I have BLM 25 miles away this evening in Boise. I just never thought it would be here. I put off going into Boise to buy a couple book cases tonight, and I think it was a good choice.
Trump should insist the FBI throw on federal charges. They could send at least a couple of the football team of agents normally assigned to check out a Nascar garage because there was a garage door and we know how dangerous those can be.
Well, hang out here more. You've been here since 2002.
I meant in the real world.
A few more details.
What was the hit and run?
(snip)
About 100 people had gathered on Center Street about 6:30 p.m. Monday to protest. The event remained peaceful until about 8:40 p.m. when the shooting and a hit-and-run were reported.
On Tuesday, Provo police requested cellphone videos of the incident from witnesses.
“We are grateful for the photos and videos we’ve received and we are following all leads. If anyone has video or photos of the incident at Center Street and University Avenue, please contact detective Patterson at npatterson@provo.org,” police said in a statement.
Video shot by KSL-TV recorded what appears to be a man with his face concealed pointing a handgun at the SUV on the passenger side of the vehicle. The “popping” sound of shots being fired can be heard in the video.
About 50 minutes after the shooting, tensions remained high as cars continued to drive through the lines of protesters, prompting some to jump onto the vehicles and hit the windows. Demonstrators marched to the Provo Police Department and were met with officers in riot gear. Amid calls to disperse and threats of arrest from police, protesters chanted, “Hands up, don’t shoot.”
By 10 p.m., most of the crowd had dispersed after a woman with a megaphone, who was one of the organizers of the protest, told everyone to go home.
King Tuesday night emphasized the investigation into incidents during the protest is not over, saying “we do want to urge people with information of anyone who was involved in damage to other vehicles to still please contact detective Nick Patterson.

We need to up the value of the stupid prizes. Then pull the we can play this game and dox their parents and ask if it safe to have radical terrorists in their place of business and stick camera’s in front of the parents and ask if they support shooting random people for no reason like their son?
Good luck with this. The FBI will never touch their darling antifa pals. Now if we try anything the FBI will send legions after us.Trump should insist the FBI throw on federal charges.

I don't think he'll like prison much, given how the gangs pretty much all hate antifa pukes
GITMO
No GITMO, either Marion supermax or a new facility in the middle of federal land in the Nevada desert.
How come they didn't round up all of them and apply RICO? Oops, didn't see Helen had made the same suggestion.Trump should insist the FBI throw on federal charges.

Are there really that many parents out there who never once told their kids ' don't play in the street, you might get ran over'?A few more details.

All of 5he local news stations are saying that the driver hit a protester so the shooting was justified.
You bet. It was only a week ago they (The FBI) lined up in front of the building and took a knee for AntiFa.Good luck with this. The FBI will never touch their darling antifa pals. Now if we try anything the FBI will send legions after us.

