The AP is calling the riots/protests “largely peaceful.” They also inaccurately reported that a tanker truck driver deliberately sped onto a bridge blocked by hundreds of protesters. They are wrong on both counts.
“Protesters took to the streets across America again Sunday, with violence flaring in pockets of largely peaceful demonstrations fueled by the killings of black people at the hands of police. A truck driver โ apparently deliberately โ drove into demonstrators in Minneapolis nearly a week after George Floyd pleaded with an officer pressing a knee into his neck that he could not breathe,” the AP reported.
The Minnesota police said the driver was provoking protesters and was arrested, according to the AP. As it turns out, that was not true.
We have a big update on this.ย There is no evidence the driver, 35-year-oldย Bogdan Vechirko, was intentionally trying to hurt anyone according to the Minnesota Department of Safety.
He might have been going too fast but was already on the I-35 as police were closing the ramps.
He panicked when he saw all the people.
“We do have some info that he saw the crowd and initially he panicked and he just kept barreling forward.
“Then he saw a young woman on a bike fall down in front of him and he slammed on the brakes. And he slid until the vehicle stopped.”
Meanwhile, the loons dragged him out of his truck and beat him until some normal protesters intervened.
He said he feels incredibly lucky to be alive and to not have killed anyone.
Itโs not known if he will be charged with anything.
He doesnโt look like heโs speeding in this clip to me. He was driving highway speed.

PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT IN THE “LARGELY PEACEFUL” PROTESTS
In the “largely peaceful” protests in Portland, a man who took a swing at aย Black Lives Matter or Antifa protester, was chased, knocked over, and kicked in the head. At least one tooth was knocked out of his head. Listen to the horrifying kick to the man’s head.
One woman yelled, โYou knocked his motherf*cking ass down,โ adding the victim was a “faggot.’
She said, “Black Lives Matter, you faggot. Youโre lucky weโre helping you. Weโre helping you, alright? Weโre showing up for you. Do Not Protest Against Black Lives. Guess what? Weโre showing up for you even though youโre being terrible to people.”
She and two other black women wiped off the blood on his face while bystanders yelled, โYou shouldnโt be running your mouth off like that!โ and โRunning your mouth get you f**ked up, man!โ
The man was dazed and thanked his attackers for helping him.
Watch the incident, which came as part of the “largely peaceful” protests:
Kicked in the head laying lifeless on the street
A man had his teeth literally knocked out by Portland rioters

The largely peaceful demonstrators are showing up in New York, Huntington Beach, Yonkers, Minneapolis, and other cities.
Oh, and they are calling for a violent revolution. Twitter has not marked or censored the tweets in any way.
Do you want a revolution? You could have had a political revolution. Now you’re going to get a REAL revolution. https://t.co/Zqq68S3AxL

“do you want a revolution” is trending and GOD YES, FUCKING YES I DO. Burn it down, lets do as the song says, lets bring about a new world from the ashes of the old. We can do better, we – the working classes, LGBT people, people of colour, Black and Brown people – DESERVE better

Many do come from out of the area. They are being bussed in and they are funded by someone(s).
Antifa, BLM and other โAgitorgsโ are setting up already in Huntington Beach CA. They are all being bussed and imported in- these agitators do NOT live in the cities they are coming in to destroy. Theyโre putting on a show & they are taking โstage orders.โ At our expense of course pic.twitter.com/QhmeJ2ksEy
