One witness reports that driver purposely plowed into pedestrians near Venice Beach..

Am I freaking nuts because one of the first thoughts I had was that it was an extremists trying to take revenge on all the horrible liberals out here... Now I know this is most likely not the case, however isn’t horrible that in this day and age my mind goes there immediately.

Is it just me?

I think we are aware that there is a segment of our population that is seething with anger about everything fox news tells them to be angry about. Some of them just can't keep it in anymore. Where I live a man mowed down three of his neighbors' houses with a bulldozer. Lots of people are on edge because they are being egged on to hate by wealthy media.
Hate had to be at work for what this person did to innocent people.
