One person was killed and another injured Sunday night after being struck by a car in the Uptown area of Minneapolis during a protest, near the site where Winston Smith was shot by sheriff’s deputies earlier this month.
A witness said the eastbound SUV was moving at a high rate of speed as it approached just before midnight, and that the driver appeared to accelerate as they got closer to demonstrators who had blocked off Lake Street near Girard Avenue.
The driver struck a vehicle parked across one of the traffic lanes on Lake Street, apparently positioned to protect the crowd. That second vehicle then hit people.
*potentially disturbing* Moments after the crash occurred and the driver is being choked out on the ground by ‘demonstrators’.

Additional video from the scene in Uptown:
This appears to be the driver, who was detained by people at the scene. He seemed to be yelling “I’ll take my life.”

The driver was also taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for his own injuries. Police have not yet released the suspect’s identity or if he currently faces any charges.
The female victim’s identity will eventually be released by a medical examiner.
D.J. Hooker is an organizer with Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar and said people in the street had been playing volleyball and yard games when the crash happened later in the evening.
“A car came at us going like 70 or 80 miles an hour,” Hooker said in an interview. “There was one line of barriers and then a second barrier, and he sped up. He sped up. He went even faster as he approached us. You could hear it … start going even faster as he got close to us.”
Witnesses said the SUV hit the stationary vehicle hard enough to send it moving toward bystanders in the street.
“The car went through the air and it hit a young woman,” Hooker said.
This is a developing story. The USA Supreme will provide more details as they become available.
Yes, if you are standing in a road and don’t step aside from an incoming car — you are dumb. If driving such, I sure as ‘Ell wouldn’t slow down. I don’t trust a mob. That puts me in fear of my life. These Aholes have murdered tens of others in their riots. So, get out of my way or I’m gonna take a bunch with me. I won’t target any, but I won’t stop.
Burning Looting Mobs are being allowed to close streets at whim.
Do not go into cities.
It’s as simple as that. The cities who permit this behavior clearly do not want your tax dollars - they know they’ll get a Federal bailout as a reward for their wokeness. So just get away and stay way.

What is the problem here, it was a mostly peaceful Sunday drive?
Be very careful using WAZE when driving through a city that has some high crime neighborhoods. WAZE takes you where there is the least traffic. This could be a street of abandoned buildings with apparent drug users lounging about.
Just download ir (right click /save as ) and either print or paste into a word doc and print.
No parade permit; no protest. Pedestrians blocking traffic is a riot, not a ‘protest’ playing ‘volleyball’.
Couldn't breathe?
More supporting arguments/evidence for need for civilians to own high capacity magazines and short barrel rifles.
I once mused that GPS should have an “avoid ghettos” feature similar to “avoid tolls” or “fastest route”. I looked into it and it turns out that Microsoft actually beat me to the punch with a patent to look at crime states and avoid areas with high ones. Of course they probably just patented it to make sure nobody ever used it, it’s certainly not in any of their tools.
One dead? Well it’s a start.

Wasn’t that the name of a detective show awhile back?
With Somalis as police there, I doubt anything will be done.
Exactly
This is also why one always needs to CCW. The mob will attack you.
Thanks for that. :)
Such much for racist afrocentrists’ mindset, that blacks are “The sun people” and are incapable of such evil....
