'There are groups that do want people to take their cars and drive them into Black Lives Matters protesters so that they won’t protest anymore ... I look at it as an anti-protester group of acts, some of which are white supremacists, some not.'

causing minor injuries, according to Visalia police. Witnesses said those inside the car mocked protesters by cupping their ears as if they couldn't hear their chants. The protesters started chanting profanities and throwing items before they approached the Jeep, which accelerated, hitting the protesters before driving off., saying the protesters involved weren't"seriously injured" and the driver and his passengers felt threatened.

"This has become something of a meme in white supremacy circles. There’ll be a picture of a car driving into a crowd, and then there will be a humorous remark about it. It’s definitely part of the discourse," said Daniel Byman, a senior fellow at Brookings who researches counterterrorism and Middle East security."They’re doing a lot of kidding-not-kidding sort of humor ... which is the modern white supremacist world.

he's seen a meme shared by the Charlottesville killer circulating in white supremacist circles. Right-wing extremists turned the man into"a bit of a saint" after the killing, MacNab said.

'Witnesses, law enforcement and terrorism experts said some...incidents appear to be targeted and politically motivated; others...situations in which the driver became frightened or enraged by protesters surrounding their vehicle.' Vast majority simply people trying to get away.

It amazes me, well actually it doesn't, that you focus on the small % of people doing this purposely rather than those who feared for their life due to rioter/protesters beating or trying to remove drivers.

Of course the pic they use is totally out of context...I'd expect nothing less

Get out the streets....problem solved

ANTIFA/RIOTS/ARSONISTS/LOOTERS/TRAITORS/PROTESTERS/CROOKS HAS CAUSED MORE THAN 7 million (FBI) NEW GUN OWNERS, over 15 TIMES MORE THAN ALL PROTESTERS IN 2020. WE ARE THE Police NOW? Nobody wants gun control now!! TRUMP HAS WON THE ELECTION!

Any driver who “plows” their vehicle into BLM protestors almost certainly endorses police brutality against people of color ... not directly perhaps, but certainly by silent complicity of OK’ing plowing into protestors with their vehicles. This article = US media’s failure.

I think most are motivated by the fact that if they stop for any length of time,they will be pulled from their cars and have the living crap beat out of them.

I'm not here to talk shit about the madness of the cops. I'm here for Bitcoin investment

A lot seem pretty deliberate. Right-wing media of course paints the picture of scared motorists besieged by 'urban' people.

Wonder what some of these “Drivers” were thinking!? *photo of cop hitting protester*

It’s not that hard to figure out team. The drivers are racists (Police and private citizens) and they are trying to kill and or harm protestors fight for Black Lives Matter. I’m pretty sure anyone with a brain and working eyeballs can come to this conclusion.

So bored with all of this division. I’m gonna just do me and all you goofs can fight over the color of your skin. I’ll keep treating people how I always have, before you got a merit badge for being decent to others.

Stop the nonsense. Protesters need not block roads as that is against most state laws.

In Portland, if you don't drive through them, they might pull you out of your car and beat you... Some are driving over people out of fear, not anger

Don't attack the car or surround it to the point where a mother, father or grandparent with their children feels they'd be safer running over you rather than being stuck in the middle.

Click bait GARBAGE

Sounds Death knell for diversity.

As a human being, you have the right to defend yourself and others against actsofviolence byanymeansnecessary.

Which of them are white supremacists? What facts do you have or is this pure conjecture on your part? These are people caught up in a scary situation who are fearful and do not want to be hurt or get their car destroyed just by driving on the street.

DM now and get spoiled with money

The way monsters in these comments are justifying running over human beings....

Most of us are sick of both sides. Get to hell off the street and go vote.

USA today you don't deserve those USA call letters Non AMERICAN journalism,one sided leftist FAKE NEWS as our GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP says ha ha jokes on you.

😂😂😂

If you attack a persons car- run those mother effers over. Pretty simple.

You all keep screaming white supremacist and guess what it will happen,you best cover that shit of racist black supremacie aww but you don't think the blacks are terrorizing white people everyday trying to make them say blm matters,oh no don't talk about that f*ckin sh*t huh?

A BLM protester just got arrested for running over trump supporters................

I guess enough is enough

Since the Democrat run cities won’t punish the rioters who are destroying cities, it’s no wonder citizens are getting involved.

TrumpTerrorists

Groups of violent racist mobs swarm vehicles which have a legal right to drive in PUBLIC STREETS and you call them fleeing to avoid being pulled out and beaten to death 'white supremacy'. You lying snakes are the problem.

'I would be very careful in the middle of the street.' Another genius social commentator/researcher.

Oh well

Whst are they protesting? That’s the question.

And the moral of the story : Streets are for vehicles - Sidewalks are for pedestrians.

Blocking freeways is violence. Protesters have attacked and beaten several people in these blockades ! Do not stop - stay in motion or possibly lose your life, or your kids in the backseat — very dangerous!!!!!

Most of America is watching this crap like it’s an episode of Cops or reality TV. Regular people want to grow wealth for retirement, take care of their family, enjoy moments together before some nut shows up which is why gun sales/training is a new family activity. Debate Party!

These RIOTERS are dangerous!!! How dare you call them protesters?! Report FACTS NOT YOUR TYPICAL FICTIONAL SCENARIO!

Lazy “journalism”, don’t click that divisionist trash

Don’t block traffic. Simple as that.

Some so-called protestors, including those who threaten and trap drivers, are actually criminals, felons, and terrorists because of their actions.

If there was only some solution to keep protesters out of traffic?

This journalist & person she quoted probably doesn’t drive & relies on public trans. 🙄

Don't play in traffic. Amazing how the obvious escapes some people.

Not according to the videos. Every single time a car ran through a BLM protest it's because protesters blocked the road, surrounded and jumped on the car. The only recent person to drive through a crowd on purpose was the BLM activist that hit Trump supporters in a parking lot.
