A vehicle reportedly plowed through a group of demonstrators in Minneapolis Tuesday afternoon during a march and rally in the wake of a Missouri grand jury decision not to indict a white police officer for fatally shooting a black teenager.

A solidarity rally and march for Michael Brown, who was killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, was planned Tuesday near the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd Precinct building at E. Lake Street and Minnehaha Avenue.

A Star Tribune reporter who is at the rally says that witnesses say the vehicle started honking at protesters blocking the intersection before running down a woman around the start of the rally at 4:30 p.m.

A friend of mine hit a mugger with his VW bug. VW bugs are well designed for hitting thugs. The thugs roll up and over the roof. You can see them in your rear view mirror as you drive away.

What is the deal with people blocking and walking down the middle of the streets? Seems like an extremely self-injurious thing to do, and rather unintelligent.

My mom would tell stories of going down to E. Lake Street all by herself for violin lessons when she was 8. She would take the bus and even made a transfer.

Of course that was in 1925.

I know where that is. My son was in the VA hospital there and I stayed at the Fisher House.
