Why is the news saying the murder car didn't have tags? Someone on MSNBC said it.

[Solly Mack]

The tag on the gray Charger is: GVF 111, Ohio plates.

1. They might have been looking at a different video, or at the wrong car.

[Solly Mack]

2. That could be it.

3. Typical wild spread of rumors just after an event

It will take several hours to weed out the facts vs what is going around.

Video is always better than eyewitness accounts, as this shows.

[Solly Mack]

11. Lots of photos and videos of the car online already.

That will serve prosecutors well.

4. Some states only have tags in the back.

Is that so in Ohio?

[Solly Mack]

8. No idea about their tag laws. Sorry.

But you're right, some states are only back plates.

[grantcart]

23. Initial video was from the front which had no tags.

[Solly Mack]

26. Oh, OK. I saw a video that showed it coming and passing, so I saw both ends.

But I can see how it was confusing.

Thanks!

[cwydro]

10. Yup.

Same in NC.

[DeminPennswoods]

37. Ohio has front and back plates

nt

[HipChick]

5. VA has front and back license plates....from the front, not knowing the car was out of state

I would have said it didn't have plates too...

[Solly Mack]

12. I can see that. Thanks!

6. I was wondering that too! n/t

[Solly Mack]

15. I saw the tags earlier but they kept saying it, so I thought I'd ask.

[RKP5637]

22. I think they've been arrested. I was doing some google searches and came across

the car and cops at it.

[Solly Mack]

27. The AP is saying there has been an arrest.

Good!

[RKP5637]

31. See #29. I found this in some searches/discussions. I think it's real. n/t

[Solly Mack]

32. I've commented on your post already. :)

Thanks!!

7. yeap. the main network news outfits always lag compared

to twitter and the likes. I guess they want to confirm first. In this case its pretty clear however. There are plenty of still pics from the video of the impact that clearly shows this plate.

[Solly Mack]

17. That's true.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Ohio plates. GVF 1111.

The car or the plates could be stolen, but the cops should be able to find this car pretty easily.

[Solly Mack]

18. True. They could be stolen but the car should be easy to spot. I think, anyway.

[LakeArenal]

24. That image is incredible... What horror. nt

[roamer65]

13. Hmmm...Ohio.

A certain person pops to mind.

[Solly Mack]

19. I've heard they caught the person and I've heard they are still looking.

Which is to be expected at a time like this.

[dhol82]

14. Wonder if it will come out that the car was stolen?

Hope the Feds come in on this one.
Don't trust the local cops.

[Solly Mack]

20. Could be stolen. Guess we'll know soon enough.

[ornotna]

16. I heard on CNN that there had been an arrest

Pretty sure they were talking about this.

[Solly Mack]

21. I heard that too.

AP said the same thing.

MSNBC keeps making it sound as if that's still a question mark.

[Thinkingabout]

25. Good, things do not happen like they did 50 years ago, too many cell phones recording

events, maybe the driver did not know this.

[Solly Mack]

28. I'm glad people got it on their phones.

The prosecution can use it.

[RKP5637]

29. Supposedly they've now been arrested.

[Solly Mack]

30. I saw that! I'm glad. He is missing his torch.

[RKP5637]

33. What a disgusting POS. I was on one site where they were saying just a panicked driver.

I think that is total BS. Not the way that car sped up and hit people.

[Solly Mack]

34. Yeah. That wasn't panic.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. Seems like he's wearing the alt-right "uniform" we saw

on many of last night's tiki-torch marchers - the khaki pants and white polo shirt. Could be just a coincidence, of course.

[RKP5637]

36. All dressed up to kill! Pathetic POS! n/t
