A left-wing supporter of the Justin Trudeau government drove his vehicle into the protest group last night injuring four people in Winnipeg, Canada.
The unidentified white male driver of the Jeep was arrested after he attempted to flee the scene. Leftist media are silent because the incident runs counter to their political narrative. All speech the liberal Canadian party does not support, they call violence. However, all violence the liberal Canadian party does support, they call speech.
Winnipeg police constable Rob Carver described the suspect as a 42-year-old man from Headingley who is now facing several charges, including assault with a weapon, dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm, and failing to stop at the scene of an accident. However, this wasn’t an accident.
It is clear from the dashboard video of a truck parked adjacent to the attack, that the targeting of the protest group was intentional. The Jeep swerved into the crowd and sped up as he approached the people. The driver appears to have been intentionally targeting the freedom protestors who were there.
Global News Canada has more details:
[…] “Officers were told initially that a westbound Jeep Patriot had driven through a group of protesters before speeding off west down Portage Avenue.
With help from Mounties, city police say the vehicle eventually came to a stop in the 4800 block of Portage Avenue where the driver was arrested “after a brief struggle.”
[…] Carver said he didn’t know exactly how fast the vehicle was travelling at the time, only that “it was moving at a fairly decent clip, and it’s pretty miraculous no one sustained any serious injuries.”
He went on to say police had limited traffic on Broadway down to one lane in either direction as of Saturday, but defended the decision to not close off that section of street entirely.
“First of all, there are people who want to be part of this protest and are coming to the area for that reason. We need to facilitate their ability to peacefully protest,” Carver said.
“We also need to make sure that people can get in and out of that area, and the general downtown area, for regular commutes or emergency needs … We’re trying to balance those needs with making it safe, but still allowing some vehicular traffic.” (read more)
