It takes a pretty serious lack of patience to drive a truck into a crowd

Not if they’re banging on the windows, pulling on the doors and trying to drag you out of it.

The video showing that is pretty clear that none of that happened. They drove around a corner and into the crowd.

Maybe multiple cases are being conflated here. In the case of the cab hauling the FedEx trailers where one attacker got caught in a rear wheel, the truck had stopped, but multiple people climbed onto the cab and tried to break in while members of the crowd shouted, "set it on fire!".

Yeah, sucks for them because they seem to be blamed for a crime that they had nothing to do with

Yeah I feel bad for the folks who get so upset by the protests that they feel compelled to ram the crowds with their cars :(

> a bunch of assholes who are so sure that if they were in charge, things would be better

What an astute framing of the situation. I love the way you tie in the historical context that has led to this moment.

Thanks

How does that translate into shooting at reporters?
