The driver was drunk, and had a suspended license. He was one of your fellow lefty's as well. Congrats, you all wanted a pass for criminals, right? Nothing political, just a drunk driver that hit people standing in the damn street. But hey, never let a chance to riot pass, huh?

Stay off the streets

If we're ok with running over protestors can I mow down the trash outside of Planned Parenthood?

They should charge him with 100+ counts of attempted vehicular assault in addition to vehicular assault and murder. If one of these guys get 300 years in prison, maybe it’ll be a deterrent.

Proud delinquents at it again, we see.

Absolutely horrific. Anyone who justifies this or adds a “but…” to this needs to check their morals.

I hate hate. It's not nearly as complicated as it sounds.

Surprised no information on suspect

Premeditated Vehicular Homicide is the new lynching.

Article doesn’t mention the fact that the driver of the car busted through a barricade. This cannot be downgraded to an accident.

I hate what this country has become.

Protesters are on sidewalks, speed bumps are in the road.

Were they in the street or on the sidewalk? Pedestrians=sidewalk, cars=cars… it’s really pretty simple folks.

Terrible. Looks like someone thought he had the privilege of driving into people exercising their constitutional right.

Why would anyone protest the shooting of this convicted felon? Look at his police record. Not to mention his propensity & history of carrying a concealed weapon. Get real folks.Why will you not admit that indeed there are true criminals in our society that disobey the law

Recently enacted laws in Florida and other states, would clear the driver of any criminal liability.

Horrific.

NPR is the real racist!

That'll teach them not to play in the street.

Pro life people are dangerously violent

Tf is wrong w America

In Oklahoma and at least one other red state, the driver of the car could go free by saying “Oops.”

Stay out of the street!

Well you would like to believe the police account of the shooting but unfortunately there are documented occurrences that they lie. Note Though recently updated U.S. Marshals Services prohibited the local law enforcement authorities who assisted from using body or squad cameras.

I think it time for protestors ' to stand their ground' against facist drivers.

terrorist ?

Another terrorist attack. I wish they would treat it as seriously as they do darker skinned terrorists

Based.

How did he only kill one?🤬

Headline makes no mention of the fact that Boogie shot at the Marshals first and they returned fire. Just another example of the media trying to stoke racial divisions.

Charlottesville set the precedent for vehicular homicide.

This is who Republicans and the former blogger encourage and embolden: homicidal psychopaths who feel entitled to do harm to anyone who exercises their rights in a manner they don’t approve. This is what fascists did in the 30’s to their own countrymen. GQPBlackshirts

Amazing... Pedestrians have the right of way, unless they're protesting. Pretty soon, the only 1A freedom we'll have left is the freedom to choose which Christian denomination we want to suffer under.

Assuming it’s another violent right wing extremist.

Ah yes, the best commandment of them all: “Thou shall not kill, unless they are blocking the road.”

MPD caused the death by stopping medics. The police also had blocked access for the ambulance according to witnesses.

The protesters gotta have large Snow Plows now. This is war.

The driver was probably a cop!

But it’s legal to do that now. See how this works?

Is Minnesota one of the states that made it legal to kill protesters with a motor vehicle? I can't remember.

Republicans have declared Civil War without actually declaring it.

Calm down everybody, we don't know anything about the driver, it may have been DD

wow

'One person is dead after a domestic terrorist plowed into a crowd of demonstrators in Minneapolis last night.' Fixed it for you.

Not that it excuses the actions of the driver but were those that were hit standing in/blocking the street?

String these bastards up

Is this one of the states with laws that make murdering protesters with your car legal?

In states that have recently passed anti-protest laws this kind of action is now defensible

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesDrinking is glorified in our society I have to say, I stayed home the entire Covid stay-at-home order, and beyond. Almost 15 months alone at home. It never occurred to me to drink alcohol while I was lone. It seemed seedy, somehow. Not a drop. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Is this good, bad or just a reflection of generalized depression?
