Claiming the opposite based solely on publicized evidence is just as astounding.

And you’ve decided that his mind was set on killing people!

Talk about “mind reading/mental gymnastics”! Hypocrite much?!?

It doesn’t matter. He will be tried for capital murder and convicted.

Facts stopped mattering a long time ago.

I bet if Reginald Denny had to do it all over again, he’d go pedal-to-the-metal on his truck and high-tail it out of that BLEEPhole instead of suffering the fate he did.

He was accelerating before the guy hit his car. I do wonder if there was an attack prior to that that caused him to accelerate.

Why? Why do you wonder that? There's certainly no indication in the full video that there is a large crowd around his car after he's already accelerated to an unsafe speed at the start of the full video. There's simply no reason to believe he could have felt his life was in danger before accelerating. He purposely went down a crowded street when he had an opportunity to turn before it.

You and everyone else (so that question is not just for you) must ask yourselves that question (why believe he was attacked before the video) in an honest search for the truth about this situation. Remembering always sometimes the truth is not what we want to hear (or know).

Could be a case of “whiskey throttle”.

Better to be tried by a jury of 12 than carried by 6 or pushed around in a wheelchair for the next 40 years by 1.

Three (3) cars driving through the mob and at least two (2) of the cars hitting people doesn't fit with the "lone terrorist" story.

Either it's a conspiracy, with 2 or 3 (or more) terrorists, or the drivers were in fear of their lives.

The brakes are touched quite a bit before entering the crowd. Had braking been maintained no one would have been run over.

Coming to a full stop in the middle of a riot/mob is one of the stupidest things you can do. It's the best way to get yourself/passengers killed or seriously hurt.

Surviving Mob Attacks on Your Vehicle | Active Response Training - The safest thing to do in a situation like this is to keep moving, bumping people out of the way with your car.

What Should You Do If Protestors Surround Your Car? | USCCA - If you cannot turn around or go around the group, driving your car slowly through a group of protestors may be seen as a reasonable use of force.

Tips For Driving Through Protests, Mobs & Riots | theexpiredmeter.com - No matter what you do, keep your vehicle in motion at all times. Once your vehicle is stopped the threat to you and your passengers increases dramatically. .... If someone tries to stop your vehicle by standing in front of it–do NOT stop. Slow down, but do not stop.

>>This video will be very persuasive evidence for him. It shows the so called peaceful protestors violently chasing a car across three blocks and almost causing two accidents.

Yep.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzhqO3iYlxk&feature=youtu.be&t=6595

Who provoked the confrontation - the geniuses blocking the street or the folks who were trying to drive away?

Seems the provocative/self-loathing caucasian rainbow flag waivers out number the minorities. 

No wonder the BLM crowd doesn't want their caucasian  "support" in BLM's "safe spaces".

Wonder how many of them are from out of state and have been on the payroll since before the DC inauguration riots?

Maybe he saw the stopped vehicles in front of him and realized he couldn’t continue plowing through the crowd of people.

I could speculate as to any number of reasons, each as irrelevant as the question.

There are surely numerous videos and still photos taken in that town on Saturday.First they must be certified as not having been altered (hell,even *I* know how to use Microsoft Paint).Once that's done it should be easy to determine things like who was involved? What kind of t-shirts were they wearing? What,if anything,were they carrying? (flowers,baseball bats,firearms).Apart from the incident with the car what attacks,if any,were carried out and by whom?

The white car and red minivan were pushed into the intersection by the ram-car.

Define terrorism? lol...That's cute.

But since I didn't make the term up, I'll tell you what the dictionary says if that's okay with you. That way you can argue with the dictionary!☺

_____________________________________________

"Type of: act of terrorism, terrorism, terrorist act. the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear. coup de main, surprise attack."

_____________________________________________

Btw, my question to Joe was legitimate, simple and it went unanswered. Then you decided to become involved. So I'll ask you the same. And I've already stated what my opinion was several times earlier.☺ Fair right?

So once again, do you feel this was a terrorist attack?

If not, what do you consider it to be, based on everything we know at this point?

Once again, I feel It's very possible the driver was scared and was attempting to save himself from armed crowds. I could be wrong, but we'll see.

What's your take?

This video will be very persuasive evidence for him. It shows the so called peaceful protestors violently chasing a car across three blocks and almost causing two accidents. Paradigm shifting video if you’ve not seen it.1:49 mark.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzhqO3iYlxk&feature=youtu.be&t=6595

___________________________________________

Btw, other video also exists of antifa, BLM types cornering people in parking lots who were attempting to flee, pinning them literally up against their cars by violent crowds.

So a terrorist bent on max damage would brake and slow down just before the big kill?

Follow the shading on the roof line you will see that it is crooked, the roof has been dented when this photo was taken. I would say antifa had already gone to town.
