Police say there's no evidence that he was fleeing anything, and that his intention was to cause mayhem and death.
So the questions naturally arise:
- Is this a case of domestic terrorism?
- Since the alleged perp had posted about hating white people is this a racist attack?
- If #2 is right, then is it a hate crime?
- When will Lyin' Joe condemn it as he did Rittenhouse, rather than "waiting for all information to come in"?
If #2 is correct, how soon before it disappears from the news cycle except for Fox?

Saw an interview this morning with an off-duty EMT that was attending the parade. She was pretty pumped about getting to go, because for all previous parades, she was either driving an ambulance or riding a fire truck in the parade.
She was closer to the start line, so when she saw the red suv drive by, she thought it was an undercover or unmarked police vehicle responding to something, since it was driving with purpose. It was when she heard the screams that she knew something bad had happened. She was one of the first responders on the scene and said it was surreal, like something out of a movie...In her career, she had never seen anything like this level of traumatic injury and death.

There was an air of hope and desperation to the original corporate media reports that he was fleeing from some other incident. Now their only choice is to memory hole this. It won’t be hard.
In the discussion I listened to recently between the two progressive white women on the NYT podcast, where the thesis was about the existential threat of white supremacy, one piece of data the two ladies were proud of was the tally of bodies attributable to either side. Antifa/BLM or white supremacists. Their tally for BLM was 2. For white supremacists, they were counting Oklahoma City among other incidents and the death count was much higher. I am sure they will manage to not count this incident as leftist terrorism.

Visit the CNN mobile site and see how far you have to scroll to find this story. Hint: it’s under a story about the ethics of boiling lobsters

On CNN's main website, there's a story about the dancing grannies that got run over. Also a story called Analysis: there's nothing more scary in America than an angry white man. The two stories get roughly equal billing.
This is why sensationalism isn't as good an explanation for how corporate media reports its news, as tribalism is. They want clicks of course, but they appeal to tribalism foremost in that effort. A car running over a crowd is sensational, but it makes their intended audience feel badly about their tribe, so the sensational story is smothered.

Every time those guys get a hit makes them less likely to change.

It is an act of courage and intellectual curiosity to observe the culture one lives in.
Education is extremely important.

Riiiight. That's why everybody sits glued to their chairs watching shit on TV. They're heroes!
Edit - sorry, not meaning to go off on a tangent. This thing is just awful, it deserves decent coverage.

Yeah, so are claims of white supremacy and the entirety of the leftist race narrative. Which are completely mainstream pop culture narratives. Hyperbolic bullshit is not a disqualifier for an idea being accepted by the masses.

In fact, few of us do say anything against the mainstream leftist race narrative. The whole culture is terrified of the retribution against sniffing of being racist.

No issue with me. I think the current leftist pop culture race narrative is bullshit too. Not shoved down our throats to the extent is south of the 49th, but the indigenous reconciliation crap we have a daily dose or more of here is just plain false.
It’s all bullshit, everything.
