fucking hell lads, settle down. If he did mow the people down intentionally we all will find out.

And yeah, I've seen the videos.

err dude what videos did you see he blew past an intersection into the crowd. jesus

edit trumps tweeting about it ...

 

[sirap]

Eh, when you are surrounded by a dozen shouting people, sometimes you do stupid shit, like gunning the gas pedal in panic.

I'll wait until the investigation is more conclusive.

LOL

That's one hell of a reach.

wat

 

[Rellik]

I'm saying people do stupid shit in panic. It happens.

I once accidentally hit a car. In panic I hit the gas pedal again and rammed the back. :|

Fuck off. You can see the driver starting out on a clear road. He intentionally drives to the crowd.

There's always one person on this forum who tries to defend this bullshit. It's disgusting.

This forum and its defence forces. This is a new low.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Hope they catch the terrorist.

 

[TheOMan]

LOL, how are you gonna find out if you're disregarding the video? The driver isn't gonna come out and say, "Yup, did it on purpose, yolo"

 

[RS4-]

Driver is gonna be hired and to be used for police chases.

As usual, some people defending this shit.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Wait, he was being serious about "Panicking" and driving into a crowd? I thought it was sarcasm.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

WTF.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

I don't typically vent here, but a childhood acquaintance of mine was there. He posted on social media after the incident in a way that I could assume he's physically alright, but my heart's hurting for him and and everyone attacked.

I'm just going to hope that you're saying this having not seen the other angles, because it's perfectly clear what happened.

Edit: Nevermind that..

 

[Frozenprince]

Hate Muslims, use ISIS tactics. Hmm.

You should sell your car and use public transportation.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Not seeing even a scratch on this car from any kind of previous harassment.

 

[mike6467]

God I don't think I can handle Trump's comments now. I might go cool off, play some Splatoon and fucking come back to get angry later. Too much.

Edit: Definitely plates on that car.

"panic".

 

[APZonerunner]

The video of the car that starts further up the road and catches it cruising along as it approaches the group from a decent distance couldn't be more clear - unless there was a car fault or a seizure or something that held their foot to the accelerator at the worst possible moment, this was not a mistake.

 

[Barry Burton]

Come on guys, FlutterPuffs is just asking questions...

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I hear Vichy France is lovely this time of year.

I'm not even white honey, or American. Muslim even.

I'll wait for the reports on this.

I've once pored over all the reports over the Boston Bombing, and bought the stupid internet detectives conclusion that a missing boy was probably the culprit. Made me feel shit for a week.

I'm not going to do that mistake again. I'd rather be proven wrong than putting my foot down over something when I'm not even in the general vicinity.

 

[BTA]

Fuck.

Fuck these nazis and everyone who's enabled this. Ugh.

 

[Mortemis]

Fuckers like this poster and cops are gonna make sure to come to the defense of this, and then the judges and/or jury who will feel for the driver are gonna let him off.

That's america.

 

[giga]

Aiming straight for the black man I see.

 

[Princess Carl]

Enough cops killed for free and some people now believe they don't need a badge to do the same.

 

[SolidSnakex]

You can definitely expect it to be infuriating if you want him to outright condemn white supremacists. His tweet already gave you a hint of what to expect. Vague comments without outright condemnation of what happened or who caused it.

 

[franknbeans]

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not anymore

I've seen it happen before. But in this situation, it looks like the car got at least a half block head start outside of the crowd before it rammed into the people

We're not suspect hunting here. The equivalent to the Boston marathon bombing would be doubting that the bomb was malicious.

Lord.

And of course it has out-of-state plates

What absolute fucking slop.

 

[Dishwalla]

Theres no one even around the car, unless he was driving away from a crowd, which I mean if that was the case then why would he be driving towards another crowd?

 

[Frozenprince]

Hey at least we know this terrorist will go free.

America the great.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

If only there was a way to drive around a group of people without running them over

like using a different road

 

[Bronx-Man]

He rammed into them twice.

 

[Stead Fast]

The video of the car that starts further up the road and catches it actively accelerating as it approaches the group couldn't be more clear - unless there was a car fault or a seizure or something that held their foot to the accelerator at the worst possible moment, this was not a mistake.

His next set of excuses for this, no doubt. Many people cannot, absolutely cannot allow an argument for extreme right-wing hatred leading to terrorist attacks to exist. There is always an alternative. Anything, not to associate white-skinned Americans with the T word.

Guys, crap like this is obviously alt accounts

 

[ZeoVGM]

Holy FUCK @ him being scared and this not being malicious.

 

[Beefy]

That actually crushed my soul a little bit more than I should've let it.

Of course the police think that. Why did I allow myself to think they would treat this with the gravity it deserves?

Don't believe that person. Look at the tweets

What are you even saying? "Fake Photo"?

edit oooh, got it, you're talking about car damage

 

[sappyday]

So no confirmed deaths so far right? I really hope so

First of all, I'm not your honey. So, you can shove that up your ass.

Secondly, I don't care if you are white, American or Muslim. What do any of those things have to do with what I said?

 

[RumbleHumble]

fucking hell lads, settle down. If he did mow the people down intentionally we all will find out.

And yeah, I've seen the videos.

We did. It's in the fucking video. Can you come up with a reason why this isn't intentional attempted murder? You privy to some other evidence Gaf don't know about?

 

[Dishwalla]

What are you even saying? "Fake Photo"?

No I'm saying the driver being scared from some confrontation is b.s.

 

[Dangansona]

That photo tells the whole story. Thank goodness someone got it. Also crazy how it is nearly entirely white people marching down the street.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

This is absolutely horrible.

Just... fuck.

 

[Frozenprince]

Alright. Fuck it. Let's go with it. Scared and didn't mean too.

Then why did they take the fuck off and drive away, then abandon the car and run until the police caught them and not turn themselves in?

You can't use bullshit Reddit detectives to defend giving this person the benefit of the doubt in the face of video showing the vehicle accelerating down a largely empty street towards a mass of people. Your skepticism only indicates an eagerness to provide the driver cover for his actions.
