That’s stupid politicians bowing to pressure!

He will be let off

I'll put money on his books.

NOBODY INJURED AND THE CAR PLOWED INTO THE PROTESTERS? I CALL B.S!!!

Wow, dumbass shouldn't have been in the road.

Should be honored.

Has anyone even seen a mugshot of the driver yet?

Really! I would sue the city for having people on a highway where only cars be.

Shouldn't they just call it even b/c of all the Dumbass protesting & CHOP nonsense....... Just think of it as payback.

Bruh

He didn’t see them It was an accident

Hey why don't you run the story of the BLM protesters at a church? Fighting with pastors,walking in the church cussing trying to fight again. A place where blacks and whites come together to worship. Oh maybe it doesn't fit the narrative 🤔

Garbage article, per usual. Majority of column consists of a tweet by the leftist. What, specifically, did the driver do? Where was he intent to kill. Was he intoxicated? Did he even know people were in the roadway?

What is the drivers skin color TMZ. Please let everybody know, because then they know who to be upset with and maybe they'll ask the to stop doing that kind of behavior. Make sense right. STFU!

My heart goes out to all these protesters that put thier lives on the line to stand up and fight for BLM movement. 😔😔❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾 I'm so sorry this protest brought upon so many deaths in the United states from police brutality to racist civilians deliberately killing protesters.❤.

Looks like he didn’t know they were in the road, swerved because of the van parked.

TMZ gets everything 1st BUT where are the pictures of the thug who ran her down?!

Hey kids, don’t play on the freeway!!!! Play stupid games and get stupid prizes

So, by 'vehicular homicide' does that mean he killed the car?

That's insane. If he stopped his vehicle, they would have pulled him out and try to kill him while robbing him. They wouldn't have been arrested and would be praised for standing up for black lives matter. Dems are wanting anyone who doesnt agree w/them to be beat for no reason

If he wasnt drunk or speeding then it cant be homicide

Good job on catching them..

' Abolish slavery and you will have wiped America off the map of nations.” - Karl Marx 😂 Imagine, a Neomarxist black power movement based on the ideas of a Marx, that compared blacks to gorillas. MADNESS.

Oh you forgot to say black man who killed protestor

Not racist driver? why not?

“Without slavery, North America, the most progressive of countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country. Wipe out North America from the map of the world and you will have anarchy— the complete decay of modern commerce and civilization.” - Karl Marx

And if would have been killed... No one would have given a damn. Outside his family.

I thought the protesters want to abolish the police and the court system? Now they want to send a black man to jail?

I hope he is released tomorrow

YEAH BLACK LIVES MATTER that white supremacist who ran a black protester over should go to prison for life, wait what?

Just another case of white women weaponizing their bodies to harm a black man. 🐸🍵

He was a black man btw

Doesn't homicide imply intent? Has it already been established he intended on hitting them? If he had, why did he swerve when there were more people directly in his path to begin with?

And he did it intentionally. Really hope this sticks.

Good

Correct. Next question
