Driver plows through 'Black Lives Matter' protesters in southern IL [View all]

“All lives matter, not blacks, all lives,” the driver said before plowing into a group of Black Lives Matter protesters.

CARBONDALE, IL (KFVS) -
The driver of an SUV plowed through a group of protesters during a “Black Lives Matters” march in southern Illinois on Sunday, July 10.

According to Carbondale police, at around 10 p.m., officers began to monitor demonstrators who began marching along Washington Street in Carbondale.

Police say they continued marching throughout the downtown streets, briefly assembled in front of the Carbondale Police Department, before returning to the Town Square Pavilion.

According to police, as they were returning to the pavilion, a vehicle tried to drive through the demonstrators in the 200 block of East Main Street while they were blocking traffic.

You can see this in a Facebook Live video captured by Heartland News.

In the video, you see the driver stop his vehicle just before the protesters. The driver gets out of his vehicle and shouts at protesters.

This. It is the fault of cities for forcing the protesters out into the streets (ntxt) scscholar Jul 2016 #31

It's terrorism. Racial terrorism. Charge him accordingly. R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #4

Did the crowd start it? R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #6

Yep. When they blocked the street. Waldorf Jul 2016 #65

Ahhhh, so blicking the street means a driver can ram them. R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #69

Have you watched the video? It was more like crawling thru the crowd. Waldorf Jul 2016 #70

Yes. Complete disregard for safety of others. R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #73

I posted it before the events in France took place. tenderfoot Jul 2016 #12

No, you didn't B2G Jul 2016 #13

Well, I missed the initial reports then. It doesn't change that a driver plowed into BLM supporters. tenderfoot Jul 2016 #14

This was already posted several days ago. cwydro Jul 2016 #20

You're accusing me of lying? tenderfoot Jul 2016 #22

Oh, come the f on! Joe the Revelator Jul 2016 #40

Again, nice try. cwydro Jul 2016 #78

He did not plow into anyone Lying for your cause does not forward your cause Especially when Monk06 Jul 2016 #21

What's my cause? tenderfoot Jul 2016 #23

Promoting a claim by BLM supporters which is patently false You can support BLM without Monk06 Jul 2016 #29

That is a lie tenderfoot Jul 2016 #30

Seriously, you should be ashamed of yourself. nt Joe the Revelator Jul 2016 #41

Yeah well, I'm not. tenderfoot Jul 2016 #45

I have no doubt. Joe the Revelator Jul 2016 #51

We are not limited to one discussion only here. KMOD Jul 2016 #28

Discribing an incident that is clearly not a case of `plowing` on the heals of the Nice Monk06 Jul 2016 #32

They are different topics. KMOD Jul 2016 #33

They don't care... tenderfoot Jul 2016 #38

Using motor vehicles as an instrument of terror is the same topic Monk06 Jul 2016 #53

Your responses are so histrionic that I question your sincerity tenderfoot Jul 2016 #35

My response was reasoned and measured You on the other hand seem quite exciteable Monk06 Jul 2016 #50

no. you're excusatory and couldn't care less about the op tenderfoot Jul 2016 #52

The issue isn't that you posted just after Nice happened The issue is there was no plowing Monk06 Jul 2016 #55

When you tried to correct "hyperboly" your autocorrect changed it to "hyperbola" instead of tblue37 Jul 2016 #37

Must be my 1960's algebra comin back to haunt me Monk06 Jul 2016 #46

Probably a hyperactive autocorrect. I have to fight mine all the time. nt tblue37 Jul 2016 #49

Jebus!!! I hadn't heard about that and that happened in January this year. Stellar Jul 2016 #34

Just hold on! Boudica the Lyoness Jul 2016 #39

Ok, the racist who made the video dubbed that one incident in as well. KMOD Jul 2016 #44

I don't know. Boudica the Lyoness Jul 2016 #48

...!100++++ 840high Jul 2016 #59

One more time - he did NOT plow. 840high Jul 2016 #67

Have you actually every plowed into anything before? snooper2 Jul 2016 #82

I don't see any reason why both stories can't be covered. KMOD Jul 2016 #24

Well, he kind of proved their point. Aristus Jul 2016 #25

He did NOT plow. Watch 840high Jul 2016 #68

Carbondale, Il ... Nice, France ... Is there a difference? 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #36

None at all - you had no opinion of either until this thread, I'll wager. Nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2016 #42

You're right. I was watching reports of Nice, when I saw this for the first time. 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #47

Sure: one killed 75 people, the other nobody was injured because the driver stopped and got out and Joe the Revelator Jul 2016 #43

Good point. I should have read the article (rather than just the title) before posting. 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #54

So you thought it was possible that an equal horror Dreamer Tatum Jul 2016 #56

And what are you projecting? kwassa Jul 2016 #60

I read the title, i.e., "Car plows into crowd" ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #61

Why didn't you mention the death toll in your post? (nt) Nye Bevan Jul 2016 #72

Misleading headline. Driver did not "plough" or "plow". He fled. JustABozoOnThisBus Jul 2016 #79
