Suspect arrested after van plows into pro-Trump voter registration tent in Florida
February 9, 2020 | Samantha Chang
If you can’t beat ’em, kill ’em. That seems to be the modus operandi of the violent Left, after a van plowed into a pro-Trump voter registration tent in Jacksonville, Florida. Hours later, Gregory Timm — the suspect in what some are calling a politically motivated “attempted mass murder†— was arrested.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested Gregory William Loel Timm, 27, after he was identified as the person who drove the van through a GOP voter registration tent.
Timm was charged with aggravated assault, criminal mischief and driving with a suspended license, the Sheriff’s Department tweeted at 2 a.m. Eastern time.
The shocking attack occurred at 3:50 p.m. in a Walmart parking lot, where six volunteers from the Duval County Republican Party were registering voters in a tent. ...
“After he ran over everything, he backed up, took out a cell phone [and] recorded the damage,†Alfieri recounted. “[He] made some obscene gestures at us and then proceeded to leave the complex.†...

These unprovoked, senseless attacks on @realDonaldTrump's supporters need to end. I want to echo the @DuvalGOP in saying: We will not be silenced by cowards, and these disgusting acts will only make us work harder to win November. https://twitter.com/duvalgop/status/1226273637214408705?s=21 (https://twitter.com/duvalgop/status/1226273637214408705?s=21) …

This appears to be a politically-motivated attack on hard-working volunteers in Duval County. Thankful that no one was hurt. @DuvalGOP will not be silenced or intimidated. They will redouble their efforts to support strong Republicans in NE Florida and around the state! https://twitter.com/duvalgop/status/1226273637214408705 (https://twitter.com/duvalgop/status/1226273637214408705) …

Merged two threads on same topic.

Gosh, this is notable to me. Mrs. Liberty and I volunteer for tents like that, most recently last week. We're doing a lot of voter registration at the GOP Headquarters, too. We have a permanent office in town where we register voters and fund-raise by selling Trump swag.
Anybody want to buy a MAGA hat? We have doggy versions, too...lol

The man arrested Saturday after reportedly crashing a van into the tent of a Republican voter group was training to become a sound engineer on the First Coast, according to the president of the Jacksonville branch of International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.
Susan Phillips, President of the Jacksonville branch of I.A.T.S.E. Local 115, told First Coast News that Gregory William Loel Timm, 27, had recently joined the union. ...
Phillips said union members immediately recognized Timm's van and mugshot from the pictures provided by witnesses and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
"We are just horrified," Phillips said over the phone.
She said Timm was immediately suspended from the union, and that the union will provide a full statement on the matter. She added that he will not be granted I.A.T.S.E. union membership in the future. ...

This will be gone from the news tomorrow yet 25 years from now we'll still be hearing about the neonazi in Charlottesville.

That was the first thought that entered my mind. Just think of the coverage if it had been a Dem registration tent and the driver had on a MAGA hat.
Total wall to wall 24 hour coverage...for years.

Man Deliberately Rams Vehicle Into GOP Tent Full Of Volunteers, Trump Responds
By Ryan Saavedra | February 8, 2020
Authorities in Florida said on Saturday that a man deliberately rammed a vehicle into a tent of Republican volunteers who were registering people to vote.
“Jacksonville police say a driver intentionally crashed a van through a tent where Duval County GOP volunteers were registering voters Saturday afternoon,†The Florida Times-Union reported. “Several Duval County GOP volunteers were working at the registration tent when a white man in his early 20s driving an older – possibly 1980s – brown van pulled up toward the tent.â€
Lt. Larry Gayle of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office told reporters that law enforcement was looking at the incident “as in reference to interruption of the political process.â€
“We are investigating this as a aggravated assault,†Gayle said. “Several people were in the area and could have been seriously hurt. … JSO is taking the situation very seriously.â€

There are states that recognize assault with a vehicle is sufficient cause for defense with lethal force.

According to the US Press, this murderous lunatic Democrat is a hero.
Same as the guy who assaulted Rand Paul.
Same as the guy who shot and tried to assassinate Scalise.
Same as the Antifa Brownshirts who beat and assault random pedestrians and set shops on fire.
For all their talk of 'tolerance', the American Left are the most violent intolerant cult of people in the country.
The American Left is dangerous. They should be labeled a terrorist organization.
It is getting to the point that you cannot attend any Republican gathering of any kind unless you are armed.

This punk looks like a real loser. Driving with a suspended license. Maybe drunk driving? Looks like he's been hitting the bottle. Or the bong. Maybe both.

February 6, 2020 at 5:05 pm
LAKE FOREST (CBSLA) — A Mission Viejo man, who police say set fire to two American flags in the bed of a pickup truck at an Orange County high school, is facing felony arson charges.
Deputies responded to a reported fire in the bed of a truck in the parking lot at El Toro High School in Lake Forest just before noon Thursday, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
When they arrived on scene, witness told them a man stopped near a student’s car and set fire to two American flags that were displayed in the truck bed, OCFA said. The suspect then fled the scene.
Photos of the vehicle showed the truck also had a “TRUMP Keep America Great†bumper sticker on its back window. ...

There doesn't even have to be a connection. Could even be some loser living in Mom's basement, no job, no life, exposed to MSNBC and who knows what else. Then one day he gets wasted on booze or drugs and decides it's all Trump's fault he is a loser, so he's going to mow down some Trump supporters or bomb the local Trump campaign headquarters.
None of these terrorists have to be organized. They just have to be losers and idiots.

An angry snowflake on a mission... it's plausible, especially with the hatred levels ginned up by the MSM.

It's been bad for quite some time and it's getting worse. MSM for sure is to blame, but also so-called community leaders and a number of politicians and celebrities too. Seems there is money to be made from getting people stirred up, not to mention a hatred for America and wanting to see it destroyed.

Chaos is a tool the Left can always use. If some Leftist goes on a rampage, they can use the incident to slap controls on the Right. Sooner or later, people willingly sacrifice their Liberty to the false god of security, and that's what they are counting on.
Conservatives only want to be free to defend themselves from this lot, something the Left is fighting ardently against.

Good question.
If an Obama hater had done the same to a group of Democrats, they'd have banned vans (not that I want that) amid the howling.

Man driven by dislike of President Trump in GOP tent attack, report shows
According to JSO investigators who tracked him down, Timm admitted to purposefully driving into the tent because “someone had to take a stand.â€
Timm told investigators he saw the registration tent after he went to pick up food and cigarettes and a nearby Walmart, according to JSO.
He then showed investigators a video he recorded while driving towards the tent, according to JSO, but the video cut out before he hit the tent. According to the report, Timm said he was upset that the video ended before “the good part.â€
