are treating attack as hate crime
Police call evidence for hate crime appalling and disturbing
SUNNYVALE A driver who used his car to intentionally run down pedestrians earlier this week apparently was targeting a family he thought was Muslim, police said Friday, at a news conference held shortly after the suspect in the attack was arraigned in court.
Police are now treating the crash as a hate crime. They said they believe the driver, Isaiah Joel Peoples, targeted the family, believed to be South Asian, purely based on their appearance. Three family members the father, a 13-year-old daughter and her 9-year-old brother were among the eight people injured in the crash. The daughter was the most severely hurt. She is in a coma and fighting for her life, police said.
New evidence shows that the defendant intentionally targeted the victims based on their race, and his belief that they were of the Muslim faith, Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Chief Phan Ngo said. He declined to say whether Peoples, 34, had followed the family or whether his attack was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Jay Boyarsky said there was very appalling and disturbing evidence that the family had been targeted based on religion.
Ngo said of the injured 13-year-old girl, who in an investigative summary submitted to the court was identified only by her first name, Dhriti, Our hearts are with her and her loved ones as we pray for her recovery.

UH, OH!What's wrong with this picture?
BTW, if he's convicted would Breadlines Bernie be OK with him voting from prison? Asking for, well...you know..
Local paper.
This won’t get national play.
Black America needs to wake up and smell just exactly where they are on the Liberals Victim Hierarchy Chart, because I think Muslims and Latinos are moving ahead of them.
She unfriends you!!
He’s a stupid, racist idiot who should never drive anything again. He is now guilty of acting like ISIS or the Taliban.
Lock him up, for ruining all those innocent lives.
Americans are supposed to be better than that.
Anything from the Commie Prog Mercury News is a:
Gays are already starting to figure out that they’re almost all white men and thus targets for “progressive” violence.
Blacks are next off the stack, because they have too many American traits and too few foreign ones. They’re just not exotic enough for the multicult anymore, not when you have have “transwomen” and half-Jamaican half-Brahmin candidates for President.
I live in San Jose and the only thing this newspaper is good for is ass paper. The Mercury news is always good for anti police articles. Don’t believe a thing this paper has to say.
False flag, agree.
We don’t know if he identifies as black.
This man is mentally ill. Is it possible the Sri Lanka bombings set him off?

From that website:
>>>>>> The brother said that the suspect previously served in Afghanistan and suffers from PTSD. The brother added that Peoples spent a year in a mental hospital and was taking medication. <<<<<<
>>>>>>> Another witness [said] . . . He kept repeating, mumbling over and over again, Jesus, I love you. He seemed to be dazed. At this point, I walked back from where the car was, toward the intersection and dialed 911. I was so nervous and upset, I was having trouble dialing. Draper then reiterated that he heard the driver say, Jesus, I love you. <<<<<<<<
Half-Brahmin? As in, she's half cow? (I thought brahmin was a cow breed.)
He sounds like a mental case.
Nope nope nope! He is most likely a muslim who targeted other muslims to gain sympathy for the ROP and blame it on an American. The media is appalled . Where was the media disgust when Americans were beheaded at the the business out there BY a muslim? Oh yeah. There was no media outrage. The media will always hide the truth when it goes against their peaceful Muslim narrative. Always.

Don’t forget the LGBTQ.
Actually, I think they may be at the top of the food chain. Number 1 or 2, depending on the situation.
It refers to the Hindu caste, but close enough.
