You can't be serious. That black man that killed the protestor on the freeway was in no way intentionally ramming into the people. He was driving along a freeway. He did his best to miss the people but they were everywhere! You think he did this ON PURPOSE? Are you for real? What's his motive?

You realize there's video of the incident at hand, right [1] (not safe for the squeamish)? You can see the driver drive by multiple obvious vehicles on the shoulder of the highway, then swerve into protesters. They weren't 'everywhere' as you claim, he literally drive right into them. He didn't 'do his best to miss them' by swerving into them. Anyone else in that exact situation would've seen the vehicles like that from a mile away and slowed down safely. This is before we even start talking about that the highway was closed and that he had to take an off-ramp onto it and then do a u-turn, which was corroborated by the police. Though I have a feeling you won't respond again after this. [1] https://twitter.com/4t4r11/status/1279470869774061568?s=20 https://twitter.com/4t4r11/status/1279470869774061568?s=20

  I did watch the video. I know the guy was likely speeding, and I don't know how he got onto the road. He swerved to miss the car on the road, lost control and hit two people. That's what I'm seeing in that video. Do I think he was TRYING to kill people? No. Definitely not. But let's wait for the court case I guess.

    He didn't swerve to miss the cars. At the start of the video he was already driving on the shoulder of the freeway (indicating that he clearly saw the cars on the road and chose to drive by them at high speeds). He wasn't even in the proper lane. Once he bypassed those cars, he then proceeded to swerve into the two protesters on the left hand side of his car. Rather than slamming on the breaks, he ran full speed into them. And again, per your own admission, he was speeding. On a freeway that was closed. Where he was caught with multiple cameras driving up the wrong entrance and then doing a U-Turn. Occam's Razor would indicate that this was not an accident at all because there's so many confounding factors that it would be absurd.

      You’re inventing a narrative. Available evidence suggests he didn’t set out to murder people, but I think little more is known. Unquestionably he was reckless and dangerous at a minimum (and the charges make sense to me). I don’t think it’s known why he went up the off ramp. Maybe drugs were involved (apparently police took something “that looked like meth” from the car, per an article I read). But bad assumptions, panic and confusion are also powerful. Just wait for the real story.

  Without giving my personal opinion on what this video shows, I think it's quite interesting that two people can come to totally opposite opinions about what it shows. I think you're probably both earnest in your opinions too.

    Very true. It must be hard to be a fair and impartial judge.
