New video of car plowing into protesters. That thing looked like a tank. Blackened windows.

It slammed into the rear of another car, driving it and a third car into the crowd, then screeched backward and at least seemed to try to leave. Not clear if it did.

After seeing it I have no doubt it was terrorism, pure and simple brutal thuggish terrorism.

The streets are narrow and full of people even without protests.

And it was a crowd of mostly white people. He just seems to me like someone who may not have been politically motivated but just frustrated with all the commotion going on in an area where there normally isn't any, and area maybe where he lives or works.

Ill just wait for all the facts. I think it could be either reason, or it could even be a combination of both.
