Video on X: An ANTIFA member just lit off a flare resulting in TPUSA event attendees being rushed inside.

A car then comes and starts backfiring visibly scaring multiple attendees who feared they were hearing gunshots.

Thanks. Upon review I see it. Can you determine what kind of car that is? Older BMW?

Intentionally making sounds they know will sound like gun shots is terrorism.

Cars with engine modifications and no computer tuning for those modifications backfire every time they let off the gas. Hear it every single day multiple times.

Very dangerous. It could cause the crowd to stampede.

Who among us has heard a car backfire in the past 25 years or so?

Old engines used to do it when they got out of tune or had timing problems or overly rich fuel and air mixtures.

Supposedly modern fuel injection and electronics prevent it, I was informed.

Paul Harvey used to advertise an engine additive to use “If your car is too young to smoke.”

Older cars would loudly backfire if you switched the ignition key switch off briefly then back on. Some unburned fuel would travel where it shouldn’t and ignite in the exhaust system, making a LOUD noise.

Valve over-lap from long duration camshafts.

I haven’t heard a car backfire since 1972.

Could they be sonic booms from when space aliens’ ships enter and leave our dimension?

Just askin’.
