Car plows into 8 pedestrians on purpose

Shit's been real for quite a while.

The media is refusing to release the identity.

R2 that means the driver was an illegal and the media is trying to hide that.

R3 that means the driver was a Republican and the corporate owned media is trying to hide that.

More people being radicalized on YouTube. Who is paying for the flashy, highly produced right wing YouTube’s?

Hmmmm.

Maybe you're confusing real with watching an episode of Mr. Mercedes?

If it was a white male the name would have been released immediately and the media would make claims of white nationalism. So we know it was not a white male.

Courtney did it and Susan Dey hasn't commented yet.

Susan Dey says very little, doesn't she?

If the name is being kept out of the news, then the perpetrator is someone connected.

So, which one is it? Junior or Eric?

R7 is correct. It’s a brown person. Perhaps an illegal (although it’s CA so you wouldn’t automatically know, and those people can get drivers licenses abyway) so I wonder if it’s a Muslim.

I believe they are Muslimese.

A drunken Republican politician, no doubt.

We need to know the perp. Someone post a name here.

Doesn’t Susan Dey have fleas in her cunt?

Hopefully those hit were IT scum.

It could be a Moslime, as ISIS has commanded its followers to increase their attacks on Westerners.

If the police didn't release the name and race of the perp they have in custody immediately, one can be sure that he's either black or Muslim or both.

Maybe it’s a straight white man who identifies as a disabled black Muslim woman.

Maybe it’s Aaron Schock...,

R16 is on to something. Sunnyvale is Ground Zero for high tech. The driver was probably an enraged and entitled tech exec with the money and political influence to buy this silence.

We need to know. Release the name, like the mueller report.

Heavily redacted?

... but... but...I thought trump defeated ISIS!?

Listening to my short wave radio for information. I'll post if there are any updates.

R19 made me laugh...

It could even be someone like this:

Zuckerberg's wife driving?

The driver could have also had a siezure. The fact that he ended up hitting a tree tells me he didn’t know what he wa doing.

Okay Sandy!

Whoever he is, can you send him to NY next?

TIA!

Wow, just praying for all the injured 🤕 peopled and thinking 🤔 about like how that could be me, because I used to work near that intersection. Wow, makes you feel really #blessed

[R11] - "those people"? Really?? What a joy you must be to live with, Archie......

[quote]It could be a Moslime, as ISIS has commanded its followers to increase their attacks on Westerners.

What is a Moslime? Do you perhaps mean Muslim?

If it was IS connected they’d be boasting in the media. Could just be a drunk asshole who should have taken an Uber or a medical condition. People really should wait and see before screaming accusations. That’s how lynch mobs formed.

My money is on a 96 year old woman. Its always 96 year old women !

R35 = 95-year-old woman, getting nervous

R 35,read the article. It was a man. Unless he does not choose to identify as a man; perhaps he's that third gender. Isn't that what Kamala Harris is supporting?

The individual in R27 is both transgender and transracial.

R38, and in a transport.

shit....i live pretty close to there.....i am thinking old fool or stroke as well.....those poor people. another reason why i stay home.

It was noted elsewhere last night there was a peculiar reluctance to identify the suspect. but they were very quick to rule out terrorism. Added together that sounds like the guy is named some variation of Mohammed.

R40: If it was just some old codger they would have already released his identity to the Press.

Maybe it’s a straight white man who identifies as a disabled black Muslim woman.

No, you can't pin this on me.

It should be illegal to EVER release the identity of a non-white suspect.

I used to shop on that intersection.

Indians are very volatile, especially when they lose their jobs.

Isolated event = "Not a terrorist act"?

R47 According to the DM, "Choi told CBS it was too early to rule out a terrorist motive".

CSBSF reports that the FBI is now involved

The media is simply repeating what the AP reports, including that the FBI is involved. Which tends to rule out drunk drivers, distraught drivers, elderly drivers, road-rage drivers, etc.

Odd -- Sunnyvale is twitter central but nothing from bystanders who may have witnessed the accident.

