NPR: ‘Vehicle Attacks Rise As Extremists Target Protesters’
NPR ^ | June 21 2020 | Hannah Allam

Posted on 06/21/2020 1:34:44 PM PDT by rintintin

Right-wing extremists are turning cars into weapons, with reports of 50 vehicle-ramming incidents since protests against police violence erupted nationwide in late May.

At least 18 are categorized as deliberate attacks; another two dozen are unclear as to motivation or are still under investigation, according to a count released Friday by Ari Weil, a terrorism researcher at the University of Chicago's Chicago Project on Security and Threats. Weil has tracked vehicle-ramming attacks, or VRAs, since protests began.

Why did Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan not defund NPR when the GOP controlled Congress for 2 years?

When you approach, never hesitate for a moment, because they will take it as your willingness to stop. If you come barreling at them at 50 mph from the moment you see them, they WILL get out of the way. If they don’t, they were committing suicide.

The guy in Alamosa CO, a disabled veteran that got shot in the brain by a protester (story ignored by CNN MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, only local news coverage, even FOX ignored it) Was going to get something to Eat, he came to the intersection, stopped, they ignored him, slowly he edged ahead, a protestor shot him through the open passenger side window of his pickup. It is on security camera video, as it was on the Main Street.

Stay miles away from the protesters. If you live within 10 miles of them, pack up and get the heck outta Dodge.

I think you mean “NPR” which is patently unconstitutional along with the entire FCC, if anybody gives a damn anymore.

The photo NPR used of ‘right-wing extremists’ ramming protesters actually resulted in the protesters getting arrested, not the driver

I was in that situation once. I witnessed an act of vandalism and a few minutes later one of the vandals broke my windshield. I followed them while on the phone with the police dispatcher.

Suddenly my car was surrounded by a bunch of young black men. I didn’t do anything because the police were in sight and coming in hot.

The attack stopped as soon as the service weapons came out.

I have the misfortune of living in a state that doesn’t recognize the right to arm yourself, so the “you should have shot them crowd can remain quiet.”

I have no sympathy for criminals and terrorists who are hit by cars while intentionally blocking the movement of traffic - the felony of false imprisonment. Whether these thugs are directly threatening a stranger’s life (often the case as they beat on cars) or merely detaining innocent Americans against their will and thus stealing part of another person’s life, they deserve the results of whatever actions their targets select to effect an escape.

Militant anarchists smashing windows on vehicles, slashing tires, running in front of moving vehicles, carjacking passenger vehicles (some with medical emergencies), hijacking delivery vehicles.

If your dumb ass is on the elevated highway and you get hit you shouldn’t have been playing in the street.

They are throwing hard projectiles at the windshields of vehicles moving at highway speed. They are dropping frozen water bottles off of highway overpasses onto windshields. This crap can kill.

>> And no one wants to sit there while a bunch of protestors beat on your vehicle.

It’s just the prelude for a Reginald Denny style beat down with bricks against the victim’s head.

NO left winger is ever extreme.

Even Bill Ayers is a saint in the eyes of Pubic Broadcasting

Sesame Street pushes pederasty and protesting these days.

Pull the plug. It is a billion dollar franchise.

The public doesn’t need to give them a dime of taxpayer money.

“Right Wing Extremist” is anyone who doesn’t march and riot with the normal folks in BLM and Antifa.
