#1 Sheriff’s Office that the suspect was Bogdan Vechirko, of Otsego.

Bogdan Vechirgo? So Susan Rice is right, it really is the Russians. Sorry, no happy ending.

#3 And as everyone who has seen movies in the 90s/Oughties or was a big fan of Madeleine Albright knows, the Serbs are the evillist people evvvaaarrr!!!

#5 At 10 p.m., WCCO confirmed with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office that the suspect was Bogdan Vechirko, of Otsego.


...I have to say this. I work with a dozen truck drivers every day, and a growing number are Eastern European or Slavic immigrants. Good, hardworking people, but their command of English is often sketchy at best. It's entirely possible that this guy had no idea what the hell was happening when he came around that curve.

#6 When a truck speeds through a group of protesters, I expect dozens of casualties.

#7 dozens of fatalities...

Don't stop for those who look like looting. Remember the black mob who attacked that innocent truck driver in LA.

#8 Individual professions have specific information which applies to the work. I'd be surprised if Reginald Denny isn't known in every language whose speaker knows from steering wheels.
How did this truck get there? The highways were shut down earlier. Was he drinking coffee in a truc stop for an hour and nobody told him.

#10 With a crowd like that, if you stop you die.

Fuck those people.

#11 So if he stops we get another Reginald Denny event and many truck drivers will refuse to transit the area - leading to starvation of the locals, and 'justification' of escalation of riotous protests, among other things. Or if he doesn't stop we get carnage and 'justification' of escalation of riotous protests.

#12 This is the breakdown of LE. They should not have been on that roadway. This is not legitimate protest. The fact they knew they could and were allowed to speaks volumes. ...and then look who gets punished.

#13 #12 And yet, you still have a bunch of people on the Right genuflecting to the donut-eaters.

Never mind what happened to Trump supporters in Berzerkely and San Jose and Charlottesville.

Never mind the Proud Boys getting more jail time than Professor Bikelock.

Never mind people being arrested for playing with their kids and surfing while hardened criminals are released from prison.

Never mind "no duty to protect" and trigger-happy Somali cops shooting yoga instructors.

Here's hoping the taxpayers wake up to what they're paying for.

That will start the real revolution.

#14 Amen. Take back the streets - and the highways. End this kak. End it now.

#15 Mine flail tanks can clear crowds quick. The clean up is unfortunately...um....messy.

#16 How did this truck get there? The highways were shut down earlier.

I heard one news report on the radio that said he was already on the highway when it was closed. That being an interesting fact, I'd expect it to get dropped real quick.

#17 I read yesterday that the driver was beaten.
