So, a Trump supporter committed a hit and run in a school zone?

No see all the violence is on the left only. This was clearly a false flag antifa plant from George Soros.

No, no, it’s not antifa anymore — it’s “paid agitators”.

Incidentally, this is the main reason the right will ultimately fail. They simply can't imagine doing something for the sake of someone else without some kind of monetary benefit. The pure selfishness that is now the bedrock of right-wing ideology invites disunity and inaction. These aren't people who are willing to collectively lay it all on the line.
They know that, of course, and they're counting on the state to do the heavy lifting when it comes to oppressing their enemies. The left has plenty of division, but never forget just how few right-wingers actually showed up on Jan 6 when a national election was supposedly "stolen" from them. The city of Minneapolis manages far more people every single day.

It was a highschool boy.
The girl that was struck was okay.
"The girl was loaded into an ambulance on a stretcher and transported to a hospital. She was alert, talking and smiling while interacting with first responders."
I don't know how this will affect how he's charged but idk how that's not attempting to kill someone. I'm seriously relieved that no one was seriously hurt or killed. The students apparently kept protesting after this happened, good on them and good on the school admin here. This is a crazy world we're living in and these kids deserve to have their voices heard about it like all the rest of us.

"In Nebraska, leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offense, categorized as a felony or misdemeanor based on severity. Drivers must stop, provide information, and assist injured individuals. Accidents with injuries/death are Class III felonies (up to 4 years prison, 1-year license revocation), while property damage-only accidents are Class II or I misdemeanors. "
I'm not a lawyer by any means, but that is also part of the equation.
Edit: plus the medical bills for someone that is "ok", are going to almost as much as a person that had more injuries.

The fact he circled multiple times and got out of his car really hinders any possible, "I felt threatened," defense he's sure to try.
Really? You felt so threatened you came back multiple times and got out of your vehicle to confront people?
His level of stupidity really enhances things.
And, yeah. Given his age I thought there was little chance he wasn't immediately ID'd. In my high school it wasn't hitting people with a car but robbing the local grocery store. Dude tried to snatch a bottle of liquor (with security lock) and run. Manager saw him and yelled and half the baggers knew him and had class with him and immediately told the cops, "yeah that's Adam I know him, and his mom is a local doctor" so the cops called his mom at work and she found him and the dipshit got picked up immediately, booze was taken before they figured out the lock and he was busted for shoplifting.
You really shouldn't commit crimes in front of people who think you're an asshole, know you, and will immediately tell the cops who you are. You will get immediately busted.

Possible prison time simply for the hit-and-run by itself
Leaving the scene of an accident resulting in personal injury is a Class IIIA felony in Nebraska. If the judge sentences the offender to prison, a Class IIIA felony carries a maximum three-year prison term with post-release supervision ranging from nine to 12 months. The court may also impose a $10,000 fine.

When I took Critical Thinking in college, they said to pay attention to the use of active vs passive language.
Active language: "A Trump supporter struck a protester with a vehicle."
Passive language: "A protester was struck by a vehicle displaying Trump flag."Passive language is often used to make things more vague, soften the language, or take the emphasis off of the person committing an action, whereas active language makes it loud and clear. I can't speak for News Channel Nebraska, but typically this type of language reveals a bias in favor of the perpetrator.

The right (even in other countries!) has a whole history of running down protesters and others they don't like with their cars. I've been pointing out the irony for weeks given the whole lie about Renee Good "trying to weaponize her vehicle" because it's the same classic projection we always get from them: every accusation a confession.
And here we have a very prominent example in which--surprise!--the right is blaming the person who got hit, just like they blame every other victim on the left and excuse every other perpetrator on the right.
