"He didn’t do nothing!” someone could be heard calling as others punched the driver as he sat in his truck, which was also repeatedly kicked.

The unidentified driver eventually sped off, with the mob chasing him — with some heard loudly laughing when he crashed into a tree and then a building, according to the clips.

He was dragged from the truck and tackled to the ground as he begged for help — getting repeatedly punched as he tried to call his wife while pleading with his attackers as he sat on the ground, the videos show.

Lovely people these Black Lives Matter supporters. I remember a discussion on here with one of their Portland supporters who felt they should be given what they want. At this point, I don't think they deserve a single thing.

Thoughts?

Hate crimes... domestic terrorism charges.... and a lifetime to think about it.

It's getting ridiculous....at some point, the group's reputation should reflect it's actions.

Then people wonder why I will not stop my car. It's not happening. If I even see a road block I am gone buddy. If they won't let me leave... well...

Isn't that exactly what was seen? Actions of BLM = Reputation

The tomatoes of BLM never were any good to start with.

It's starting to, but not making much head way where it matters. Check this daily poll out, scroll down to the demographic breakdown as well. I think it reveals the problem. Of those that support BLM only a few have changed their mind due to the violence. Of those undecided it seems they are all becoming decided on not supporting it. That shows that these acts of domestic terrorism are more than adequate to evoke the proper response when those actions are not filtered. To me it seems that the poll reveals that the major deciding factor determining ones response is ones political world view, rather than the actions of BLM. The domestic terrorism should be the largest factor driving a response, but instead it seems that ones politics are the deciding factor. And ones politics determine what window a person views the world from, that being the media they watch. Might be a mix of both.

To me I feel like we are watching the 911 plane landing, and half of America supporting it. Things don't look promising, and I fear we are headed for much worse.

My thoughts are that I've seen video of this from a few places and they all seem to skip the important bits between people shouting and the people from the truck being hit.

Everyone deserves effective policing free from bias.

Thoughts?

Kalen D’Almeida, the co-founder of Scriberr News, who shared one of the videos. tweeted: “A man accused of trying to run over protesters crashed his vehicle. BLM & Antifa militants then pull him from the car and violently assault him.”

He claimed that it was “specifically a militant #BLM group that left the #BLM protest to intentionally incite violence tonight.”

Some members of these militant splinter groups deserve some prison time, even if the driver started it.

If , as is claimed, the vast majority of people at these protests are peaceful protesters then why are they not stopping the tiny violent minority from committing these atrocities? Those that stood by and allowed the beating to go on and did not intervene are also guilty. Same as the cops that stood by and watched as George Floyd died.

According to the story, this was a militant posse that explicitly left the BLM protest.

Back in the early days after George Floyd, the worst of the looting near-ish me was in Santa Monica. The protest was on Ocean Ave. The looting was on 4th street (4 blocks inland). The groups were quite distinct.

Does US law require you to physically intervene to stop a violent attack?

I think some of these things are going to start hurting Biden in terms of Midwestern suburban democratic voters unless he gets out in front of it a little more and tries to solidly distance himself from it.

Moderate Midwestern Democrats aren't as "enamored" with these radical tactics as far left democrats are from places like Portland, LA, etc...

There was a good take on it from a political analyst that appeared on Maher the other day. It should be noted that neither the analyst (Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project), nor Maher are "pro-Trump" by any means (as I'm sure most people are well aware).

I can't directly link the video because of the language, but for those who want to find it, it's on his Facebook page on a video entitled "destroy the suburbs".

“If this election is a referendum on Donald Trump, Donald Trump will lose, Joe Biden will win. If this is a referendum on woke-<naughtyword>'s yelling at people in public, then it’s going to be a much harder race.” - Rick Wilson

He then went on to say "if they thing these little performance displays are going to motivate people to support them, they're wrong"

Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo echoed similar sentiments.

