Shocking moment furious man drives his white SUV at anti-Israel protesters blocking road outside California Lockheed Martin offices before screaming 'Somebody's gonna die'

The SUV was WHITE!
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A furious man drove his SUV toward a crowd of anti-Israel protestors as they blocked a road outside of a Lockheed Martin office building.

Demonstrators from the Bay Area Palestine Solidarity coalition arrived outside of the aerospace facility in Sunnyvale, California, around 6am Thursday.

They protested against the US sending weapons to Israel as the violent war between Israel and Palestine rages on.

As they blocked the road to the facility, an unidentified white man sped his car toward the crowd, nearly hitting them, before he stepped out and yelled at them while brandishing a knife.

'Get out of the way or somebody's gonna die,' the enraged man said as he wiped out a knife and pointed it at the crowd of people.

Video of the incident starts as the man drives his white SUV toward the protestors as they scream, begging him to stop.

He then stops his vehicle as a male protestor comes up to his driver's side window and says: 'Do you wanna go to prison?'

He asks the question again before the angry man, dressed in blue jeans, a dark zip up hoodie, baseball hat and glasses steps out of his car.

As he pulls a knife from his pocket, another protestor steps in front of him as the man says: 'Get out of the way or somebody's gonna die. I'm telling you right now!'

As the demonstrators scream in terror, the man says: 'Somebody's gonna die! Get out of my way!'

A protestor with a neon yellow vest then steps toward his open car door and reaches in his car as the man slaps him away.

'You're on video, put the weapon down,' a protestor tells him.

'If you wanna go to prison, think about--,' another says to him just before the driver interrupts them.

'If you wanna go to prison, you f******, get out of the way! I gotta get to my job,' the angry driver says.

'Think about your future,' someone says to him.

'I gotta get to my job. Get out of the f****** road,' he yells before getting back in the driver's seat.
Engineers. When they’re ready to work, the smart thing is to get out of their way and let them.The alternative, should they turn their creativity toward fixing their frustration, does not bear thinking about.
As he sits down, the same protestor in the neon vest reaches in to grab something before the driver backs up.

'Don't you dare,' the driver says as he stands up and points at the protestor.

'Are you gonna hurt people? We have eyes on you sir,' a female protestor screams at him as he slams his door shut.

A group of them then place their hands on the hood of his car as he slowly drives in an attempt to get past them.

'People are lying down,' a protestor says just before the video ends. It is unknown what happened after that.

It is unclear if the driver is a Lockheed Martin employee and whether the road in the incident happened is public property.

DailyMail.com contacted Lockheed Martin and the Sunnyvale Police Department for more information.

Around 135 protestors blocked the entrance to the facility as they protested Lockheed's alleged supply of missiles, surveillance technology and fighter jets being sent to Israel.

'We have gathered here to disrupt Lockheed Martin's operations and demand that the U.S. stop all arms sales to Israel,' protester Maramiya Yensoon said in a statement.

The group handcuffed themselves to each other and lay in the rain. KTVU reported that teachers, students and tech workers were among those in attendance.
Idiots, all. (Hey, Lockheed guys, have you heard about Israel’s skunk water for spraying unruly protesters?)
Carlos Rameriz, another protestor, said: 'I think this is a beautiful act of solidarity where we see people from all different diaspora communities all different countries here together trying to fight for what they believe in.'

In a statement, a Lockheed Martin spokesperson told KTVU: 'Lockheed Martin's core values are to do what's right, respect others and perform with excellence.'

'These values provide clear, unambiguous and uncompromising standards for how we treat each other with understanding and compassion.'

'We respect the right to peaceful protest and we are honored to partner with the U.S. military and our international partners to deliver strategic deterrence and security solutions.'

Set up an intolerable situation, and when people disagree, film the reaction and play victim.