I'll cum if it's a Mudslime!

Nothing in the LA news twitters. Odd.

Could be a stroke, diabetic seizure, heart attack, too much booze, etc. etc etc. Perhaps we could wait until the facts are available.

We'd have the truth by now if CWB Chicago had a Silicon Valley bureau.

They wouldn't bring in the FBI for a drunk driver R54.

This happened 15 hours ago and no publication of the driver's name. Odd.

As long as whoever is responsible for this despicable act is able to vote while he’s in prison!!

Maybe they're rushing emergency paperwork through the court system to change the driver's name to something Anglo-Saxon before they release more information.....

Not releasing his name is white genocide.

They're not releasing his name because the FBI is still investigating whether he's got ties to DAESH or some other Muslim terror group.

@ABC7

Here are some stories to start your day.

Porto's coming to West Covina,

LA's new Obama Boulevard,

Stitch falls for fan at Disneyland

They were driving a car?

That means they get a reduced sentence / charge because "drivers".

This could have been a Mossad hit. The real target was in the group of eight but it was disguised as a random accident so all 8 were taken out.

If only this had happened in Chicago, then I could quote our boo!

Isn't it charming how the 'phobes actually hope and pray that something like this will happen? And of course it's ISLOOM whether it was or not, unless proven otherwise, and even then.

Isn't it charming that R66 sees absolutely nothing insane about defending a homo-hating culture on a gay board.

who cares about 8 injured l, do you know 200 million trans POCs were killed just last week????!!!

The driver has not been identified. But the Corolla is registered to 34-year-old Sunnyvale resident Isaiah J. Peoples, according to state Department of Motor Vehicle records. That registration was revoked Wednesday, the records show. Peoples paid for the registration with a bad check on March 22, 2019, officials said.

Two officers with the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety were standing outside Peoples’ home Wednesday morning.

Hate crime.

Judging from his profile he's an animal lover

This must be really breaking, because my google search didn't even come up with a " Isaiah J. Peoples: Five facts you need to know" hit.

Witness: Driver mumbling ‘I love you Jesus’ after injuring 8 in horrific Sunnyvale crash

SUNNYVALE — A driver suspected of plowing into a crowd of people in a busy Sunnyvale intersection Tuesday — injuring eight, including a 13-year-old girl — then stumbled out of his car mumbling “Jesus, I love you,” according to an eyewitness who watched the horrific crash unfold right in front of him.

The FBI is assisting the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety in investigating the incident, which Sunnyvale Capt. Jim Choi said could have been an intentional act based on the driver’s lack of attempts to slow down or stop before hitting the victims. In fact, Choi said witnesses told police that the driver might have sped up his dark-colored Toyota Corolla before the rampage ended when he crashed into a tree.

“Based upon initial witness accounts, there is no indication of the vehicle ever trying to brake,” Choi said Wednesday morning. “There is no indication the driver was trying to avoid the pedestrians.”

The registered owner of the Corolla is Isaiah J. Peoples of Sunnyvale, according to DMV records. On Wednesday morning, police were stationed in front of Peoples’ listed residence in the city.

While noting that police are considering that the crash was an attack, Choi said investigators are “looking at all potential motives” and that there “is no indication of terrorism” in the early stages of the investigation. Choi said Sunnyvale DPS is spearheading the case, and that the FBI was alerted as a matter of course “in case this turns out to be more than the scope of Sunnyvale.”

The FBI affirmed that the agency is on alert in the event any elements of the case fall under its jurisdiction.

“Should it be determined that a federal crime was committed, we will become more involved,” FBI spokesman Prentice Danner said.

Police said several victims remain in area hospitals, but did not immediately provide an update on their conditions Wednesday morning, and scheduled a 2:30 p.m. Wednesday news briefing at the Sunnyvale DPS headquarters.

