OMAHA — A student was struck by a vehicle during an anti-ICE rally Thursday in front of Fremont High School. The SUV, which displayed a Trump flag, fled the scene, video of the incident shows.

The episode was captured and shared first by News Channel Nebraska, which also reported that the girl was alert as she was taken by rescue personnel to the hospital.

Fremont police did not immediately respond to a reporter’s calls. School officials released a brief statement, which in part described the 2 p.m. rally as a non-school sponsored, student-led demonstration.

U.S. Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., who owns News Channel Nebraska and represents Fremont, released remarks on social media, and shared the video. He called the incident disturbing.

1. "This is not what we do in Nebraska -- this is not ok," said Flood.

Apparently. No one would ever do that.

The driver had exited his car, confronted protesters, returned to the cat, and after revving the motor ran down the student.

"This is not what we do in Nebraska — this is not ok,” said Flood.

3. Except that it happened in Nebraska, so it is something people do there . . .

"This isn't who we are" - actually, it fucking is.

2. So the guy drove by several times. Then stopped in front of the demonstration and got out of his SUV.

He was presumably walking around giving them some shit .
He gets back in and one of the demonstrators stands in front of his vehicle holding up a sign and he plows right into her on purpose.
That's what I get watching the video.

4. Forget it Jake, its Nebraska

They will most likely charge the young woman who was hit.

5. Where's law enforcement? The video has a clear view of the tags on the SUV (news station pixelated the front one).

Should be easy enough to trace back to driver. Assault with a vehicle and hit-and-run.
