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.
