The video clip of those mutants smashing his windows with bats is going to weigh very heavily in this guy’s favor in a trial — even if all of it took place AFTER he ran people over.

video is post #8 does in facts show him driving slow, then his car getting hit with a bat? and then he speeds up. I’d be scared too and just like others, would floor it and deal with the consequences later. Worst case scenario his window breaks and he is hit in the head. He can’t act, and they pull him out of the car and beat him to death. Maybe that’s what was going through his mind. Maybe. He needs a good lawyer. Possibly not guilty.

It’s not that easy and it’s not that unreasonable to suspect he panic’d and/or decided fight in the fight or flight stage of things.

Let’s not forget the 1992 LA riots and that guy brrmumble mumble mumble getting pulled out of his truck and had his head caved in by a rock.

And where were the cops as said mutants clogged the streets in an unlawful assembly?

“Everyone he hit was in the street.”

Excellent point.

He’s been charged with 2nd degree murder. Because it’s the PC thing to do right now, even though that may be tough to prove? Maybe it gets knocked down to vehicular manslaughter or reckless endangerment? This whole thing stinks to high heaven, but anything the left touches turns to sh!t.

For murder, the prosecutor is going to have a hard time proving malicious intent, what the guy was thinking at the time.

At no point is the guy driving slow. Watch the full thing, not the little sliver:

He speed into the crowd and someone takes a swipe at him. Half a second later he smashes into people. You need speed to do that much damage.

Thanks to the yahoo female that trains ‘protestors’ to block streets and interstates. She’s well paid.

He was a moron for driving down there. He just have reversed when he saw the crowd instead of going into it.

Gosh, Ray. It’s only a discussion and people’s opinions. Was that really called for? I think you may have some anger management issues. Don’t drive tonight.

It would not shock me if the prosecutor filed a murder charge specifically to make sure the guy got off at the end of the day. It would be much easier to prove a vehicular homicide charge in a case like this.

Watching again, it does seem that he sped up after he got hit. Someone would have to frame-by-frame it and use Google Street View to determine his rate of speed and acceleration.

Once again we’ve got to go to the foreign press to get the truth instead of a prepackaged agenda.

He was blocked in front (not sure if that car was under attack too) and he was under attack from 3 sides. The only way out was to back out.

I’m betting this Ruptly video gets blacked out.

Thank you. This video should put to rest any question of intent. He went speeding before anyone swung the bat.

No matter the facts . . . he will still be raked thru the coals . . . ala George Zimmerman or Darren Wilson of Ferguson style.

Bet on it.

“it does seem that he sped up after he got hit”

Correlation is not causation. His path is directly towards the crowded street. He never deviates from his path.
