What does the headline have to do with Germany's protests?

Great job social media team. Can’t even get your captions right. This is like the fourth time in 18 hours. Be better Jesus Christ. It’s your ONE job. Embarrassing

Why has he not been formally identified yet?

Not saying this isn’t news or anything but I didn’t see this press coverage over the car that plowed into a police and national guards lines hurting at least 8 and killing 2

Guessing he was not with Antifa.

Good shooting

1. He stopped well short of the crowd after the crowd threw stuff at his car. 2. He shot a guy who was trying to assault him while he was still in his car. Self defense. 3. He turned himself in to the police.

bloody hell..

Maybe he got caught in a dangerous place and needed to escape from violent rioters. Was the 27 year old one of his attackers?

Self Defence.

“Protestors refuse to yield to motor vehicle traffic, attack man and subsequently get shot.” - How about that headline? It may just be a matter of prospective.

Thank you AHOTUS

Where's the article? The article is about France.

Well, maybe get out of the way go home and actually do something useful with your life.

Looks like self defense.

When you see a crowd of angry protesters, you don't drive into them unless you have ulterior motives.

Drove into a crowd is nt that a form of terrorism ?

Kiiiiiil?

'A terrorist drove into a crowd of protesters in Seattle...' Fixed it

Did this guy reach into the car before or after?

Looks like he's being attacked.

I hope no illegals were injured

Classy. I dig it though.

This is a domestic terrorist attach!

Was being violently pulled out of the car and shot in self defense. Immediately turned himself in. Probably shouldn't have accelerated at protesters, but that guy probably shouldn't be yanking people out of their car.

Black Lives Matter because ALL Lives Matter. WE must have Mutual Respect for one another in order to move forward. Let it not just be words.

Self Defense.

Who arrested him? The police they want to disband? Have you asked the protesters who is it that would arrest this man in the future if they go what they wanted? I saw them scatter when he pulled the gun, so it won’t be them..

None of the violence is justified. Yet the media continue to justify it. Blood on the hands of AP et al

TomiLahren are these the violent protestors you are talking about

We must stop this kind of atrocity on US soil! We must stop this kind of killing on US soil! We must stop this kind of murders on US soil! We must stop this domestic terrorism on US soil! We must stop Trump using military against civilians in US and the world!

-Abolish the Police -Defund the Military -Open the Borders -$100,000 reparations for every African-American -Total Ban all fossil fuels -Green new deal -$2000/mo & free college for every innercity black resident VOTE DEMOCRAT entire ballot in NOV... Chase Nazis out of town!

Roads are for cars. Change my mind

Finally some good news

MD4Trump2020 This guy was larping hard and he fooled half a planet with his fake blood vampire stunt. He even kept his feet crossed, just to sit more comfortably on the ground. He is a crisis actor, a poor one Read the banned 5G article here: Share and follow

JEANNEinWa FactCheck: Probable self-defense, here's the evidence thread:

Were they in the road?

I fall asleep for 6 hours and I miss it?

seems to me like the shooter was a cop, he was welcomed by cops with open arms

You can never have too many vehicle barriers on streets. An eyesore is worth the safety of pedestrians.

Just saw the video

When the White House was asked to comment, they said 'We have to wait for the facts. There are fine people on both sides'

And then ran to the cops for protection.
