An Open Letter To The World From A Car Enthusiast
Dear world,
There’s no point in trying to dress this up with flowery language, so I am going to get straight to the point.
If you think that it’s OK to use cars, trucks and other automobiles to demonstrate your hatred of others by attacking innocent people, you are sick and depraved. It frustrates me, yet leaves me full of guilt, that the very things for which I have the most passion in life are being used as instruments of evil.
Cars are a very important part of my life, and that of many others. My existence has been deeply enriched by being a part of car culture. Cars have brought many good people together around the world. Please don’t turn them into a machine destined to tear us all apart.
In solidarity with the victims of vehicular attacks around the world, including those in Paris, Berlin, London, Charlottesville, and Barcelona,
Kyle Ashdown

This instance was wrong cause the guy used the car as a weapon. However, protestors need to also learn to stop blocking roadways, especially when they do not have permission for the protest (getting permission is so the government can make sure everyone is safe.) My rule is beep multiple times, the proceed slowly. If they want yo throw themsrlf in front of my car, thats their issue. Not trying to kill anyone, or hurt, but our streets are for cars not violent anarchist protestors. The liberal also does not want to acknowledge that antifa has been violent for a long time now, and at Charlottesville one man lost his sight due to pepper spray and could be blind for life now.
Whether or not they are protestors in the road or people going about their daily lives in a town square, it takes the same type of degenerate to mow down a crowd of people like that. There is absolutely no excuse for what happened in Charlottesville.
Quite a moving letter
This post is pretty similar…

I sick and tired of this, every terrorist attack in the last few months have been by motor vehicles. It’s such a brutal way to kill people. It’s even making some afraid to go out to large events cause people keep driving into crowds. I pray for those victims who can doing nothing to stop a moving object that can go 60mph faster then them
Wise words
This is just my opinion so please dont just downvote but it isnt just the drivers fault. If you watch any of the videos the people block full roads, and bash and try to break in the car windows of the people trying to get through. Imagine if you had a 100,000 dollar audi and a ton of protestors started banging in your windows and kicking your car. You would want to get out of there as fast as possible, and most of the time the people throw themselves infront or behind the vehicle to keep them from leaving. Sorry for this rant, sorry if it is confusing but everyone keeps trying to protect the liberal protestors even though they are the ones that cause it most of the time. Sometimes the drivers have to get out of these situations though. I am in no way supporting the people who just run over the protestors, but the government and everyone just blames the car drivers all the time when it isnt always their fault.
I agree with you. Last I checked, that al - right protest would’ve gone ‘peacefully’, if those ANTIFA dlckheads didn’t come swinging with clubs. But yknow, liberalism is a protected class, and the right is the punching bag, what more did anyone expect?
Did you not see the Charlottesville video
Driving through a street crowded with protesting people is a good time to let your nav reroute you. Your car will pay for a poor decision by the driver.
We might want to exclude this from the top comments of the week due to it’s special nature.
Solidarity doesn’t do shlt fyi
Funny that, nor does your opinion
I live in charlottesville and I was in town when the white separatist came and I’m sorry that you all view my town that way. We are a very peaceful and nice town and most of us are good people. Like me
It’s really unfortunate that your town had to be the centre of this, though I never had a doubt in my mind that the violence did not represent the good people of Charlottesville :)
amen
