5,000-pound projectile. He had to stand on a lever to pour explosive liquid into the chamber to set it into motion. He knew he was doing it. He knew it could hurt someone. He was not in danger. There's no excuse.

Huh, looking at the evidence, was the right call. Guess you guys need to find hate elsewhere, surely there more supply than demand for hate, right?

I wonder what its like to have a head so rotted and full of brain worms that you can watch someone purposefully drive two tons of metal into some people and think "wow those people just standing there are so full of hate."

He drove around a stopped car and ran over people.

I don't give a shit what his politics are, driving into people is wrong, how can anyone call that justice?

How based too, oh his wife and daughter agreed? It must be true! What about the protesters, did they even ask them?

Driving a car into crowds is a favorite of terrorists. And the GOP as they adopted a bunch of laws to make it legal during the BLM protests. It's not even a surprise that these act like terrorists.

His wife, daughter, and this court signed off on this behavior. It's perfectly fine, and just, in their eyes.

This is his politics. He believes his political enemies deserve to be hit by cars, and the justice system agrees.

I watched the video - he stopped, they came up to his truck and started slapping it. So he nudged them out of the way and drove off. It's not like he plowed into it at 60 MPH trying to kill someone.

What? They didn't come up to his truck, his truck came up to them. They were slapping it because he was "nudging" them out of the way. Slapping the hood to get his attention was a natural response to someone driving into them.

He was trying to drive through an intersection. They wouldn't move out of the street. Then they slapped his truck. It isn't like he was driving through a baseball field.

He could have killed someone.

Well, watch for traffic I guess. 🤷‍♂️

This only solidified my beliefs that motorists are monsters and can not be trusted.
