A man was dragged from his car by enraged bystanders and shot after he plowed a vehicle into a crowd in Los Angeles, leaving seven people critically injured and at least 23 others hurt outside a nightclub early Saturday morning, police said.
Cameras in the area are still being canvassed, but the incident appears to have been intentional, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Two law enforcement sources familiar with the situation said the suspect was kicked out of the venue for being intoxicated and disruptive.
That doesn’t look like the car I was expecting.
If you’re asked the identify the shooter, remember: You don’t have to.

No! Guilty until proven super guilty!
They kicked him out of the club for being intoxicated and belligerent.
Watch them imprison the shooter and let go the driver because car drivers could never do any wrong.
But so do gun people…
Nowhere near as bad as drivers from what i can see media wise. Unless the victim is a protester or trans person of course, then the shooting was always justified.
Car-centric culture really is fascinating, isn’t it? In a sad, morbid kind of way
Tha fuck? 🤣
Acts of violence with cars are notoriously underpunished. Some bullshit about the unrealized power and semi-autonomy of a vehicle in motion
Watch them imprison the shooter and let go the driver because car drivers could never do any wrong.
False dichotomies aside, it’s against the law to hurt people with a car. While intoxicated it’s a bunch of felonies. And vigilante gun-clutchers shooting at people being restrained is no different from cops shooting at a guy locked in back of a cop car, except the latter has less collateral damage and better muzzle discipline.

But do they really? Squint
Police said they arrested the driver, Fernando Ramirez, 29, who was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He is currently hospitalized and has not been booked into jail, the LAPD said. His condition was not immediately known.
If you saw something, no you didn’t.
Alcohol is legal while pot isn’t. And I can’t have refills on my sons perscription, or fill it more than 3 days early because someone might “abuse” it. Not supporting an action, just pointing out the absurdity.
Cannabis is perfectly legal in California and has been for some time.
But still illegal federally… wait until donald want to deport people for smoking pot…
Once I went to pick up some of my medication for seizures a week early because I was going out of town and they literally interrogated me and called the manager. Like bro wtf am I gonna do with extra seizure meds???
I think I need a note signed by the president to pick up my kids adhd meds early due to a vacation. The pharmacists at my place are good though, they don’t judge or anything, they just can’t do things the computer says no to.
Pot is entirely legal in CA. Stoners are some of the most cautious and calm drivers on the road anymore.
It’s still federally illegal.
Not sure what your son takes but when it comes to people freaking out on alcohol, some prescriptions like Xanax have a tendency to make people act worse. I think it’s because people get intoxicated quicker and their brains are like where the fuck am I so they have a tendency to freak out easier. Kind of like a bad trip I guess. I imagine Xanax, Meth, and Alcohol put your odds of something shitty happening at around 1 in 5.
But on the other hand, it’s dumb that you should struggle to pick up medications. Most of our medical field needs to be re-assessed.
Adhd stims.
I don’t mind them requiring a perscription, but all the extra crap is really just gatekeeping from the people who need the meds.
And yeah, mix just about any med with alcohol and you can abuse it (alcohol generally increases speed of absorption). So the dissonance of it being legal while many other things are illegal is only stronger.Xanax and alcohol are both GABA positive allosteric modulators; taking them together greatly strengthens the effects of both
Xanax is pure death… Kills your mentality slowly but steadily. At least out of my perspective. Fuck doctors who give that to people 😢 lost some good friends to that shit.
… Try that shit in a small town?
There’s a lot on back in that one headline
Cool. Now do it to owners of giant useless trucks.
Are you okay?
They’re probably trapped in Florida. Truck culture there is a special kind of stupid.
Its not a perfect solution but it is a solution.
Sgt. Travis Ward said the driver was shot after the collision, transported to the hospital and taken into surgery. For that reason, he said, police were unable to determine whether he was intoxicated.
Nah. They could have requested a warrant for a blood test while he was in the hospital if they wanted to.
Doctors tend not to withdraw blood from people with gunshot wounds. Generally they put blood and other fluids into them.
“Nurse, please wring out this blood soaked cloth for the police.”
Probably not much point when they’re going to arrest him for running into a crowd.
Presumably they can get testimony from the nightclub staff as well
Police ask anyone with information about the shooter to get in touch.
I’m ready to come forward. It was Elon Musk.
I can back up this statement. It was Elon by my own eyes. He said he hated Mexicans and shot the guy.
So a man injured several people in a mass attack with a deadly weapon, then bystanders rushed in to stop the man by using another deadly weapon. I’m sure the conservatives won’t have any problem with this, since this is exactly what they say should be done in that scenario.
They only like ‘other’ people to be attached by deadly weapons. They will at best, be indifferent because they themselves weren’t being attacked.
They didn’t dig it when the Black Panthers started arming themselves.
This is such an American headline
Using a car as a weapon is disturbingly, horrifically romanticized in the minds of a certain subset of Americans.
Regardless of the driver being shot, I’m actually glad there’s a headline of someone driving into a crowd getting pulled out of their car and getting their ass beat. Fuckwads like that need to know they’re gonna get fucked up real bad if they try that shit.
I sure hope he didn’t have a seizure while driving or something like it then.
That’s clearly unrelated to any of this.
Yes it is. We shouldn’t go back to lynch mobs. My city nearly beat a man to death in a case of mistaken identity.
Don’t do revenge kills, hit em, make them unconscious, pin them down, but don’t revenge kill. It just makes everything worse. Especially for the revenge-killer; there’s a reason why most kill themself after such an act.
He didn’t die, he’s in the hospital
Fair, but shooting at someone is always at the risk of killing that person and therefore should only be allowed in absolute last resort.
At least, that is my opinion.
Sir this is Trump’s America, the options are sanctioned or covertly-sanctioned violence.
Sure, but my opinion doesn’t change
I hate guns
Do really 10 vs 4 people think there are never accidents and misunderstandings with guns involved resulting in an unwanted kill?!
What is going on with you?!