Regardless of their political positions on anything, most people don't want to be surrounded at a restaurant and have 100 trying to make them raise a fist. Most people don't want to have a pack of people invade a restaurant, and forcibly make them leave and start tearing the the place up.

There's a reason why gun sales and applications for concealed carry permits have spiked over the past few months (even among democrats)...and "fear of my neighbor who has a MAGA hat randomly assaulting me" isn't the reason for the increase we're seeing among Democratic suburbanites.

If you want to see why even democrats are buying more guns, it's because of this, look up the youtube video:
BLM rioters smashing up restaurants, chasing off scared guests in Rochester, NY


I'm unable to link it directly due to the language used in the video.

People (mostly younger women) are minding their own business trying to eat, and mob bumrushes the place with megaphones, yelling something long the lines of "Until you give us the ___ we want, we ain't letting you get the ___ you want, get out!", and begins shoving them out, throwing their possessions on the ground, and flipping tables and breaking glassware.

People are only gonna tolerate that nonsense for so long.

If they think they can just simply bully people into complying with any and all demands because they think everyone will be timid to the point where they'll say "Okay, we'll just give them everything they want so they'll leave us alone and we can safely go to the store again without them bothering us"...there's a lot of areas in country where that sort of strongarm tactic isn't gonna fly.

You disbelieve it's validity?

I don't believe the video has been faked, if that's what you're asking. However, when analyzing any confrontation, it's pretty important to know the exact sequence of escalating events that led from initial confrontation to shouting to physical violence. Recording the initial confrontation is often tricky and subject to luck because nobody knows when a <thing> is going to happen. But in both your NY Post OP video as well as in some videos posted by (IIRC) Andy Ngo, there's coverage of shouting, then a gap, and then coverage of the people from the truck already in the process of being beaten up. In both cases, the escalation from shouting to physicality is missing. That's one red flag for me. The second red flag is that both sources have a pretty overt agenda, a strong incentive to frame the events in a certain way, a history of being not terribly reliable.

So, I'm perfectly okay with believing that the mob is guilty here, but there's also something obviously missing; that missing thing has the potential to undermine the narrative; and I don't trust the people publishing the videos to have not left those things out on purpose.

Does US law require you to physically intervene to stop a violent attack?

No, but it certainly doesn't prevent a large majority of people from stopping a tiny minority of people from doing so. It also so doesn't require that large majority to applaud the violent attack ot r to make excuses for allowing it to happen under their umbrella. If I were the leader of an organization that claimed to be conducting a peaceful protest there is no way I would allow a tiny minority of violent criminals to use my organsations activities as an excuse to hartm others.

I really love the way some guy off to the side feeling left out runs up and kicks this guy on the ground smack in the face, I don't care what happened before , what he did was totally unprovoked, and RACIST, look at the stance of the kicker over the guy laying on the ground out cold, do you see the anger hatred being expressed?

If it was the other way around the white guy would be in jail, and a whole new set of riots would have ensued as a result.

He shouldn't have plowed into a crowd of people like they always do. He assaulted them with a deadly weapon - his truck - and they defended themselves. In the video he clearly was resisting the security officers' orders. How about this - if you don't want to get hurt, don't attack others by running them over with your truck and don't resist orders from an officer. Stop resisting!!!

No, but it certainly doesn't prevent a large majority of people from stopping a tiny minority of people from doing so. It also doesn't require that large majority to applaud the violent attack or to make excuses for allowing it to happen under their umbrella. If I was one of the leaders of an organization that claimed to be conducting peaceful protests there is no way I would allow a tiny minority of violent criminals to use my organization's activities as an excuse to harm others. Most certainly I would not, after such harm had been done ,fail to condemn those actions and those that had perpetuated them while assuring through proper oversight and planning, that in any future protests the vast majotrity do not tolerate actions that reflect so horribly upon the organization. A tiny minority can only act so inhumanly and criminally if it has at least a modicum of consent from the vast majority and of the leadership of the organization.
