Dallas police say pickup intentionally crashed into FOX4 studio; suspect ranted about 'treason'

Source: Dallas Morning News

A pickup apparently crashed intentionally into the KDFW-TV (Channel 4) studios in downtown Dallas on Wednesday morning, police said.

Police responded to the 400 block of North Griffin Street just after 6 a.m. Anchors continued with their morning news report and calmly described what was happening as a man got out of his truck after the crash and started to rant.

He scattered papers everywhere and mentioned treason during his rants, FOX4 reporter Brandon Todd said.

The station also reported that a suspect is in custody and a suspicious bag was found at the scene. Most of the building was evacuated except for a skeleton crew who kept the station on air.

a showdown is coming and I'm not talking just about upcoming elections. With their idiot-in-chief calling for violence if Democrats win in overwhelming numbers in November, which I suspect is a great possibility, and Mueller slowly closing in on the con-in-chief and New York state prosecutors closing in on the First-grifter-family, this is all that will be left for these crooks to call upon. Bought a lot of popcorn.

a showdown is coming. Unfortunately I don't think we are going to have time to be entertained by it.

I can fight off with my walker and on a good day, my cane. Otherwise, I will be eating popcorn.

Amerika has had long enough to marginalize, completely, the racist forces of american citizenry that hate others based on skin color, culture, sexual orientation or goddam religion or their ability to tell these forces of hate to fuck off. We have now reaped what has been sown for 350+ years. I will eat popcorn and watch this on my internet where possible. I have seen strung up human beings, as a fucking child, I fought Confederates in Vietnam. Have fought against people alleged to be members of my own Party, which I still respect and many don't, internally and external true. I have watched the spouting of hypocrisy run rife in our politics. I am seeing violence called upon by the idiot potus. I am watching the SC turned into a political vehicle slanted toward one Party ONLY for at least a generation to come.

The "chickens have come home to roost" and they are squatting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wash. D.C. I am going to let myself off the stress train soon, sit back, after I vote, and watch how this hypocrisy and racist madness plays out. I have been fighting since the late 60's against the forces of hate and in 2008, we had a victory. In 2016 the racist white people of this nation and their surrogates from all cultures, races, sexes and sexual orientation, with the massive help of outside foreign influence, came back into office with a vengeance with a clear message. WE ARE IN CHARGE AGAIN!!!!!

I am not going to worry anymore. I outside of voting in November will be eating a lot of goddamn popcorn.

The image you posted showed someone who is really, really sick. How can there be enough deeply sick people to keep him in business? What a monstrosity.



Something is horribly wrong in this country.

This 2012 incident seems to have cracked Michael Fry.

(Or, it's possible he was already mentally disturbed, but I'm sure this didn't help.)
