Authorities in Massachusetts are investigating an incident where a car crashed through the front of a store selling pro-Trump merchandise, injuring one person.
The Easton Police Department said Thursday the driver of a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta suffered non-life-threatening injuries when he drove into the New England for Trump store on Washington Street.
A camera inside the store recorded the crash and police later uploaded the video to social media. The incident took place at approximately 5:10 p.m.
An employee standing at the front door is just feet away from the area of the impact as the car smashes through the front wall, the video of the crash appears to show. The vehicle came to a rest about 20 feet into the store.
"The vehicle was operated by Sean Flaherty, age 46 of Raynham, MA, who was later transported to Good Samaritan Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries," Deputy Chief Keith Boone said.
"At this time Flaherty has been charged with reckless operation of a motor vehicle and malicious destruction of property," he added. "Additional charges may follow."

He should be charged with attempted murder. If I was the patron that almost got run over. The driver's statement implicated him and is totally bunk. When you drive a car THROUGH a store with employees and patrons inside and say you heard voices, I think you are definitely in a weak position. They should charge him accordingly, lock him up and discourage people from doing this again.
> reckless operation of a motor vehicle and malicious destruction of property,
How about attempted murder?
Suggestion to owner: Run a 1/4” aircraft cable across that window at chin height.

I can't believe you said that!
That is just wrong.
You would need at least 3/8 inch, wouldn't you?
Is this not a hate crime?
I watched the video a few times. Didn’t the guy in the store, after the car entered, run over to the door appearing to lock it? Why with a hole in the wall right next to it he size of car? And why did the idiot use a car when an SUV would have been more printable? Must have been a hybrid.
