NPR Busted Framing Self-Defense Getaway From Gun-Toting ‘Protesters’ As Right-Wing Extremist Attack
June 22, 2020
NPR has altered an article after they were busted using a misleading photo of a ‘vehicle ramming’ in Louisville to make the claim that ‘right-wing extremists’ are targeting protesters with cars.
Here’s what actually happened – the driver of the car, a woman with dreadlocks, was attacked by the ‘peaceful‘ protesters, one of whom reportedly pulled a gun on her – and another who was struck as she accelerated to escape:

The driver of the vehicle came forward and won’t face charges, while two of the protesters have been arrested.
The incident near 6th and Liberty streets during the Wednesday morning rush was www.wave3.com/video/2020/06/17/protester-hit-by- vehicle/">captured on a real-time crime camera.
Police said protesters had blocked the intersection, standing in front of the woman’s car with a megaphone.
During a verbal altercation between the driver and the protesters, someone ripped out one of the driver’s dreadlocks.
When someone pulled a gun, the driver sped off and struck a protester.
When she stopped at a red light a block later, someone pointed a gun at her.
Police said that man was 21-year-old Darius Anderson, who allegedly passed the gun off to 19-year-old Brioanna Richards.
Both are charged with rioting, disorderly conduct and obstructing a highway. – WAVE3
NPR deleted their tweet and changed the photo in the article to a 3-year-old image of the Charlottesville vehicle ramming.

I thought pointing a gun at someone was assault.

"Pointing a firearm" is a felony in my state.
So is carjacking -- "taking (or attempting to take) a motor vehicle from someone else by force, violence, or intimidation while the victim is operating or inside a vehicle."

When I lived in Chicago, we went on a hit on the LK's near Kedzie and Lawrence. I was the wheel man.
Six guys walked around the corner. A couple of minutes later they came running back around the corner. The Ricans were right behind them. They caught one guy. He reached up and grabbed them both by their fro's and bashed their faces into the brick wall.
He beat us back to the neighborhood on foot. ;)

Pointing a firearm is ADW most anywhere. ;)

No. It was just to see what we could get away with. Revenge is a different matter entirely. I am not going to elaborate on that. ;)

Yes and sometimes they would come down on us in our hood too. And we were ready for them. ;)
