The driver faces off the crowd and when they refuse to move, he plows through them

An apparently racist truck driver, likely enabled by that White-Supremacist-Party jackass running for President, plowed through a group of peaceful protesters in Reno, Nevada on October 10 injuring five with an elderly woman still in the hospital. The marchers were mostly American Indian and speaking out against Columbus Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The marchers stationed themselves under the famous Reno arch when the white truck pulls up, the driver revs his engine threateningly and after people standing at his window demand that he stop, he peels-out right through the crowd. Full video taken by Taylor de Lao on Facebook Live shows the driver yelling profanities and shaking his fist at the crowd as he drives by a few minutes earlier. The short video below shows the moment when the driver rams into the crowd with his truck fueled with hate.

Taylor Paniagua Sr. said he jumped in front of the pickup in an effort to stop the driver from fleeing. Paniagua said he caught the hood of the truck, but the driver kept going. He grabbed one of the side doors and was dragged toward Second Street, he said. He eventually let go and slid, scraping his arms. “This just is not right,” Paniagua said. “It didn’t seem right when they revved the engine.” “I had to stand up for my rights,” he said. “I’m Native American myself, and I’m from Oklahoma. It was just uncalled for.” Paniagua described the men as white, “chubby” and in their 20s.

As of this report, the driver, who telephoned police to tell his side of the story, is said to be cooperating with authorities but I’d like to know why he’s not been locked up after leaving the scene of this crime. Reno police are not returning calls to USA Today.
