Moment two black protesters are struck by a white driver after they block her car and bang on it while marching against killing of Andrew Brown in North Carolina on anniversary of George Floyd's murder
2021-05-26
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] It was a Black Lives Matter protest, and people were banging on her car as she waited for them to let her pass. Like a swimming pool, the protesters could be considered an attractive nuisance, responsible for all that happened to them as a result of them being there.
  • Lisa O'Quinn, 41, charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill by the use of a motor vehicle

  • O'Quinn, who is white, is accused of hitting two black women with her car as they protested police killing of Andrew Brown Jr in Elizabeth City, North Carolina

  • Incident was caught on video recorded by a protester on Monday evening, just hours before one-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder

  • Protesters Michelle Morris and Val Lindsey, both 42, were hospitalized with injured after being hit by O'Quinn's Nissan

  • Police are considering charging O'Quinn with a hate crime amid claims that she was heard yelling the n-word

#6  I wonder if she'd have been charged if she had done it in SC?

#5  More from the article:

Records indicate that O'Quinn has an extensive criminal history in North Carolina stretching back to at least 2012, which includes convictions on misdemeanor charges of ethnic intimidation, carrying a concealed weapon, larceny and possession of stolen goofs, driving while license revoked, communicating threats, trespass and shoplifting. In each case, she was sentenced to probation, reported The Daily Advance.

As recently as last year, O'Quinn was charged with assault by pointing a gun and communicating threats, reported WRAL.

The fact that Ms O’Quinn is as bad as the protesters doesn’t change the fact that they were a genuine threat to her and any other drivers coming through, but I imagine it will make it harder for her lawyer.
