Moment white female driver RAMS 2 black protesters with car as they bang on it in march before George Floyd anniversary
THIS is the moment a white female driver rams two black protesters with a car, as they block and bang on it in a march before the anniversary of George Floyd’s death.
Lisa O’Quinn, of Greenville, was captured striking two black female protestors during a march against last month’s police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr.
O’Quinn is facing two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill by the use of a motor vehicle, along with related charges, the Elizabeth City Police Department said in a statement.
Investigators have said they are looking into the possibility of charging the accused with a hate crime,
This came off the back of witnesses claims that O’Quinn was heard yelling racial slurs, including the n-word, at the protesters, who can be seen blocking her car and banging on it.
Lindsey appeared to have one leg wrapped in a cast when she spoke to the news station, presumably after sustaining an injury from the car.
Lindsey was calling for her alleged attacker to be charged with a hate crime, insisting that she must be held accountable for her actions.
Another protester, Linwood Gallop, backed Lindsey’s recollection of words being exchanged between those in the car, and protesters, before the women were rammed.
However, he couldn’t remark on the specifics.
According to records from North Carolina, O’Quinn has a lengthy criminal history stretching back at least to 2012.
This included convictions on misdemeanour charges of ethnic intimidation, carrying a concealed weapon, larceny and possession of stolen goofs, driving while license revoked, communicating threats, trespass and shoplifting.
According to the Daily Advance, she was sentenced to probation in each case.
