Video shows man's car surrounded and attacked by pro-Palestinian protesters in Minneapolis
Washington Examiner ^ | 23 Oct, 2023 | Heather Hunter

Posted on 10/24/2023 5:27:29 AM PDT by MtnClimber

A man attempting to get past a blockade of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Minneapolis was attacked on Sunday.

The group staged a protest in response to the war in Israel and Gaza. While they blocked the streets, a man tried to navigate his car past the crowd in his white Ford Fusion. The driver slowly edged forward to break through the crowd blocking the intersection.

An overhead drone captured video of the demonstrators chasing the driver down and attacking his vehicle as he tried to flee the area. The drone footage shows the driver attempting to drive through the crowd, and his car is repeatedly kicked and hit. He steps out to yell at the protesters as the crowd surrounds him.

Another white car in the intersection moved out of his way, and he broke free, fleeing the crowd as they hit his car with a Palestinian flag. Several people were seen attempting to block the front of his vehicle and even jumped on the car's hood.

According to the Minneapolis Police Department, witnesses saw the vehicle driving through the crowd, but no injuries were reported. It is unclear whether the road that the demonstrators had been illegally occupying had been closed or open at the time.

every time this happens, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the protestors should be identified and prosecuted for attempted murder!

Not the video I saw where an elderly man trapped in an intersection crouched in fear as a mob attacked his car. As an elected Minnesota state delegate called the crowd to attack him. And then to doxx him. For future retaliation,

He had little choice but to save his life by gently ( gently) moving into a clear position to escape. Even so the enraged mob chased him for blocks like a swarm of human killer bees.

No police were to be seen.
Every indication was that they would have murdered him for daring to disobey their entrapment.

WATCH: Pro-Hamas Protest in Minneapolis Attacks Confused Old Man, Democrat Politician Implicated [Monday, October 23, 2023, RedState article]

EXCERPTS:

The man in the car was not a counter-protester, and there was no evidence that a gun was fired (someone in the crowd likely set off a firework). Instead, footage from the ground shows that the man in the car was an elderly, obviously confused old man who was surrounded by the crowd through no provocation of his own

To add another layer to the incident, a Democrat politician has been implicated. Zach Metzger, who is running for city council in Minneapolis [13th Ward], was one of those filming the attack. He and others also chased the man down after he escaped the first group of protesters.

The savages know that nothing will happen to them, and that the driver will be charged with murder if he drives away and one of the savages refuses to move away and is killed.

...Most people are blissfully unaware of our government’s ‘resettlement’ program which has placed a large population of enemy personnel within our borders. Minneapolis is one such locale.

Round them all up and put them on a plane to Gaza. I’m sick of third world thugs turning this country into the sh#thole they are protesting about. They like it so much, go there and improve it.

Is this true, “No police were to be seen.”

LEOs were either “Ordered” to Stand Down or they are F*CKING COWARDS.

Sadly, WE are all now fully responsible for our own individual protection and safety. LEOs can’t be relied on as backup. Sad day indeed!!

Unbelievable.

I bet this old guy, when growing up in Minnesota of the 1960s and 1970s, never could have imagined, in his wildest imaginings, being attacked by Muslim radicals/terrorists en masse while driving on the streets of his home town.

And it probably broke his heart watching Minneapolis turn into Mogadishu.

Predicting what crazies will do is impossible, but this is what I think:

People are or will soon insist that cops and if necessary, the military, will stop the mass riots in the major cities. Not tomorrow or next week, but some time soon. The public is getting fed up and angry.

But then what?

I suspect that we will see a very long period mirroring the present events in South Africa. Small gangs of a half dozen or so roaming at night, catching people off guard and murdering them before disappearing back into the metropolitan areas.

Religious wars do not disappear overnight just because of police actions. We have opened Pandora’s Box and the consequences will be a curse on our children and great grandchildren for many years.

Oh, I think people are well aware of the fact that our government has not only failed miserably to do its #1 job — protect the American people from invasion — but it actually encouraged and orchestrated that invasion. That kind of makes the government illegitimate.
