No one injured; vehicle attack draws nationwide response

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Police are looking for an older brown Chevrolet van the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said drove through a tent in a Walmart parking lot Saturday where Republican volunteers were registering people to vote.

According to Lt. Larry Gayle, the vehicle attack happened about 3:50 p.m. at Atlantic and Kernan boulevards where members of the Republican Party were in the tent registering voters. The driver of the van pulled up, drove through the tent and struck their table.

“It happened so quickly,” said Nina Williams, a volunteer. “I just barely got out of the way.”

Gayle said at some point after, the man stopped, took a video and “flipped off” the people who were inside the tent before driving off.

No injuries were reported. One of the volunteers provided photos of the van driving away.

“We don’t know if this is politically motivated,” Gayle said. “We’ve got detectives coming out. We’re following up on information and trying to determine if we can identify this person right now.”

While police weren’t ready to make that connection, the vehicular attack was quickly condemned as a political attack by both Republican and Democratic leaders in Jacksonville, Florida’s two U.S. Senators and even President Donald Trump.

Law Enforcement has been notified. Be careful tough guys who you play with! https://t.co/1Pq0hOrzy2 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 9, 2020

Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scot both calling the attack “politically motivated," with Rubio, “Thanking Go that no one was injured.” Scott echoed that in his tweet, adding, " @DuvalGOP will not be silenced or intimidated. They will redouble their efforts to support strong Republicans in NE Florida and around the state!"

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry’s tweet emphasizing that while thankfully no one was hurt, “the hate is toxic and dangerous.”

Sadly, this happened. I spoke to the GOP chair. This is outrageous. The hate is toxic and dangerous. Thankfully no one was injured but certainly they are shaken after being targeted because they were registering voters. I’ve spoken to the Sheriff & of course his team is on this https://t.co/dRENZi0Bxq — Lenny Curry (@lennycurry) February 8, 2020

The Duval County Executive Committee condemned, “this cowardly act of violence. No one’s life should be placed in danger for exercising their first amendment rights,” @DuvalDEC tweeted. “We look forward to @JSOPIO’s arrest of the perpetrator.”

Gayle said investigators are monitoring social media to see if the video shows up.

Anyone with information was asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500.

The FBI would already be on this with both feet if it was a demonrat tent. Wray would have already been on TV calling it domestic white nationalist terror.

Remember Charlottesville?

It can't be politically motivated. It's ok to run down "Nazi's" and the deplorable /s

Even if they can’t make out the plate number then the picture definitely gives them the exact model make and year. There can’t be many of those left. DMV can come up with a list. The photo will also contain incidentals that will identify a match with the few vans like this that are left when they are checked out and inspected. It is only a matter of time before they find that van.

The left is getting more vicious and nasty, taking their signal from that rip, Nancy Pelosi.

She has given them the green light to shred Patriots everywhere.

Indeed, Be On Your Guard!

Walmart parking lots have camera's all over them. On top of the building facing the parking lot, and on top of the light polls facing in all directions. They can ask Walmart for their security footage, and get some more evidence there also.
