WILTON MANORS, Fla. — A driver slammed into spectators Saturday evening at the start of a Pride parade in South Florida, and an official says one person was killed and another seriously injured.
The pickup driver acted like he was part of the Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride Parade but then suddenly accelerated when he was told he was next, crashing into the victims, Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis said, according to WSVN-TV. Wilton Manors is just north of Fort Lauderdale. ... “This is a terrorist attack against the LGBT community,” Trantalis told reporters. “This is exactly what it is. Hardly an accident.” ... “All of a sudden there was a loud revving of a truck and a crash through a fence,” Currie said. “It was definitely an intentional act right across the lanes of traffic.”
Politico probably should have investigated a bit more...
Justin Knight, the president of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus, whose logo the suspect wore on his t-shirt, said that to his knowledge it was a “tragic accident” and not an attack on the LGBTQ community. The suspect was “part of the Chorus family” and the injured were members, he told local media.
Sounds like they guy hit the gas in stead of the brake with horrible results. It's a tragedy regardless of what the parade was about. Someone lost their life and the driver will have to live with the consequences

NEVER let the truth get in the way of the narrative.
Politico will never run a retraction. At best they MAY just run a new story.
Shit happens. Not everything is some kind of vendetta on a small minority group.

Lots of people opened their mouth and inserted their foot. Including one of the state's attorneys, who posted 'Hate has no place in our society and they will be prosecuted for this terrorism' or some shit like that... I pointed out that she just tanked her own case by getting involved without knowing details, and essentially assuming the motivation and convicting before he/she was even charged/investigated...
There was also this...person.. who says he/she is running for some political office.. who deleted this post after she was proven wrong..

Wow, she was awesome. She likely torched her chances but I respect her convictions.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announces he is signing a bill requiring high school students to learn about the "evils of communism and totalitarian ideologies." The bill also creates a library that allows students to learn about "real patriots" who escaped communism and socialism. https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/ ... 0072642561
LEAKED DOCUMENTS from Iowa School System show Teachers are FORCED to classify ‘Make America Great Again” as a type of “racism" & “white supremacy.” This is done through MANDATORY Critical Race Theory training FORCED on teachers at taxpayer expense.

'Police brutality'..
So, when a white cop beats up a white guy for no reason, that's racism?
'Racial discrimination'
So, when Tyrone gets the job, due to affirmative action, despite me being more qualified, that's racism?
'Denial of white privilege'
So, if you refuse to believe that white people are superior, you're racist.
This can be turned on them, by anyone who has an ounce of intelligence.
