One person is dead, and another is in a critical condition after a driver slammed into spectators at a Pride parade in Florida.

The tragedy occurred 7pm Saturday evening in Wilton Manors, 10 miles north of Fort Lauderdale, just as The Stonewall Pride Parade and Street Festival began.

According to Local 10, a man behind the wheel of a white pick-up truck was lined up with other floats ready for the parade when he hit the gas and plowed into participants.

The pickup driver was wearing Pride clothes. It was nothing other than an accident according to local cops.

Well, seeing Debbie Wasserman Schultz might be traumatizing and cause the guy to spasm, pressing the gas pedal? Or reaction to seeing men kiss each other?

And since he was lined up for the parade, was he a participant? Maybe saw an ex-pervert friend with a new pervert?

I thought he was doing a Toobin and lost control.

Mayor Dean Trantalis told The Sun Sentinel shortly after the incident: 'This was a terrorist attack against the LGBTQ community. He [the driver of the truck] came here to destroy people. This was clearly no accident.'

I read on another article he was an organizer of the parade.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to try and off one of your benefactors. But who said any of these deviants and miscreants have sense, anyway?

White pick-up trucks are racist.

“Narrowly missing” means that she was somewhere near the parade.

It MUST have been an accident if he missed her.

UPDATE: Driver and victims of Pride parade crash were all part of Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus. Chorus president doesn’t believe it was an attack.

Looks like this was a LBGT "family matter", according to the above.
