“ pointed a handgun at (the) driver and shot one round through the window,”

Happening all over the country, sure sounds like someone is paying a bounty for the shooting of American citizens. Call the NYT tip line.

Soulless eyes.

Cellphone video recorded by witnesses shows the SUV appearing to push through the protesters, with at least one person falling to the ground.

Am I bad for saying "Sorry it was only one?"

I remember seeing something about him fighting with the communist Kurds in Syria.
Wonder if that was true.

The Antifa and BLM would appear to be the paramilitary wing of the Democratic party - their Spartacists.

You gotta wonder if the GOP has the balls to gin up a Freikorps in opposition:

Since they are going to be shooting at cars....cars will be driving faster.
This could get "interesting."

Provo Police statement reads:

Numerous citizens provided video footage. A white SUV was driving South on University Avenue before pulling into the right turn lane in an attempt to turn onto Center Street. Several protestors began crowding around the vehicle. A male protestor ran to the SUV on the passenger side, pointed a handgun at driver and shot one round through the window.

The driver, who was struck by the bullet, hit the gas trying to leave the situation. The same protestor ran after the vehicle and shot a second round that went through the rear passenger window. The video then shows that the protestor conceals the firearm and continues to protest. This same protestor later approached another vehicle at 500 North and University Avenue striking and breaking the window with the handgun.

Just imagine the hysteria if a Trumpist had shot a rioter in self defense.

These are not “largely peaceful” protests but subversive and violent, seditious insurrections.

......”imagine the hysteria if a Trumpist had shot a rioter in self defense”.......

We’re already seeing that just with the Attorney couple who only had their guns out pointing at rioters in order to protect their property from the mob.

I've played this over in my mind.
The problem is that you are focused on the people in front and at your window. Not the passenger window. I'll bet that the driver never even saw the shooter let alone be able to respond with return fire. Your inputs are saturated.
Your best bet is to:
1. Never drive into a protest.
2. Never stop moving if you failed at No. 1.
3. Keep your head on a swivel.
4. Remember you are at the wheel of a deadly weapon. Use it if you need to.

These people have shown they can and will be violent and destructive......they are not ignorant of those within their groups who are violent and therefore accessories to what’s happening.

The best thing blacks couldd do, who are peaceful protestors, is go home and lets see who’s left standing.....those will be the enemies of us all.

I had a detailed dream the other night. A couple of those Soros sponsored buses drove into a peaceful town like this.

However, the locals were altered, surrounded the busses and had everyone file off with their hands up.

The token handful of black folks were permitted to get back on and wait, while the rest of the trash were relieved of all their valuables and cell phones. These were bagged up minus the ID and tossed aboard the bus with the black folks, who were invited to divide it up as they saw fit. The bus was then ordered to drive back from whence they came.

The crowd was then told that was their part of the restitution for being born the wrong color. Now the town was going to collect the rest of the social justice.

But first, they needed to smash up the bus with the pipes their Soros sponsors had so thoughtfully provided. Once windows, doors and sides were sufficiently smashed in, they could use their surplus energy on the fixtures and upholstery, excepting the driver's seat and window because he needed to get them home safely.

That deed accomplished, they were invited to lay down their pipes. Oh, and sorry, no selfies because their cell phones departed on the other bus.

Next, every thug hire is forced to strip down. Females get to keep their underwear; males absolutely nothing; trannies get their choice. The better stuff goes in one pile to donate to the local homeless population. Everything else goes into another pile to set afire and keep them warm as they file aboard their smashed up bus for the trip back.

They could contemplate the social justice they just performed on the trip home. Anyone who objects to this treatment gets branded with a cattle iron and told they won't get better treatment if they should ever come near that town again.

The locals not participating come out from their hiding places and applauds as the battered up bus drives away with its cargo of human garbage. Then I awaken.
