Police said they arrested a man who drove his SUV through a “No Kings” protest Saturday, hitting at least one person.

The Culpeper Police Department (CPD) said officers stopped Joseph R. Checklick Jr, 21, of Culpeper after they saw him drive recklessly through the group in the area of 801 James Madison Hwy.

Checklick, who faces a charge of reckless driving, appeared before a magistrate. He was being held without bond at the Culpeper County Jail. Police said Checklick may face additional charges.

Where's the attempted murder charge?

When "the others" do that, it's called a terrorist attack.

It really comes around back home. How the USAns treated the people from the "shithole" countries, they now treat their own.

"reckless driving" if you're a fascist

"attempted murder" if you're less than 100% white

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 70 points 3 days ago

Nah it's terrorism for the not white people

Attempted murder if a cop is within 1/2 mile of the incident.

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

What if I run over a crowd of roided out military-larping cops with my F350?

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Only one way to find out.

Hey. The car counts for something here.

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 16 points 3 days ago

Well... at least he was actually driving. I would normally expect phrasing like "the SUV drove..." (independently and without any controlling driver as all cars involved in accidents do *cough*) nowadays.

"The SUV was driven..."

I hate that passive voice bullshit

[-] wolfeh 6 points 3 days ago

That reminds me of how when an SUV runs over someone on a bike, it's a "bicycle accident".

Not rich or backing the rich. No war but class war.

Police said ... Checklick “intentionally accelerated his vehicle into the dispersing crowd.” ... faces a charge of reckless driving...

Dude intentionally accelerated his SUV into a crowd and gets charged with reckless driving. I sincerely hope it's a felony at least.

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

I hope he gets a simple slap-on-the-wrist fine, but then ironically, he's run over by a big rig the moment he steps out of the courthouse. I prefer my punishments ironic.

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

And then, for ultimate poetry, the big rig driver gets another slap on the wrist fine.

Final destination

Dear leader will pardon him. Same for the MN assassin.

Driving a car should get you shot.

Mug shot of Joseph R. Checklick Jr.

A rail thin white guy with a bowl cut and a huge shitty dragon tattoo on his arm, what a surprise.

[-] uriel238 14 points 3 days ago

Isn't this like every guy at the Unite The Right rally of 2017? Maybe crossbred with Michael Douglas in Falling Down

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 54 points 3 days ago

How could anyone be against no king protest?

Aren’t they saying yes kings if they are against it?

These boot lickers are getting out of hand

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 38 points 3 days ago

Because American politics is just an us vs them game. No reasoning, no discussion, just the other bad.

[-] tamal3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Behold the result of 100 years of two-party politics run amok.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Yes. That's exactly what they're saying. Plus,"I hate liberals."

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

The whole Maga cult is centered around boot licking.

[-] Trihilis@ani.social 11 points 3 days ago

Don't forget the "as long as the other person has it worse than me" rethoric.

Doesn't matter if they suffer, as long as the people they dislike suffer even more.

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

Same reason they're against Antifa. You would think being anti-fascist is an easy position to take, but here we are.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Not that I agree, but the logic is that the name is deceptive and they're just against Trump I assume. Just like a "protect the children" act has nothing to do with protecting children. Names aren't necessarily accurate.

[-] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

There should be recreational sugar boots or rather just comfort boots you can carry around with and lick, it should be normalized like breastfeeding.

[-] HEXN3T 10 points 3 days ago

I like that SUV is bold
