WESTWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Chaos erupted after a driver allegedly plowed a U-Haul into a crowd during an anti-Iranian regime protest near the federal building in Westwood on Saturday afternoon.
Eyewitness News later learned that the man allegedly drove the U-Haul into the crowd during the planned protest. Cellphone video from the ground shows the moment he drove through, angering the crowd.
The cellphone shows the side of the U-Haul says, "NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON'T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH."

BREAKING LIVE: Truck Plows Into Crowd of Protestors in West Los Angeles
If there are no injuries, he didn’t plow into them.
Arrest the U-Haul.

I get confused. So was the driver of the Uhaul for keeping the current gov’t in power and against a free Iran?
It appears the uhaul was going about 30-40 mph, which is why I’m skeptical there were no injuries, and saying what kabc reported, that police said...
Guess he was trying to MOVE them.
I’m confused a bit, too due to the rally being anti-iranian regime, and the signage on the truck.
He’s MEK. Against both the Mullahs and a Monarchy. See the link above your post.
The real question is, how did he get a U-haul? Californians have taken all of them to Texas and Florida.
RE: Arrest the U-Haul.
Or just punish it by shooting rounds into the windshield. Unoccupied.
Someday: A self-driving vehicle controlled by a distant device or one programmed, can plow into crowds or into glass door buildings. Terrorism.
The wildly imaginative and unlikely fictional plot (/S) on the great tv series The Lone Gunmen (X-Files spinoff) of the episode “Pilot” had a jumbo jet taken over from a device on the ground, to plow into the World Trade Center. Where do they get those ideas?
The actual 9/11 happened later that same year. The producer had an apology precede the re-run a few months after 9/11.

thanks for explaining
Funny seeing some dude run up and whack the perp on the back the head as the cops were cuffing him.
The anti-Mullahs don’t necessarily want the Pahlavis reinstalled. Mosaddegh was the PM of the Republic of Iran before the Shah, the CIA and SIS organized a color revolution to oust him because he wanted to nationalize their oil.
Who do they want to rule Iran?
Who do they want to rule Iran?
There wasn't as many people in the street, as it appeared
They want a return to the pre-Shah parliamentary republic.
ABC7 says they are starting their regular 5pm pst.
