In reply to the discussion: Driver plows through 'Black Lives Matter' protesters in southern IL [View all]SuperDutyTX
(79 posts)5. Did you watch the video?
Charging him with any kind of terorism related crime would be insane. The guy got about 4-5 feet from the protesters, got out of the car and said something, then proceeded at about 2mph through the small crowd blocking the streets, while they vandalized his car.
Once he made it through (again at 2mph) they chased after him, punched him in the face, and threw a smoke bomb in the car.