Officers were called to the intersection of El Camino Real and Sunnyvale Avenue around 6:40 p.m. for a report of a major-injury collision, and arrived to find eight people had been hit by a car. Choi said the driver was traveling westbound on El Camino Real when he hit a group of pedestrians crossing Sunnyvale Avenue in a crosswalk.

San Jose resident Don Draper said he was on the way to visit a friend to watch the San Jose Sharks’ playoff game Wednesday evening, and had stopped for a red light at the intersection, when he saw the Corolla speeding past his left side.

“I didn’t really notice him until about he was directly in front of me, going at least 60 miles an hour,” Draper said. “Several people got hit. One person, a woman, was launched in the right in front of me. She was upside down, feet pointing straight up, flipped around and landed right in front of my car.”

Police say the man continued driving, allegedly striking additional pedestrians on the corner and sidewalk before crashing into a tree. Draper, 72, said he got out of his car and ran after the driver.

“I’m so horrified and enraged,” Draper said. “He had gone onto the grass and that’s when he hit the tree.”

Draper added: “He kept repeating, mumbling over and over again, ‘Jesus, I love you.’ He seemed to be dazed. At this point I walked back from where the car was, toward the intersection and dialed 911. I was so nervous and upset, I was having trouble dialing.”

On his way back to his own car, Draper recalled seeing officers tending to an injured bicyclist, mangled bike nearby. He discovered soon after that a man was knocked about 30 feet from the intersection, and that his daughter was the teen girl who was also injured in the crash.

Choi said officers arrested the driver, who was not injured. Draper said he saw the driver get handcuffed, and that he did not obviously appear to have been driving under the influence.

“His speech was not slurred when he was saying ‘Jesus I love you.’ ”

Both directions of El Camino Real were closed following the collision, and the westbound lanes were closed overnight before re-opening Wednesday morning.

r67: heterosexual incel posting from his parents basement, FOX News flickering in the background.

Meanwhile, you bigoted pig, the driver was not a Muslim. But don't let that stop you from your bigoted trolling, you pig.

Maybe it appeared to be intentional but was not and his "Jesus I love you" was a prayer of gratitude for his not dying.

DL's 'phobe trolls:

Oh please let him be ...

... DAMN.

He's a Peoples person.

Chicago Police Department (CPD) has photos of the Os*ndairo brothers driving in a car with ‘Empire’ star J*ssie Sm*llett in the days leading up to the hoax hate crime.

The rank and file members of the Chicago Police Department are furious that Cook County state’s attorney Kim F*xx intervened to drop sixteen felony counts against Sm*llett and as more evidence, such as these photographs, continue to surface, it becomes even harder to understand Kim F*xx’s decision.

The files containing the photos were first released by the Chicago area blog CWB Chicago and reviewed by The Daily Caller.

Let's cut to the chase about what really matters. How does DL feel about this Peoples person? Hot or not?

i live in china and i am so glad the government dumbed down the population so there is no nonsense

From records I looked up, he is 35 and was born in SF.

When Realtors go Bad

This is why I stopped walking in public while listening to music. I'm fully attentive in public. I'm not making it easy for strangers to murder me.

Christians behind the wheel -- GURL YOU IN DANGUH!

"I love you, Jesus."

Does this mean Mr. Peoples let Jesus take the wheel?

Don’t talk about losing control in a big metal machine

I don't understand the whole "We will hesitate to release the identities of the perpetrators because they are Muslim" thing. The media doesn't do that for any other religious or ethnic groups.

So they were hiding that he was black...

R91 made me LOL.

Isaiah. I don’t know any white men named Isaiah.

But Don Draper has to be white.

Look at all the communists in this thread pretending that this black criminal's Christianity is the real defining characteristic.

Blacks are 8x more violent, but keep bashing Christians and law-abiding white heterosexuals.

Religion kills again.

Racist @ r96, who I'm about to block -- how much do we bet when I block him, which I'm about to do, most of the 'phobe comments will disappear?

Cell phone video of arrest

Why is this being considered a hate crime?

r100 thinks blacks can't be racist, even though they commit 80% of inter-racial violence between whites and blacks.