Man shoots motorist during Black Lives Matter protest in Provo Utah.
The suspect drawing his gun. Social media screengrab.
A man shot and wounded a motorist during a Black Lives Matter protest in Provo Utah. KSL. The incident occurred when a motorist who was not involved in the protest or any counter-protest tried to turn where the rally was occurring. Protesters surrounded the vehicle and started to attack it while the suspect pulled out a gun and fired a shot, hitting the 60 year old driver. The driver then attempted to flee, scattering the protesters, while the attacker fired a 2nd shot, missing the driver. The gunman then holstered his firearm and then used it again to attack another vehicle by hitting its window with the gun. The driver has been hospitalized and is in stable condition.
My Comment:
This is a major escalation from Black Lives Matter. These people were already violent and have been attacking motorists for quite some time now. But now they have stepped up to attempted murder. The driver in this case was very lucky that he wasn't killed. So far in this round of protests there hasn't been that much open violence but I guess that has changed now.
It was pretty clear that these protesters were out of control before this incident even happened. Below is another incident of a car being attacked by them. It shows people climbing on their cars and trying to get inside. The driver, very wisely, didn't stop and didn't give them a chance to do what they did to the driver that got shot.
I think that it's pretty clear that the driver in the first video didn't do anything wrong. He wasn't moving anywhere near fast enough that the shooter could claim self defense or defense of others. Indeed, the rioters attacked the driver first and the shooter had no justification in trying to stop the driver even if he ran someone down.
I can't imagine people stopping for these protests now. Why would you? If you do it's possible that you will get shot or beaten. Much better to just keep going and if people get hurt it's on them. Let's make something clear though, I'm not advocating doing what James Alex Fields did and running down protesters at high speed. That's stupid in all but the most dire situations, but I do think it's important to not stop if people are trying to get into your car.
I generally think that any protest that involves people on streets without a permit should be broken up as unlawful. The danger of people getting hit by cars is too strong even if the protesters are behaving themselves and not trying to murder innocent motorists. The chances of that happening are extremely small though as most cities have decided to let these rioters run wild.
Of course, this kind of outcome is expected when police aren't allowed to break up protests or even arrest the kind of people that are causing trouble. Eventually people are going to get killed and we seem to be getting closer and closer to that everyday.
My advice would be this. Do whatever you can to avoid areas where this kind of protest is happening. If it can't be avoided, don't stop your vehicle if at all possible. If you have to leave plenty of room between you and the next car so you at least have a chance to maneuver. If people are attacking you feel free to keep going. I'd avoid slamming the accelerator but leave as fast as you can as safely as you can, both for you and any rioters attacking you. Do whatever is necessary to keep yourself alive, but keep in mind that you might face prosecution if you kill or injure someone.

Um, they do what they're told. And - unfortunately, the Democrats have taken on the mantle of the Marxists - and the Democrats aren't telling, except to say "don't hurt them" - or even less.They have the luxury of "we don't feel like responding".
You can see how they are trying to use the "attacks" of the SUV as justification. The fact they were attempting to block and capture the SUV is not part of the conversation. It simply becomes, the SUV tried to kill several of us. Hardly!View attachment 206358

More here, if you want to look through it:
Sorry! If they contain me in a mob and get pushy, I am going to fight back! With guns.This changes things, now if masked up mobs suddenly surround your car, and if there's any hostility causing you to fear for your life... it is best to floor it.
You won't know who is going to shoot, or from where they'll shoot from, so get just outta there as fast as you can, if you stop your odds of being shot go up drastically.
I wouldn't bother with using a gun, the left would LOVEZ a mass shooter at a peaceful protest..don't be that guy.
Hey! I have an alley gun apparently!Superior firepower is the key. Just remember shooting from inside a vehicle is going to be extremely loud. Another idea is train drawing from your holster in your seat with your belt on. If it’s difficult then you may want a different holster or an alley gun. We called a pistol in between the seats our alley gun because it was extremely fast to draw and shoot.
Train like you life depends on it because it just may very soon.
Um, they do what they're told. And - unfortunately, the Democrats have taken on the mantle of the Marxists - and the Democrats aren't telling, except to say "don't hurt them" - or even less.
It's all marketed under "FEELZ." Not individual right. Not property right. Not free speech.
The police are by in large pissed, and dis-spirited from this.
And, unfortunately for "Rule of Law" the Joe 6Ps of the world who count on the police for keeping what is theirs are getting pissed and dis-spirited too. Some won't roll over so easily. Like the couple in the St. Louis high end neighborhood.
And, those Democrats supported by the MEEDIA will hassle their asses for doing what legally they are able to do.
"Property is 9/10th of the Law."
If the Provo rally had been Trump Sympathizers and a car attempted passage to be bumped by one - and then shot at by one - the entire march would have been shut down and EVERYONE put into the pokey. And the headlines would read "Trump Support March Shows Their Violent Intent."
As it is being reported "Peaceful Marchers Hit & Run by White Supremacist - Defensive Shots Fired."
It is a conspiracy - but none dare call it that because the conspiracy is succeeding.

Wonder if Taggart will be fired from his job in SLC? We heard recently that the step mom of the Atlanta cop was fired from her job. We've seen other stories where people are fired just for knowing others who oppose this mess.27 and looks like a hag already. Yikes !!

Me I think not. If you don’t want to get run over then don’t be standing on the road way, period.
