Man arrested for driving truck towards anti-fascist protesters in Vancouver

[Milchshake]

Its a shame that people feel the need to emulate vehicle attacks on pedestrian gatherings. Guess they've been staring into the Abyss for too long?

Incident took place after far-right Patriot Prayer rally in city of Vancouver.

Late on Sunday, immediately after an “alt-right” Patriot Prayer rally in Vancouver, Washington, a man aggressively reversed a truck towards a crowd of people who had been counter-protesting. Later, the same driver was apprehended by police.

The incident came less than a month after the car attack that killed Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, Virginia, after an alt-right rally which she had protested against.

Video from local journalists showed the truck reversing down the street towards counter-protesters, blaring the Confederate battle song Dixie on a novelty airhorn. The truck, which had been circling the town, was reportedly pelted with water bottles and other missiles.
...
Protesters claimed that a second truck, white and carrying four passengers – one wearing the black polo-shirt uniform of the “Proud Boys” group, another wearing a Donald Trump cap – was also driving at high speed through the streets, reversing and veering dangerously close to protesters.

Glad to see Roscoe and Boss Hogg finally arrested the suspects.

Yep, they better start defending themselves with more than scorn. Otherwise, I am pretty sure one of these idiots will be more than glad to run another group of protesters over.

Dont confuse the driver's economic anxiety for scorn. Scorn would have been rolling coal while attempting to run people over. Lookit those exhausts.

The Driver is a moron, just like the dipshits supporting this nonsense, Which is why I said the protesters better defend themselves from the idiots like the one in the truck with more than scorn.

If they were ISIS, maybe they would have just tossed a slow cooker in his truck bed. Idiot might have has something to really have anxiety about rather than simply threatening to run people over.

Pathetic.

They've become worse than those they claim to defend against.

I don't really understand the conflict here.

People should punch nazis.
People should run over antifa.

Apparently the guy did it because people had been throwing shit at the truck (the article mentions people were throwing stuff at him).

More peaceful protesting from anti-fascists. Not that I'm defending this truck guy or his reckless driving around protesters, but I'm also not defending the idiots who threw shit at someone else's vehicle like they were.

Well I've learned from antifa that you should definitely be violent towards people you disagree with, so I guess this is fine.

LOL you are defending the truck driver, make no mistake about it, throwing shit at his truck, is nowhere near trying to use his truck as a weapon, this fucking lunatic should be arrested and have his fucking truck taken in as evidence incase anybody wants to press charges.

I've learned from Alt-Right Neo Nazi's everybody is fair game whether they actually part of a group in any real way or not, anywhere any time.

Run over people's kids, kill innocent folks just praying at church right?

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Throw shit at someone, expect them to respond violently. Try to run people over, expect to get arrested.

Both sides are large portions of the reason why I think humanity needs a culling.

they need to give background checks to people buying cars

I'm pretty sure that nothing of value would be lost if both groups would just annihilate each other.

Well, apart from some collateral property damage.

From the video it claims: "The driver was detained by police and later released without citation"

So I wouldn't exactly be on the bus claiming that he did something illegal. But it is amusing to see the anti-fascists have a sudden change of heart and cheer on the police.

A lot of us are thinking it's only a matter of time before someone gets shot, maybe a lot of people. The difference between Antifa in Europe and Antifa in the US is in the US we have guns everywhere.

The same anti-fascists who come out in defense n attack anyone proteztings "trucks of peace",,,

[sarahtasher]

I know it's very hard to fathom for some people, but throwing fecal matters at a vehicle, even if the driver have a MAGA hat. a ghost costume and a CSA flag, would rank barely as ''vandalism'' in most countries.

While using the truck to attack people would be a crime, even if your agitprop handlers on Twitter told you it's not.
