MERIDIAN, Idaho — On Saturday at approximately 1 p.m., a protest in front of the Tesla dealership on Franklin Road in Meridian turned violent when one protester struck another counterprotester with their vehicle.

According to a release from the Meridian Police Department, 70-year-old Christopher Talbot of Meridian made an "obscene gesture" towards a 49-year-old before hitting the same person with their car. The victim had just parked his truck, which was adorned with pro-Trump flags, and exited the vehicle when Talbot hit him with his car.

After being hit, the 49-year-old transported himself to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The victim was able to capture Talbot's license plate, which led officers to arrest Talbot without further incident at his residence. Talbot was subsequently booked into the Ada County Jail and charged with one count of Aggravated Battery.

70-year-old Christopher Talbot of Meridian is a terrorist and should be executed.

The violent lefty, Talbot, needs to be raked over the criminal coals, and subsequently, the 49 year old victim needs to sue Talbot for every single thing he owns.

Another from the silver-ponytail crowd. No, I don’t have to see it, I just know it’s there.

I can not find words to agree more. I am at absolute end point with these people.

I disagree. We should be extremely swift.

Torch a Tesla and your doing the Texas Two-Step by sundown.

I think if someone intentionally rammed me with his car - I would do everything I could to get even.
By that I mean physically getting even.

I like “Manila Mambo” better.

Or just run a quick Mozambique Drill and be done with it.
