Dawit Kelete, 30, pleads guilty to multiple charges after hitting two protesters, one fatally, during 2020 protest in Seattle
Just a reminder that less than a week before Trump took office, Fox posted a compilation video of cars running into protestors. Set to Ludacris’ Move, Bitch, Get Out da Way, they encouraged people to “Study the technique; it may prove useful in the next four years.” They only removed the article from their website seven months later, after Heather Heyer was murdered in Charlottesville.
The GOP repeatedly and continually practices stochastic terrorism, riling up their base and giving them targets to take their anger out on.
That’s their secret: they’re always afraid of everything
Not that different from shooting somebody if you are afraid for your life. A deadly weapon is a deadly weapon. It doesn’t stop people like Darryl Brooks from being total psychopaths and getting convicted.
Did we used to have morals and values or is society truly going down the shitter?
The right wing part of the united states has always been a shitfest. In the 60s they lynched black people because they wanted equal treatment. In the 30s they killed women when they got the right to vote. Before then they rebelled against the US and killed millions of Americans to try to keep slavery. Before then they burned women as witches… Basically they have been garbage humans forever.
Terrorist
Not really. Maybe you should actually read the article.
He drove his car the wrong way on the freeway to hit the girls. You can argue about the label terrorist, but he’s certianly a murderer .
On 4 July 2020, the Washington state patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way on to Interstate 5 in Seattle, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck both Taylor and Diaz Love.
Dawit Kelete’s a massive piece of shit but almost certainly not a terrorist. He most likely knew the interstate would be blocked off at night (it had been nightly for a week or two) and took the opportunity to go hot rodding in his car. He definitely knew he illegally went up an off ramp since he has lived here in Seattle for a couple decades. Terrorism implies he did it for political purposes. There is occasional beef between East African immigrants and the black community here but there is no evidence of that here and he has no history of that. He also does not have a history of harassing the LGBTQ community which Summer was a part of.
What is also certain is that he did not accidentally go up an offramp like shit heads on the right have suggested. He has lived in this city for over 20 years. That is not some unknown offramp he would be unfamiliar with. He knew what he was doing was illegal and it got someone killed.
Yeah, seems like all the articles written about the incident report on vehicular manslaughter, vehicular assult and wreckless driving.
Kelete’s attorney claims as much, “This tragic event was not a political act or statement," said attorney Francisco A. Duarte, who is representing Kelete
That said, it seems like you have a bit of community knowledge.
