New York Times: "Drivers Are Hitting Protesters as Memes of Car Attacks Spread"

It's been one month since Rex Gabriel condoned violence on protestors: There have been at least 66 car attacks nationwide since George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis police on May 25, according to Ari E. Weil, the deputy research director at the Chicago Project on Security and Threats of the University of Chicago.

To those who defended Rex Gabriel's action as "just a joke," "a gaffe," or "a minor deal:" now we have seen the results of online propaganda calling for vehicular attacks on protestors, targeting the Black Lives Matter movement.

In the most high-profile example of a car attack in the United States, James Alex Fields Jr. killed Heather Heyer, a counterprotestor, at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. Mr. Fields was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Evidence at the trial included the fact that he had shared images online of cars ramming into people before participating in the far-right rally.