It's being investigated as one, not considered one.

Who knows? Maybe because there's little evidence for other motives?

Forget about his victims. Will he retain the right to vote?

... and what is his opinion of Game of Thrones?

R103, it’s been done.

See r58.

Don Draper was heading to his bro's house to watch the Sharks play when this mess happened.

Isn’t Don Draper the guy from Mad Men? I thought that was a parody post when I started reading it.

Flava of da driva?

Don Draper knows when someone has been driving under the influence, believe me.

Did he just say: "Jesus is so amazing! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus!" ?

Er, say in that cellphone video, blah blah blah?

And stay out of Sunnyvale!

Why would a car do that? I hope that car FRIES for its sins against pedos.

r113 only bicycles should be legal. Nobody needs a four seater assault car that can kill dozens of people.

[quote]Driver mumbling ‘I love you Jesus’ after injuring 8 in horrific Sunnyvale crash

All the crazy anti Muslim conspiracists must have been so disappointed.

Yeah, I noticed the Tel Aviv crew disappeared (or hung around to admonish "racists") once we learned the driver was black.

The driver is being charge with murder.

Is Jim Choi any relation to Dan Choi? Some of you may remember Dan Choi who came out as gay in US military.

It's San Francisco and he's black. He'll get a slap on the wrist even if one of his victims dies.

Sunnyvale is not San Francisco. If that 13 year old girl dies, the guy will be in San Quentin sitting next to Scott Peterson.

Don Draper...teehee.

r5: There's definitely a scheme to promote right-wing views on YT. I primarily watch left-wing, anti-republican videos and episodes of MSNBC shows that I missed, yet it never fails that all of the recommended videos in the sidebar are right-leaning, pro-conservative, Faux News bullshit.

That 'Jesus' comment makes it sound like he was thankful for surviving a crash, albeit, one he caused. Any word on the motive? Neglagent driving? Suicide attempt? Political/religious reason? Or is he just a psychopath? I admit I initially assumed that it could have been some retaliation for the Church burnings overseas, but I haven't read anything saying the victims were Muslim or shared an identity that the average American would confuse with Muslim or Middle Eastern.

R117 we are still unclear on that. Is Choi a very common name in Chinese?

We believe he should have to do some type of community service, at the minimum. To whom much is given, much is expected.

The alt-right crowd must have blue balls. They were so hoping to blanket the internet with Muslim bashing.

Who is going to pay for all the injuries? Car insurance is capped at a certain amount, and because he wrote a bad check for the car registration, that means he doesn't have any money to go after.

Who said he wasn’t Muslim?

His facebook, r126, and his references to Jesus while in the crashed car.

So it was a brown person?

The Mercury News is the area paper.

Choi is a very common Chinese surname.

I thought Choi was Korean. The Choi family I know is Korean.

So is he yellow or brown?

The driver is Black, the cop spokesman is Asian.

[quote]Neglagent driving?

No, he was driving a car. Now whether he was driving it negligently is another issue.

I've never met any Chinese people named Choi. I've only met Koreans named Choi.

Was he a ventriloquist back in the '70s?

Choi is Korean.

It could be either Korean or Chinese.

WHET ever happened to Dan Choi?

R125 don't worry California taxpayers will foot the bill.

[quote]No, he was driving a car.

I'm sorry to disagree but I read that he was driving a Neglagent. A 1987 Neglagent Supremo.

This is far more about veterans’ mental health than all the racial suppositions in the thread.

I thought it was about 8 pedestrians getting hit by a reckless driver.

My bad, r141.

He looks hung. Will he get conjugal visits in prison?

Since the Merc R129 has a paywall, my local free paper states that Isaiah Joel Peoples, 34, is a former U.S. Army sharpshooter with a history of PTSD. He told authorities he intentionally hit people but has not said why. He is being held on 8 counts of attempted murder. He did not express remorse.

