bud Light?

Is this enough to wake people up?

the-greetest.bsky.social•2 days ago

Some people want to be the bad guy. Some people don't care if others are hurt badly as long as they get to feel superior. Most of them aren't going to wake up because they think this is the way things ought to be.

They voted for Trump for a reason and it wasn't the price of eggs.

cymphonifantastique.com•2 days ago

Even to the point of hurting themselves?

If that is the case, I wonder what the path to recovery looks like. Or if we can ever truly recover.

Yep. The goal is to be the boot stomping on a face even though they know that as a boot, they're being pushed just as deeply into the shit as the face they're stomping on.

I know all these words separately. It appears there's a very specific situation you are thinking of that is not going around in my head.

jaymarose.bsky.social•2 days ago

The truck had an acceleration pedal that would stick when the glue holding it together failed.

When the rockets explode, they like to use phrases like rapid unplanned disassembly.

Get a cheap flip flop stuck on the accelerator, a rapid disassembly is in your future. 😉
