The vehicle hit a crowd outside a club on Santa Monica Boulevard early Saturday, apparently on purpose, police said.

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.

    So then what are you arguing against then? You agree with me that lawlessness is not the answer. People in this thread shouldn’t be condoning lawless behavior.

    I don’t particularly care about “lawlessness”, as I said the law does not dictate morality. Just because I wouldn’t do something doesn’t mean I have the right to admonish others doing it.

    That’s a thread you don’t want to pull buddy.

    Lol, sure…

    Ahhh - post-modern “there is no truth” BS. No. My opinion here is definitely more moral and justified.

    Based on?

    It’s not simply my opinion either - it’s the conclusion of many enlightenment philosophers, scholars and legal minds. It’s the basis for the modern liberal democracy legal system that concentrates the power to punish in the government to provide for a stable society.

    Ahh, yes… The US legal system, widely known for being non biased and clearly has never been used to systemically repress entire segments of underprivileged society. The perfect system that has executed hundreds of innocent men…

    Many people are saying it… Must be true, no reason to actually argue your point on how this specific case is immoral. Why offer an actual argument when you can just appeal to authority and virtue signal instead?

      You know what? Screw you. I don’t have to dig up my past trauma to justify myself to an asshole on lemmy. Bye.

        I didn’t ask you too? It’s just not really something you can use to supplement your argument.
