Checklick, who faces a charge of reckless driving, appeared before a magistrate. He was being held without bond at the Culpeper County Jail. Police said Checklick may face additional charges.
Where's the attempted murder charge?
Terrorism charges. Oh. A boy can dream.
Police said ... Checklick “intentionally accelerated his vehicle into the dispersing crowd.” ... faces a charge of reckless driving...
Dude intentionally accelerated his SUV into a crowd and gets charged with reckless driving. I sincerely hope it's a felony at least.
I hope he gets a simple slap-on-the-wrist fine, but then ironically, he's run over by a big rig the moment he steps out of the courthouse. I prefer my punishments ironic.
And then, for ultimate poetry, the big rig driver gets another slap on the wrist fine.
Final destination
Driving a car should get you shot.
Dear leader will pardon him. Same for the MN assassin.
"reckless driving" if you're a fascist
"attempted murder" if you're less than 100% white
Hey. The car counts for something here.
Nah it's terrorism for the not white people
Attempted murder if a cop is within 1/2 mile of the incident.
What if I run over a crowd of roided out military-larping cops with my F350?
Only one way to find out.
Well... at least he was actually driving. I would normally expect phrasing like "the SUV drove..." (independently and without any controlling driver as all cars involved in accidents do *cough*) nowadays.
"The SUV was driven..."
I hate that passive voice bullshit
That reminds me of how when an SUV runs over someone on a bike, it's a "bicycle accident".
Not rich or backing the rich. No war but class war.
Mug shot of Joseph R. Checklick Jr.
A rail thin white guy with a bowl cut and a huge shitty dragon tattoo on his arm, what a surprise.
Isn't this like every guy at the Unite The Right rally of 2017? Maybe crossbred with Michael Douglas in Falling Down
Behold, the master race.
"We have Eminem at home."
dicklick Jr I mean Jesus fucking christ
How could anyone be against no king protest?
Aren’t they saying yes kings if they are against it?
These boot lickers are getting out of hand
Yes. That's exactly what they're saying. Plus,"I hate liberals."
Because American politics is just an us vs them game. No reasoning, no discussion, just the other bad.
Behold the result of 100 years of two-party politics run amok.
The whole Maga cult is centered around boot licking.
Don't forget the "as long as the other person has it worse than me" rethoric.
Doesn't matter if they suffer, as long as the people they dislike suffer even more.
Not that I agree, but the logic is that the name is deceptive and they're just against Trump I assume. Just like a "protect the children" act has nothing to do with protecting children. Names aren't necessarily accurate.
Same reason they're against Antifa. You would think being anti-fascist is an easy position to take, but here we are.
There should be recreational sugar boots or rather just comfort boots you can carry around with and lick, it should be normalized like breastfeeding.
I like that SUV is bold
