In footage obtained by a local Fox station, a group of peaceful demonstrators are seen marching down the middle of a street when a car suddenly charged toward them.
As the car dived toward the crowd, children could be seen jumping out of the way and man appeared to try to run down the car before it sped down the road.
One protester could also be heard yelling "stop the violence" moments after.
According to the local station, the driver of the vehicle had gotten into a minor collision with another vehicle and sped off into the crowd.

I remember he told humanoids in his rallies to rough up protesters and he would foot the bill if they were charged for it.
No doubt at all there's a straight line from the exploding evil acts to the Orange Occupant.

(9,426 posts)Only for family members and Hope Hicks. He does not even pay cities for extra security at his hate rallies. He blows into town, riles up his racist followers, then leaves the city to pay for the damage and security. He has done it in several places. Taxpayers are left holding the bag. Pence did exactly that in Colorado. It is the gop way of doing things since tRump was put into the WH by Putin.

(951 posts)Footage "picking up traction"??
Get the hell out of here...
Also, nobody got hit, so I don't really like the use of the phrase "plowed through" on the title either.
Not really impressed by this Aris person so far

POSTED 4:15 PM, AUGUST 3, 2019, BY ASHLEY SEARS AND KATIE DELONG, UPDATED AT 10:22PM, AUGUST 3, 2019
MILWAUKEE -- FOX6's cameras were rolling when a reckless driver plowed through a crowd gathered for an anti-violence rally in Milwaukee on Saturday, Aug. 3.
The incident happened near 12th and Center, as community members gathered to promote peace.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
The "Stop the Violence" rally brought together families who have lost loved ones to violence in Milwaukee.
About 40 people were escorted by police as they walked through the streets, encouraging their neighbors to put the guns down.
During FOX6's interview, there was a fender bender, and the driver of one of the vehicles involved took off -- nearly hitting those walking as part of the rally. Police followed closely behind.

A driver plowed through a crowd of peaceful protesters marching at an anti-violence rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Saturday, forcing several people to dive out of its path.
Footage of the incident, taken by a local Fox station, shows demonstrators walking down the middle of the street holding signs calling for violence to end in their communities. As the protesters, consisting of mostly black Milwaukee families who have lost loved ones to gun violence and their children, marched down the street, a dark colored vehicle suddenly charged towards them, causing the crowd to break as people jumped out of the way to avoid being hit.
The group of roughly 40 people took to the streets on Saturday to encourage members of their community to dispose of their guns. Law enforcement reportedly escorted the protesters as they marched and chanted. According to local outlets, people participating in the "Stop the Violence" rally were near 12th and Center when the driver barrelled through the crowd.
Members from the rally can be heard screaming and shouting as they scrambled to get out of the vehicle's way as it turned fast down the street where they were gathered. The vehicle appeared to have been involved in a minor accident before speeding away from the scene. It is unclear whether the driver intentionally or negligently drove the car through the crowd of demonstrators.

but 'how will it end' is more appropriate. Lone wolves long for a pack. Thank Judi.

(160,211 posts)The sense of "community" they are discovering must be intoxicating to them.
We may not be able to wake up from this nightmare for some time, unfortunately. It's definitely "other worldly". Not like a real world at all.
