Seems like the peaceful opposition to Trump's Stalin moment is riling up the street level fascists.

Thankfully no one was gravely injured or killed.

Hmm right wing nutjob using their car as a weapon of terrorism against political opponents, where did I hear of that before?

We attended the event here in the Manch, and it went off smoothly, but it was not a concern I could clear. Especially the one guy in a Maga hat who made a few passes before being ignored got boring for him.

Vehicular ramming attacks are not a constitutional right. We shouldn't have to say this, but there are a few politicians unclear on the concept.

That said, protesters need to recognize that they have an obligation to teach. That is the point of a protest, after all. And to teach correct behavior, there should be no doubt in a motorist's mind that being surrounded by protesters means that he will hear chants for a few minutes, rather than having his windows smashed before he is dragged out to be beaten. This is the protesters' responsibility, because they are the ones trying to advocate for moral behavior. Protesters need to be sure that their comrades are on the same page about non-violence and about not harassing people with long delays or denied destinations.

Or they can stay off the road and actually protest, rather than obstructing traffic and harassing motorists.

Strangely enough, the article does not mention the location of the four victims.

Yeah....I'd drink too if I was a fascist in this day and age.

Yes, it does. I literally cut and paste it from the Guardian.

It's the fascist playbook. Bully and provoke people then claim their opponents are the violent ones and the fascists are portrayed as precious victims, while their entire ideology stands for subjugating others.

It's telling that the usual suspects have avoided their regular attempts at framing.

DeSantis was calling on drivers in Florida to do this.

One guy, in San Francisco of all places, is involved in an incident that may well have been an accident and out come the desperate leftist cries of 'fascism.' How pathetic.

The organizers of the local event, here, did a bang-up job of establishing the ground rules. Stay out of the road. Ignore the maga hatters. No chanting at the police.

Seems like in the face of official and other incitements to vehicular violence, organization going forward has to include how to minimize the opportunities for maga street thugs.
