Tman sends us a link to an article from SF Gate<\/a> which describes an encounter between a motorist and some OWS protesters in Oakland last night in which two protesters suffered leg and ankle injuries. The story was written backwards, so I’ll correct that here’<\/p>\n

[BART Police Deputy Chief Daniel] Hartwig said witnesses had differing accounts of what happened, with some saying the driver appeared to have gunned the Mercedes into the victims in frustration and others saying he had been provoked by activists pounding on his car.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it looks pretty likely that protesters were attempting to damage the gentleman’s car and he tried to evade them. But the original article made it sound as if he merely plowed into the crowd. <\/p>\n

BART police officers who were guarding nearby transit stations responded, questioned the driver and several witnesses, then let the driver leave the scene at 11th Street and Broadway in his car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the driver left, many in the crowd yelled at him and at police, saying he should have stayed at the scene or been arrested.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So the justice crowd wants to be judge and jury. The only justice is what they want and there’s no room for innocent until proven guilty. Nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
