After a California liberal plowed his car into a crowd of anti-vaccine protesters in an obvious attempt at mass murder, the police won’t classify it as a hate crime, just another common episode of “road rage.”
Controversy over car attack
When 64-year-old William Aslaksen “intentionally drove toward the protesters” in an attempt to run them over with his car, the liberals downplayed it as “road rage, which is a form of reckless driving.”
There shouldn’t be much controversy but there is. If a deplorable Trump supporter tried to mass murder some rainbow flag waving LGBTQ’s, protesting in favor of illegal alien amnesty, the FBI would swoop in with swat teams and file insurrection charges.
Aslaksen allegedly “argued with protesters at a rally before getting into his vehicle” on Saturday, October 23. He used his car, a Jeep Wrangler, as a weapon and struck an unidentified woman, described only as “in her 40’s.”
As reported by Deputy Trina Schrader, “a witness stated a man disagreed with the protest, entered his vehicle and intentionally drove toward the protesters.” Just another day in hippy-dippy California. “The suspect then drove away westbound and out of view.” It’s a good thing he did or the crowd would have given him the “Hawthorne” treatment. There, they dragged a similar criminal from his car and dispensed mob justice on the spot.
“It was all over in moments on Saturday, October 9, when the mob got their hands on the unidentified pickup driver who ran ‘his truck on the sidewalk and nearly hit a group of people.'” Why is it that progressives who demand everyone cater to their “feelings” have no tolerance at all for a difference of opinion. It’s either their way or violence.
All it took to trigger the snowflake into homicide by car is a “group of people had gathered in Southern California to protest coronavirus vaccine mandates.”
Arrested and booked
According to the LA Times, “Aslaksen was arrested about 90 minutes after the incident” which happened around “3:25 p.m. at the intersection of 10th Street West and Rancho Vista Boulevard.”
There’s no word on whether the car has been impounded as evidence but the Democrat domestic terrorist was “booked into the Sheriff’s Department’s Palmdale station on suspicion of felony assault.”
They’re holding him at least temporarily on $50,000 bond. After being hit by the speeding car, the injured victim was transported to a local hospital with injuries described as “not life-threatening.”
Liberal California press was quick to report “the case is likely to be seen as road rage.”
Trying to kill people with your car isn’t attempted vehicular homicide anymore. It’s not even domestic terrorism. “The reckless actions of Mr. Aslaken, which resulted in the victim’s injuries, can be described as road rage, which is a form of reckless driving.” At least that’s what the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration guidelines say.
Road rage “occurs when a driver commits a combination of moving traffic offenses to endanger other persons or property.” It happens so often nobody even notices so it’s doubtful that the maniac will be prosecuted. “Road rage is a factor in more than 50 percent of all car crashes that end in fatality, according to the AAA. Road rage episodes result in about 30 deaths and 1,800 injuries per year.”
