Protesters turned on man in car
Columbus Dispatch ^ | 7/8/2020 | By Jim Woods

Posted on 07/09/2020 11:12:49 AM PDT by NohSpinZone

On the evening of May 31, Eldon Hawkins unwittingly drove his burgundy 2010 Buick LaCrosse sedan into the heart of a protest at Broad and High streets and unleashed a furious response.

Hawkins, 58, who has cerebral palsy, said he was left shaken by the experience, and damage to his car topped $8,000. He spoke about what happened during Monday’s Columbus City Council meeting.

Columbus police on Wednesday afternoon released a compilation of videos of the incident, which occurred around 7 p.m. Police are asking for help in identifying who might have been involved.

When are we going to say "enough"? Attacking a guy with cerebral palsy for the "crime" of driving through the wrong street after getting lunch. Despcicable.

Guess it is just too much to ask for the police in rat infested cities to actually arrest criminals in the act during a riot, which is happening nightly in the same location.

You should understand that no one is safe from the MOB. You can’t reason with it, your only hope is to avoid it, comply with it, or be punished by it.

Unfair, but reality. As the Chinese say, “The nail that sticks up gets hammered down” If you’re the nail, get ready for the hammer!

“Columbus police on Wednesday afternoon released a compilation of videos of the incident,
...”

Cops watched it all unfold on TV and did nothing...just like the statules. Defund them.

The incident happened on May 30th. The police are addressing this just now?

The President needs to order Homeland Security to create and “Amber Alert” type system that informs citizens when and where Democrats are attacking people in the street.

“When are we...?”

When the notion of a vague we is replaced with the commitment of individuals.

In fear for your life, tap the horn and move slowly, but continuously forward=. Don’t stop for anything or anyone until you are no longer threatened. Then drive directly to the nearest police station to report the attack ... on you.

That is a very fair point. The best place to hurt these fools would be on Nov. 3 but even that looks grim right now.

Just checked Edmunds and a 2010 LaCrosse with a typical 100,000 miles on it had a dealer retail of $4800, so the mob totaled it.
