Yes. He swerved to avoid a child and is getting charged for it.

Funny how you hear about right-wingers doing shitty things, and immediately find excuses and denial for it.
He was probably a Soros-funded stooge, pretending to be a right-winger, so he could make right-wingers look bad.

Or maybe it never happened at all. Just left-wing propaganda.

Or maybe they aren't releasing the video b/c it's part of a police investigation.
You know, all that crazy law stuff that they do when someone commits an act of terrorism...

Funny how you hear a right winger did something and you assume the worse. There very well might be a good reason the charge was assault vs attempted murder, but you assume somebody is letting this guy off easy.

So the gov't accessing it's own systems and (potentially) looking at information that it already has is a violation of privacy??? Do these idiots even think about what they say before they say it? I'm curious what they want to hide from the taxpaying public. Then "they" wonder why people want Dept of Ed blown up, while simultaneously wanting the same organization to be exempt from opening it's books.

I'm afraid it is. Funny how the law works.
You see, I can access your tax records, but I can't just do it if I feel like it, without your consent.

Privacy laws are funny in that they protect privacy.

Interesting. Since libs are bent out of shape about the gov't looking at "personal data" that the gov't already has access to, I wonder if the left will be up in arms about the sale of "our" most personal data.

23andMe Starts Chapter 11 Process, Co-Founder Steps Down as CEO

23andMe Holding Co., which provides medical and ancestry-related genetic testing, filed for bankruptcy after it was unable to find a buyer to rescue it from insolvency proceedings and the board of directors rejected a buyout offer from co-founder Anne Wojcicki.

Not at all. I've seen several videos of cars being driven through crowded protests or crowded parking lots (ie after an NFL game) and death was neither intended nor an expected outcome.

Pitting a 5,000 lb car against a 200 lb human, and you expect the human to win?

Unless it's a Cybertruck that can't even handle an impact with a VW bug, that imbalance is a murder attempt.

With all the leaps of logic Rob makes, for some reason he couldn't make this one.

It's a leap of logic to think any surveillance video would be grabbed by LE, and the company that has it would be told not to release it?

But yeah, I'm sure the incident never happened. A big made up story just to make MAGATS look bad.

The world is one big conspiracy.

Lets give up the pretense that is about protecting privacy. I have access to tons of medical records, just like you have access to tax records. We are expected to act accordingly and legally with our access. Some court doesn't step in and block our access because, "Oh no, gotta protect people's privacy." At least be honest about what the left is up to. No different than the Deutsche Bank fraud case - the State of NY could careless if Deutsche got defrauded, that was just a pretense to pursue Trump and this is just another pretense.

Are you deluded? I was in the Patty's day parade, with also sorts of cars in crowds of humans and there was no "attempt to murder." If for example, the driver was going 5mph and just forcing his way thru a crowd, that is incredibly different driving 50mph into a crowd. You're making an assumption that the driver was a right winger and wanted to injure or kill people in that crowd, but you don't know that or if you do, you haven't bothered posting the information that would allow others to draw a similar conclusion.

Opps, that was my first Bloomberg article in a while so I didn't get the pay wall.

So you're saying your hospital doesn't do anything to protect patient privacy?
No such thing as a data breach since it's not locked down?

How do you compare data privacy laws with Trump committing financial fraud on a felony level?

So he was just being a parade float?

Can you politely go eff yourself?

Can you at least consider it?
