Riverside protesters struck in hit-and-run

King C, the first DUmp monkey who would be found floating in the river if Mosad was working the riots, waxes on about playing in the streets...

Other broadcast reports say that protesters got the license plate info of the Nazi-mobile. I hope the Riverside, CA County DA throws the book at the driver for felony assault with a deadly weapon and leaving the scene of an accident.

Readers are advised to peruse the comments with caution, as you will see some really puerile right-wing sentiments there

BMW being a German vehicle is obviously a NAZI-mobile... 

Most of the comments are "Get out of the road DUmb ass and you won't get hit!"

3. The reason I cautioned readers about the Comments section is that several

comments insinuated or openly stated that the protesters 'deserved' to be hit.

Of course, had the protesters seized the driver and strung him up, those same commenters would be pissing and moaning about viligantiism.

4. Protesters were perhaps guilty of crimes here.

Apparently pounding on a car?

If the car was trapped by the protesters so that it could not move, I believe that it's a felony under CA code? It probably depends on whether the car had another way out. Protesters don't have the right to unlawfully detain other people.

And it was a push-through, not a hit and run. Nor is there any legal obligation to stop if the driver reasonably believes doing so may place his or her in danger.

This is more complicated than apparently you think, depending on all the circs. Anyone's right to protest ends when it involves denying other persons' civil liberties.

5. Are you a cop? - nt

Charlie needs to be put down.

11. Well, it sure sounded as though you were blaming the victims (the

protesters who were struck by the hit-and-run driver). The only people who are doing that (victim blaming) right now are cops, copologists or outright racists. Both your link and my link mention that the driver was honking at the protesters, then gunned his engine and just bowled into them. There's no way that constitutes 'self defense' or 'exigent circumstances.'

So what's your interest in backing this driver?

Charlie is the type of guy who writes shit just to stir up the fire of racism and police hatred. Hopefully he'll be blown up by his own bomb in the coming race war.

19. Stay out of the damn road. Stupid. It doesnt further the goal of the protest.

And the continuation of blocking roads, taking over stores, blocking bridges, does NOT help get more people on your side.
Look at the video of this guy in Ferguson fears he may lose his job because of the protestors. And he's on their side!!

this type of stuff NEVER gets more people supporting you. It just becomes a protest to disrupt, not inform.

You don't get it. These ****s want a war to destroy the USA. They don't give a **** about the common man. They are out to destroy the country.

If you demented mutants applaud something it is almost as certain as the sun rising in the east that sane and normal people find it repulsive.

As far as I'm concerned they're carjackers, or at least bent on assault with intent if they can stop the car and get you out of it, and butting on through them is the only safe thing to do.

A pathetically unsuccessful and transparent attempt to delegitimize anyone who disagrees with him in advance.  Sad, really.

However, he wouldn't be found floating in the river, since that would involve actually showing up at one of the riots rather than trying to play the role of an internet Marat from the safety of his hovel.

Kind of like the primitive (the name escapes me) that posted every day about all the things the occupoopers were going to be doing but finally admitted he never was actually there because he couldn`t get out of bed before noon.

Remember the shit storm on DU when Christie's political allies closed one lane on a bridge? How that was going to cause people to die because ambulances couldn't get through, and people might lose jobs because they couldn't get to work?   Consistency thy name is DU.

I have yet to see the endless coverage of "bridge gate" produce nay results.
