ICE and MAGA violence: high-school protester run down
It’s not just ICE thugs who show contempt for the lives and limbs of those who dare protest against their racist war on peaceful people. It’s the whole of MAGA.
Video footage from Nebraska shows a red SUV flying a Trump flag drives at and hits a young high-school girl. The victim is flung aside then the coward behind the wheel speeds off. The children were protesting against the ICE gestapo trying to terrorise minority communities around the US:
Nebraska is a red state — i.e. Republican. Its governor Jim Pillen issued an appalling statement implying that by protesting, the students had provoked the violence — though he added that it was “never okay”:
Here’s a fundamental truth we should all agree upon: Political violence — no matter what — is never okay.
Police say they know the identity of the attacker, also a juvenile, and are ‘investigating’.
Fremont Public Schools said school administrators had been supervising the protest at the time of the attack, then:
At one point, a few students entered the street. One student was hit by a car that stopped in front of the crowd and then began moving. We value our relationship with our first responders and their help today. We will continue to work together to keep our students and community safe.
The victim is now reportedly “recovering at home with bumps and bruises”.
