Car plows through protesters during Ferguson rally in south Minneapolis

Most places outside of Ferguson have been civilized and peaceful though. I mean, Oakland is the exception last night where things did get out of control. But that's California for ya.

Yeah, but in NYC you just have people wandering wherever. The media was almost jovial when they were saying, "we don't know where this will end!" Meanwhile the crowd quickly moves down whatever street it felt like and any ongoing cars have to stop and try to turn around in time before these idiots get to them first.

It's ridiculous and gets worse given that NYC isn't exactly designed for two-way traffic or multiple routes.

But you know, liberals love their protests and think it just swell.

I have a suspicion most are frustrated Occupiers, hoping to become relevant.

You nailed it! Exactly the crowd. But is there such a thing as a non-frustrated Occupier?

Bwaa Haaa, care to explain how that simple comment is "racist" ??

You're too funny. Ever hear the fairy tale about the little boy that cried wolf ??

If you didn't mean black, please explain what kind of person you were talking about.

Reading comprehension issues ???

Where did I say anything about "black" ??
 
Perhaps the guy remembered Reginald Denny from the Rodney King riots and didn't care to offer himself as a repeat sacrifice.



I wouldn't either. If need be I'd put the car in Low and grind over as many people as I had to.

This is your story, you tell it.

Tell me what you mean this time please.

It's a very simple story.

Michael Brown was walking down the middle of the street in traffic instead of the sidewalk. If he had walked on the sidewalk like everyone else, he would be alive today.

How stupid can you be to rob a store, then draw attention to yourself by walking down the center of a city street???
 
Parts of that, not the whole incident, reminds me of the NY bank gang who attacked a driver after hit them for blocking him in.

The moral of which is, don't make someone driving a vehicle afraid he's going to get mobbed, and you won't get run over...
 


I think its been established that he wasn't splitting atoms on his off time.
 
I'm going to guess no charges. Here's the update:

I think I might look at that as an opportunity to play a game of deathrace and see how many points I could get.

Looks like this guy gets 50 for taking out a teenage girl.
 

I don't care why, intentionally hitting someone with your car is not acceptable. Even if the victim was an evil racist Obama voter.

I wouldn't expect you to see it that way, and your use of Rodney King era footage proved that you are unable to speak without resorting to race baiting.
 
Meh...-10 for only getting one. No...Im not going to run them over with my truck. Its too early in the season and I dont have the plow hooked up. Let those bitches be out there in another 4 weeks though........

In all seriousness...it is very hard to feel bad for assholes that feel they have the right to do illegal **** without consequence. Two of my favorite sentences that are almost ALWAYS followed by something bad..."I know my rights" and "Hey! You cant do that!"

("Hey y'all...watch this" also usually has negative consequences but is an entirely different realm.)

Looting, rioting, people getting beat up, shot, set on fire, business burned to the ground...why yes...I can see how this time its TOTALLY different...
:roll:
 

Clearly it's another one of those things that's completely OK if you disagree with the protesters. Unless you're a liberal, then drawing breath is a horribly awful thing.

There wasn't any looting or rioting at this intersection.

You would. Fits right in with the idea that the right is so much classier

I would. Free paint job too.. Though i'm not big on red...
 
Hey don't forget pedestrians have the right of way! Technically it looks like the girl that got hit was within the crosswalk, don't know if the light was red or green though, hard to tell from the videos.

So classy....a liberal would never have enough class to run someone over with their car

There is a rule to live by. Dont do stupid things, and bad things are far less likely to happen to you.

A bunch of ****ing morons were protesting and blocking the streets in Minneapolis. Minneapolis. Minneapolis Minnesota.

Now...look at their rhetoric. They were protesting and causing mayhem to get their point across, because "if it can happen in Ferguson, it can happen here". Well tou-****in-che. The driver of the vehicle freaked and hauled ass, because...you know...if protesters can turn violent in other places, they can do it here too. No reason for him to wait and see what comes next. I figure you ought to appreciate that.

Thats precisely what some of the protesters said in Ferguson.

Yet.

I am very familiar with that intersection. The police station is on the corner opposite the auto parts store. The photographer likely had his back to it. It wasn't happening.

Are you going to say this guy is a hero for stopping it.
 

I lived near there For 13 years. I often bought groceries at that intersection, and bought some kind of car parts in the store in the background. You've probably never even visited, and you know more about Minneapolis than I do? Sure....
