Is this the right guy? News reports do not give a name.

1. Sure hope so, since you're giving it even more air.

5. Just wondering since the news reports are so vague. Weird how they are so quiet about this.

12. Not weird at all. Reliable and investigative journalism always lags

social media. For obvious reasons. My casual notion from years of reading tne NYT, LATimes, WaPo, etc, is that (except when the paper itself is breaking a story) a lag of maybe 2 days is pretty common before they've verified something they can publish, but it's often longer.

7. Here is an article, with photos of the guy when caught

If he had done this in Florida he would be fine, because DeathSantis passed a law where you can do it without consequences.

8. Legalized vehicular homicide? Something's not right about that.

Stand your ground becomes mobile.

11. Pretty much...it is as crazy as it gets, although today or tomorrow repubs will come up

with more crazy we never thought of.

2. Right guy... possibly premature on motive

Haven’t seen anything yet on “trumpism”, but early reports show multiple reckless and drunk driving incidents including high speed.

3. I did find an article that names Kraus as the driver but there's no photo

Further in the article it does mention he has numerous DWIs and has had his license revoked so it should be possible to verify if that's his photo, or not, by someone with those kinds of research skills.

....................................

Police have identified Nicholas David Kraus, 35, as the man who drove his SUV through a Sunday night racial justice protest in Minneapolis, killing one person and injuring three.

Late on Sunday night, Mr Kraus, who is being held in jail without bail on suspected vehicular homicide, allegedly sped through a Minneapolis intersection where protesters have been demonstrating since local members of a multi-agency federal taskforce shot and killed 32-year-old Winston Boogie Smith, a Black man whom they were pursuing on an alleged weapons violation, in a parking garage earlier this month.

4. It's not a wall, it's a fence.

6. apparently it is the right guy.

the article on Heavy.com says that the police rolled up in their riot gear and that protesters detained the driver and attended to the wounded.

10. +1. Heavy.com is well sourced

9. If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't post.

Without confirmation from a reliable source, it's far to easy to identify the wrong person. It has happened many, many times. Why not wait until you can confirm the information before posting?

[Treefrog]

13. I've seen the wrong one posted here so many times.

Really unconscionable for people to do this in hopes they’ll be right. Smh.

[MineralMan]

14. I agree. I never post such things, unless they are confirmed

by law enforcement officials.

There are too many people who have the same names. In the past, the wrong person has been identified and harassed by people online.

It's just not the right thing to do.
