San Marino man accused of driving into protesters is charged with sending arms to a training camp

Source: MSN/LA Times

A San Marino man accused of intentionally driving his truck into a crowd of protesters in Pasadena in May has been charged with conspiring to violate firearms laws, U.S. prosecutors announced Wednesday.

Benjamin Jong Ren Hung, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of conspiracy to transport firearms across state lines and making a false statement in relation to the acquisition of firearms. According to the affidavit, Hung collected weapons and equipment from suppliers across the country and turned his family’s vineyard in Lodi into a training camp "to prepare to engage in civil disorders"

Pasadena police first arrested Hung on May 31 on suspicion of attempted assault with a deadly weapon after he intentionally drove into a crowd of protesters demonstrating against racial injustice in Old Town Pasadena, according to an affidavit filed with the criminal complaint. People dispersed as the pickup neared and no injuries were reported.

The affidavit says that Hung’s truck was decorated with flags related to right-wing extremist groups.

For all the efforts by Republicans and Fox News to create an antifa bogeyman, we seem to have a lot of armed and danger right wing terrorists right under the radar.

Didn't the old South African apartheid system have a designation like that for wealthy Asian businessmen?

I liked that guy on SNL. And yes S. Africa did have a designation and social status and placing for all colours of a human being with the darkest skinned human being having no rights and put into concen...urrhh 'homelands'. They did have the right to clean and nanny massa and missus' children and work the fields of the farmers though. Wow! That sounds familiar

They realized they couldn't treat the CEO as "Asian" so they had to invent a new category so as not to insult their new economic benefactors
