man, allegedly a correctional officer, drove a pickup truck into
a group of Jewish peaceful demonstrators protesting outside the Wyatt
Detention Center in Rhode Island on Wednesday night.
Hundreds of Jewish protesters, mostly members of Never Again
Action, a group that advocates for the rights of migrants detained by
ICE, gathered outside the Donald W. Wyatt Detention facility in Central
Falls on Wednesday evening. The protesters stood blocking the entrance
of the facility, linking arms while chanting for the abolition of ICE
and the end to America's harsh immigration policies.
At around 10 p.m. local time, a dark-colored pickup truck drove
slowly up to a group of roughly 40-50 protesters blocking the entrance
to the location's parking lot, before driving straight through the
crowd, according to a video uploaded to Twitter.

A man, allegedly a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
officer, driving a truck rammed into a crowd of peaceful protesters
blocking the Wyatt Detention Center in Rhode Island on Wednesday.

Amy Anthony, one of the protest's organizers, told Newsweek that
the group has identified the man driving the truck as a correctional
officer. "We have confirmed that the person driving the truck is a
correctional officer who works for the detention facility," she said.
"The driver was in his uniform when he hit the protestors. His rank and
name were embroidered on his shirt and he was wearing a badge at the
time."
Never Again Action claimed in a tweet that the truck belonged to
an "ICE guard," however later clarified that he was a correctional
officer in a press release.
Although Anthony says the group has obtained what they believe
to be the driver's name, they have yet to confirm with law enforcement
and has declined to provide details until his identity is officially
confirmed.
Videos of the incident showed protesters screaming in panic as
the car drove through the crowd. Shortly after the demonstrators began
chanting "The whole world is watching" as they gathered around the
truck.
Five protesters suffered non-life threatening injuries from
being hit by the truck, Anthony told Newsweek. Two of the protesters
were taken to hospital for their injuries. The extent of their injuries
are currently unknown.
A dozen officers came out of the facility after protesters
surrounded the truck and attempted to move the protesters, Anthony said.
When the crowd did not disperse, the officers used pepper spray on
several of the demonstrators, according to Anthony and a video of the
incident.
Anthony also said that state and local police were on the scene, but did nothing to stop the driver.
"I can say that neither the local police nor the state police
reacted in anyway to stop the driver or apprehend the driver or help the
crowd," she said. "The police did not do anything. They did not talk to
the driver, they did not try to apprehend him. Many protesters were
trying to give the police statements and they refused to take our
statements." She added that between 100 and 150 people witnessed the
attack.
Never Again Action also shared a video of the aftermath of the
incident to social media. "After the first ICE guard ran us over with
his truck, the rest of them ran over & pepper-sprayed us. The police
present just stood by and watched, doing nothing," the group tweeted.
"#NeverAgainMeans doing what it takes to #ShutDownICE. We'll be back."

Reddit libs absolutely flipping their lids about this, calling it attempted murder.
Looks to me like a bunch of people hiding in a crosswalk at
night time and acting surprised when a driver has to unexpectedly stop
to avoid hitting them, and then violently mobbing his vehicle.
Cartoon world.

eh,
he knew they were there. He drove up fairly quickly on them and braked
at the last second and honked, then crept forward slowly. Still fucking
hilarious, he didn't give a fuck about those idiots. They were utterly
shocked that someone would actually try to break through their
"barricade"

Hard to tell tbh.
He was making a right turn, but there were people in his right
lane (standing) and I'm sure he saw them, thus he makes a turn from a
further lane to avoid them. I'm not so sure he saw the people in the
crosswalk sitting down on the road he was turning onto, until he's about
to hit them.
He's rolling into work at 5AM in the dark, hard for me to tell
what he can and can't see, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was
focusing more on the standing people in the road he was turning from and
genuinely didn't see people sitting or laying on the road he's turning
into.
One thing is for certain, if he wanted to hit them, he surely could have.

I
think it is entirely possible he didn't realize people were sitting in
the crosswalk. As he was pulling up to the entrance, his view of the
sitting protesters would have been obstructed by the protesters standing
on the sidewalk corner, and once he was at the entrance, his view of
them could have been blocked by the hood of his truck.
With that said, it is more likely that he knew they were there.

huh?
this entire thing is such a non-event. did anyone actually watch the
video? the driver is clearly totally cognizant of what is going on, and
stops before he hits anyone, then creeps forward slowly to make sure
they have a chance to move and he doesn't hurt them
this is the exact smartest course of action to defuse this
situation with no one getting hurt. he needs to get past them to go to
work, and he did a great job of making them get out of the way without
hurting anyone or putting anyone in danger

Yeah, that is the non-mentally ill response to the video.
