Hear hear. I want to know the truth about what happened: who were the original demonstrators, how many of them were there, what were they actually protesting, and did they break any laws, such as obstructing traffic, attacking people, or damaging property. Then I want the same questions answered about the "counterprotestors." I also want to know if any organizations were providing financial or logistical support to either side. THEN I'll make my judgments.
I can already formulate a multiple choice answer to the question of how I feel about this:
******************************************
SCENARIO 1: The person driving the car was being pelted by rocks, bricks, bottles, and other objects, and was panicked.
MY STANCE:I don’t blame him, he was probably thinking of the Rodney King episode, and realized if he stopped, he could be dragged out of the car, hit on the head with a cinderblock, if not stomped to death.
CHARGES IF IT GOES TO TRIAL: Best case: Not guilty. Worst case: Unintentional manslaughter, suspended sentence.
******************************************
SCENARIO 2: The person driving the car was a nazi sympathizer or white racist and took those people out intentionally
MY STANCE: Prosecute the driver to the fullest extent of the law. This is the result of eight years of racial agitation from the White House down over the past eight years. This is what Obama and his ilk intended. They lost in this case, taking a “knife to a gun fight” (pedestrian to a car fight) but that doesn’t make this a good thing. They simply got what they were agitating for.
CHARGES IF IT GOES TO TRIAL: Best case: Murder, death by execution. Worst case: 30 years to Life.
******************************************
SCENARIO 3: The person driving the car was a liberal or other racist seeking to poke an open wound and exacerbate racial tensions because, in the end, it will be a good thing for the country. (right now, this is one of my primary scenarios.)
