NPR: Vehicle Attacks Rise As Extremists Target Protesters
"Editor's note: A previous version of this story included a photo of a protester being struck by a car in Louisville, Kentucky. The photo, chosen by editors, does not appear to be an example of the assaults described in the story, and has been replaced. Police have not charged the driver, but have charged two of the protesters involved in that incident. Authorities continue to investigate."
This is what actually happened:
Driver that hit protester tells police she 'feared for her life'
"Louisville Metro police said no charges have been filed against the driver of a car that hit a protester in downtown Louisville Wednesday morning after she was identified.
"Multiple videos captured the 46-year-old woman hit a protester with her car and driving off after several people attempted to stop her from continuing on Liberty Street.
A video provided to WHAS11 shows protesters telling a different car to turn around before her car approaches the intersection. Protesters then tell her to turn around, however her car does not move.
Three protesters can be seen gathering at the driver's window, though it is not clear what was said. In an arrest citation, the woman said they reached into her car, scratched her window and assaulted her, pulling out a dreadlock. The video shows the driver back up her car as the altercation takes place.
According to the arrest citation, the driver said she saw one person with a gun and drove forward, stating that "she was in fear for her life."

Remember that phrase: “In fear of your life” and then let your lawyer answer any other queries.
It’s sad that taxpayer dollars go to fund America’s version of Goebbels’ propaganda machine.
They are still looking for that violent right extremist.
>> the woman said they reached into her car, scratched her window and assaulted her, pulling out a dreadlock.
Did the driver look like Bo Derek or was she black?