(Mercury News) Police have arrested Isaiah J. Peoples, 34, as the suspected driver who plowed a Toyota Corolla into a crowd in Sunnyvale Tuesday night, injuring 8 people. Here are five important things to know about him:

1. He is an Army veteran, who served as a gunner in Iraq in 2005.

2. According to his older brother, he showed signs of post-traumatic stress disorder and at one point had been hospitalized. The brother said their mother talked to him the day before the crash and told him that Isaiah seemed to be having “another episode.”

3. He worked in Sunnyvale for the Western Region Defense Contractors Audit Agency, a military audit agency headquartered in Virginia. According to the agency’s human resources department, Peoples began working there in August 2017, and is still an active employee.

4. After crashing his dark-colored Toyota Corolla into a tree, he was overheard by an eyewitness to the crash mumbling “I love you, Jesus” and “Jesus, I love you.”

5. His brother described the family as religious and said that their father was a non-denominational pastor.

He should have muttered: "Jesus take the wheel."

Where’s his god now?

[QUOTE] This is far more about veterans’ mental health than all the racial suppositions in the thread.

Well we still can't rule out terrorism. He was in the middle east, he could have been turned by the ISIS while over there and then activated as a sleeper cell "army of one" at this point.

Peoples' theme

NBCLA reports that he was on his way to Bible study when he ran down those people.

So a hate crime with a car not a mall. It is getting to be a regular thing.

R150 not even an adorable dope, you 😅

California driver plowed into victims because he thought they were Muslim, police say

An Iraq War veteran who plowed into a crosswalk intentionally targeted the victims based on their race and his belief they might be Muslim, authorities in Sunnyvale, California, said Friday. The investigation into Isaiah Joel Peoples is ongoing.

His car plowed into a crowded, popular street, then slammed into a tree, leaving eight people injured, including a 13-year-old, who is of South Asian descent. She remains in critical condition and is in a coma, with part of her skull removed to relieve pressure.

Her father and brother were also hit Tuesday when police said he drove intentionally into a crosswalk while on his way to Bible study.

r26, nobody fucking cares. Hit w&w. We don't need to know about it, you narcissistic half-wit.

All discussion of terrorism in this case will now end because he’s a right wing Christian.

Well per the latest from CNN I was wrong.

Sigh ...

It would be much more satisfying to hit you, r157...you type lonely....

Sunnyvale police say Isaiah Joel Peoples, the Army veteran with Sacramento ties plowed through a group in a busy crosswalk Tuesday because he believed some of the people were Muslim.

“Based on our investigation, new evidence shows that the defendant intentionally targeted victims based on their race and his belief that they were of the Muslim faith,” Sunnyvale police Chief Pham Ngo said, according to San Francisco television station KPIX. “We understand that you will have many questions based on this announcement. However, we will not be releasing further information for now.”

The victims include a critically hurt and comatose 13-year-old girl with a life-threatening brain injury, according to court documents. A portion of her skull was removed to alleviate what was described in the documents as “severe brain swelling.” Several other victims continue to recover in area hospitals with broken arms and legs.

Sunnyvale officials stopped short of classifying the alleged attack as a hate crime – for now. But Santa Clara County Chief Assistant District Attorney Jay Boyarsky denounced the act in a statement and said Sunnyvale stands with the young victim.

“Even before our decision, I will say this: if this is a hate crime, there are far more than eight victims. Hate crimes are a brazen attack on our entire community.... We stand together on that street corner. We stand together in that young girl’s hospital room,” Boyarsky said. “This community has been hurt – but we are strong and steadfast and we will stand together against violence, ignorance, and hate.”

The news on the girl’s condition came as Peoples, the 34-year-old Army veteran who attended Sacramento State University faced a Santa Clara Superior Court judge in San Jose for the first time Friday at his arraignment on eight counts of attempted murder.

[quote]All discussion of terrorism in this case will now end because he’s a right wing Christian.

Who got fucked up in the head over the atrocities he witnessed and possibly committed while fighting an unjust and unnecessary war that only benefited Israel. The Zionists got all the gains, the Christians bore the duty and the price.
