Yeah poorly written. What I gathered was..
Non-violent leftist had been drinking and ran over violent right wing kid because he disagreed with the kids politics. The violent right wing kid was out to get the leftist.
You forgot the part where the violent right wing kid was running FROM the non-violent leftist because...(?)
“violent right wing kid”
Not my understanding the kid was violent.
Leftist felt this was his duty, after SloJoe calling out all of the ultra MAGA extremists, being “enemies of the state”.
In some places, leftist would be exonerated, based on “self defense”.
