Florida man who drove van into GOP tent didn’t like Trump, says ‘someone had to take a stand’

A Florida man who rammed his van into a Republican Party voter registration tent on Saturday told deputies he did not like President Trump and “someone had to take a stand,” an arrest report said.

Gregory Timm, 27, said he noticed the tent set up in a Walmart parking lot in Jacksonville when he went to buy food and cigarettes, according to a less-redacted version of the report released Tuesday. He said he drove to the tent after leaving the store.(snip)

He told deputies that he “does not like President Trump” and “the other reason was because ‘it’s like someone s******* on your grave,’” the account said.

The six volunteers working in the tent escaped without injury when the van accelerated through it, knocking over tables and chairs. Timm then exited the van, took out his phone and “flipped them off” before driving away, the victims told deputies.

Timm willingly showed deputies video of him speaking to volunteers prior to the incident, and another that abruptly ends before the van strikes the tent, according to the report. Deputies described Timm as “upset” that the video ended before what he called “the good part.”

The Republican Party of Duval County released the less-redacted report on social media, calling on the national media to stop hiding and cover this story with honesty and integrity.

“It is high time that the national media begin to act responsibly in this case and call this deranged criminal’s attack what has been clear: An obvious assault motivated by blind rage toward President Trump,” (snip)

Timm has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a person 65 years old or older, one count of criminal mischief and driving with a suspended license. The arrest report said no drugs or alcohol were involved.

...says ‘someone had to take a stand’


I’m concerned a lot of “man in the street” Trump haters are going to take that stand after election day. And maybe before if the writing is on the wall for all to see.

Bodies in the streets. About the only way this type of nonsense gets addressed. The future seems to be one of either capitulate to the progressive movement, or engage in a real civil war. Sadly, I think we’ve become too complacent to where the former is the more likely scenario.

Making a stand by driving your car into a bunch of innocent people. I wish someone had emptied a clip into this punk while he was making his stand.

Not that so much as most of us who are not complacent are on the high side of 50. The Left just has to sit back and watch Father Time pick us off one-by-one.

Why was this punk not charged with attempted murder? That was obviously his intent.

Taking a stand is one thing, trying to do bodily harm to others is another...and one that needs to be prosecuted to the fullest. Not sure he’s the sharpest knife in the drawer.

terrorist attack:

A surprise attack involving the deliberate use of violence against civilians in the hope of attaining political or religious aims.

That damned sure was not the definition when the military dealt with terrorism instead of lawyers.

These roundtables on MSNBC and CNN where everyone is screaming, “WE must stop Trump!” are playing with these snowflake’s minds.

It is extra chilling that the jerk would attempt to run over people he had just met and talked with. His political anger and his violent behavior arise from a sociopathic lack of empathy for others. If not locked up, he will offend again.

Liberals are teaching hatred of the unbeliever of social justice, just as Islam teaches hatred of the infidel. Train people to hate and fear the unbeliever so you won’t listen to them and can readily threaten them with violence to defend the true faith.
