I was holding back another lane of traffic. The protester had just moved into the street. the car could have waited. He was a jerk.
He hit a woman. She is released from the hospital with minor injuries.

the video from the side shows the wheel didn't go over her likes like this video shows. the news crew followed the car for quite awhile. The police didn't ticket him or arrest him, but when the news station called to find out why not they said they are using the video to decide what to do.

the rest of the protest went on without a hitch..

From reading something somewhere else I got the impression that it was crawling along, nudging people out of the way. Nope, self-reboot.

What an ass -- if the injury to that woman's leg is indeed "minor" as I read in another report, then I think maybe just 15 years in prison for this asshole would be about right

Here is a video that shows it from before it even decides to drive into the crowd

And another video -- much closer up, but doesn't show the beginning.
