    "The man left but returned and drove his truck onto the sidewalk, nearly hitting multiple people, according to the release. He eventually lost control of his car and struck a tree.

    Bystanders then tried to pull the man out of his truck but he was able to speed away before crashing into a building. The bystanders then pulled him out the car and a 'physical altercation ensued,' the release said.

    'Hawthorne Police officers saw the driver lying on the ground, suffering what appeared to be blunt force trauma,' the LASD said. 'Paramedics provided life-saving measures, but he was pronounced deceased on scene.'"

    Learn-2-drive right in hell, asshole. :hexcrab-party:

      suffering what appeared to be blunt force trauma

      they probably didn't even hurt him, the dumb ass got in 2 car crashes in a row, they just want to pin it on the protesters and make this attempted murderer a victim

        Even these CNN people kept it vague and explicitly said that his death could have been caused simply by the two car crashes he got in. It's definitely weird, but I actually feel like the media's not actually trying to spin this as the truck guy being the victim this time.

          if that were the case the headline probably would have mentioned him attacking pedestrians first instead of him being attacked first, the headline at least is sympathetic in its framing considering the inciting incident was him trying to kill people by running them over
