The founder of a pro-Black Lives Matter group called Caravan4Justice was charged on Saturday by law enforcement officials in Southern California for allegedly ramming a car into a crowd of Trump supporters.
At approximately 3 p.m. after several dispersal orders, a vehicle in the parking lot of the Yorba Linda Public Library at 18181 Imperial Highway struck at least two individuals, The Orange County Sheriffs Department said in a statement. The driver, believed to be part of the Caravan for Justice, continued to leave the parking lot and was detained a short distance away from the incident. The two people struck, a man and a woman believed to be at the protest, were transported to a nearby hospital with major injuries but are expected to survive.
The driver, Tatiana Turner, 40, of Long Beach, was arrested, the department added. She will be booked into the Orange County Jail for attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and the investigation is ongoing.

The Daily Mail identified Turner as a Black Lives Matter organizer, adding:
The chaos unfolded as about 250 people gathered, some with a group called Caravan4Justice supporting Black Lives Matter, and others to stage a nearby counter-protest supporting President Donald Trump.
Federal records show that Turner filed a trademark application for Caravan4Justice in July, and a GoFundMe campaign names her as the groups founder.
Police confirmed that Turner is believed to be a member of the Caravan4Justice.

Bump for reference.
So she’s not just some fringe nut but is the founder of a group and a recognized BLM organizer. The fact that a leader has committed this kind of violence makes this story even more important.
Charmingly Militant.
When I see it on ABC NEWS I’ll believe it happened. Until then....../s
