Kamala could have been on that bus.

[sheshe2]

They did not know she was or wasn't. Attempting to run it off the road, possibly crash and burn is attempted murder of a candidate and her supporters. Trump cheered and retweeted.

FBI anyone?

[muntrv]

1. If she was on the bus, she would have had secret service protection.

[Wounded Bear]

3. This nt

[sheshe2]

5. Yes and they may well have died as well.

2. redneck white racists

chasing down a bus of possible people of color.
They didn't know she WASN'T on that bus.
Right out of Mississippi Burning.

[Under The Radar]

4. I think Kamala travels with a police escort as do all candidates

While with their secret service detail.

[TwilightZone]

6. I think they knew she wasn't.

The tour was advertised here in central Texas, which is how they knew where and when to target it. It was noted in the ads that it was local politicians, including Wendy Davis, and not the primary campaign.

In fact, they might have targeted it *because* it wasn't Biden or Harris - the security and law enforcement presence wouldn't be as high as the main tour. Better chance of getting away with it.

I don't get why some aren't being arrested. Road rage is a thing and people get charged for it. Seems pretty obvious in this case, and there's video evidence.

[Sogo]

9. Perhaps the person whose car got rammed

has to press charges? It was on the video....

[TwilightZone]

11. That's what I was thinking.

Ironically, it might be easier to deal with the insurance company.

7. Bus

I’m surprised that neither CNN or MSNBC have mentioned this incident.

[TwilightZone]

12. They have.

It's on both websites.

Anderson Cooper covered it, as well.

8. Threatening or hazarding people's lives is forbidden no matter who they are.

A non-corrupt local law enforcement entity would have taken care of this right away.

But I am speaking absurdities... non-corrupt local law enforcement? That's a good one!

[still_one]

10. Exactly

[sheshe2]

15. Wendy Davis was on that bus.

For 13 hours straight she stood on the floor and:

On June 25, 2013, Davis held a thirteen-hour-long filibuster to block Senate Bill 5, a measure which included more restrictive abortion regulations for Texas.[3] The filibuster played a major role in Senate Democrats' success in delaying passage of the bill beyond the midnight deadline for the end of the legislative session, though it ultimately passed in a second session.

I watched every minute of it. 13 hours, no breaks. I love this woman.

[Joelteply]

22. That's why she was targeted

This is more of the same evil abortion doctor killer types. They probably thought it was noble.

[GulfCoast66]

13. In which case the Secret Service may well have shot some red necks.

Those guys don’t fuck around. They don’t give warnings and don’t tase you. You physically threaten someone under their protection you will most likely be dead.

Plus there would have state trooper escorts.

[Docreed2003]

20. This

I worked the Biden line before the Nashville debate, right where his motorcade came through, even got to great Jill face to face. Fifteen mins prior to that moment the street was dead quiet...completely shut down. It was eerie as hell. Then moments before the motorcade and Jill greeting us, agents came out of literally nowhere, wanted all of his and secured the line. It was intense. They weren't playing

[Maru Kitteh]

24. I'm in favor of that plan. I think they should set up a few dummy caravans

and start taking these motherfuckers out.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, and all that.

[pecosbob]

16. And the Texas GOP response was even worse than Trump's

[sheshe2]

17. I am shocked...

Not.

[Ms. Toad]

18. Attempted murder is attempted murder. It is irrelevant who the taget was.

Althought it would more likely be negligent homicide, had they succeeded.

[northoftheborder]

19. The current crop of Republicans in power in TX are shaming our state. Just make me sick.

27. Thank you 😊

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. It's bullshit that no one was arrested for this

I haven't forgotten this incident either.

[Hekate]

26. Attempted assassination. I sure as hell hope the FBI & Secret Service are on this. nt

29. They would have been neutralized by the secret service had she been on the bus

We’d likely be talking about a few dead deplorables today.
