The man charged in Winnipeg for an attack on a convoy protest is a radical far-left anarchist. Police, however, are still treating the incident as a hit-and-run, rather than a hate crime.
Four people taking part in a convoy protest in Manitoba's capital city were injured and rushed to hospital after a car plowed into the crowd. The man alleged to be the driver of the vehicle, Dave Zegarac, was taken into custody an hour later after a brief struggle with police. A white jeep can be seen hitting one person, before accelerating and hitting three more.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms today sent a letter to the city of Ottawa advising that Justice Centre lawyers are in Ottawa representing the “Freedom Convoy 2022″ and outlining efforts being made by the Freedom Convoy to maintain safety and security during the peaceful protest.
The Chief of Ottawa Police, the Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner, and the Parliamentary Police Service Superintendent are copied on the letter.
The Justice Centre was recently advised that during the first few days of the truckers’ peaceful protest in Ottawa, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras were offline entirely, and remain off.
“These cameras do not actually show what is happening on the ground in downtown Ottawa. For safety reasons we strongly urge you to remedy this situation and restore live feed from those CCTV cameras. It is imperative that law enforcement and the public have access to video footage, in order to know what is actually occurring in and around the protest,” stated Eva Chipiuk, staff lawyer at the Justice Centre.

I absolutely don't condone this behavior, but I seem to recall a lot of people on here saying the running over protesters that are disrupting traffic is justified. Hell, the Republican state governments of Oklahoma, Iowa, and Florida have even passed laws that seek to protect drivers that run over protesters.
So the persecution complex seems a bit fake when so many on the Right were celebrating the kinds of actions when the positions were reversed.

I have been waiting for something like this to happen either by state sponsored idiots or idiots working for other idiots. The longer the truckers and people stay, the more they will need to be on guard IMO.

So, at what point does it become morally right to run over protesters en masse regardless of if they're taken part in any destructive behavior?
