1. I say BS

[oberliner]

2. Hopefully we find out soon

I am just saying that some internet sleuths think they know who it is.

[MindPilot]

18. Yeah, the guy they arrested doesn't look that young from what I can see.

And it would be a very strange coincidence that the "anti-Trump teen" would be wearing the Nazi uniform of the day, white golf shirt and kakis.

[RKP5637]

3. I think they've already arrested them now.

[oberliner]

7. Interesting

Be curious to find out more.

[RKP5637]

20. It's always so hard to tell, sometimes, as there are soooooo many paths on the internet! n/t

[nolabear]

34. Oh, he's wearing the 45 golf togs uniform!

[RKP5637]

44. Ugly people dressing alike! n/t

[MFM008]

4. Right

That's why he hit the protesters.

[RKP5637]

13. F! If that was anti-Trump, I would hate to see Pro-Trump. n/t

[Lifelong Protester]

5. I heard there were not any plates. (ON MSNBC)

[oberliner]

12. There is a photo that shows the plates

That was posted in a few places.

[geek tragedy]

6. interesting twitter feed you have nt

[oberliner]

9. Thanks

It's amazing how quickly you can get info on there.

[geek tragedy]

14. you can get a lot bullshit rumors too, depending on the twitter feed nt

[oberliner]

24. Yeah it could definitely be BS

It just jumped out when I was digging around for more info about the car and the plates.

[brush]

8. That makes no sense. The people hit were counter demonstrators

Let's wait and see. That could be a cya story put out by guilty white nationalists.

[oberliner]

10. Could be BS

Just saying it is out there.

[geek tragedy]

15. care to link to the tweets discussing this? nt

[oberliner]

21. Well I don't want to put this person's name out there if it turns out to be wrong

If you search on twitter for info about the license plate, it will probably lead you there. That's how I saw it.

[geek tragedy]

31. tweets are public, people shouldn't start rumors like that with public

statements

[underpants]

11. That makes no sense

[oberliner]

16. Well it is quite possible that it will turn out to be wrong

I am just sharing what some of these internet sleuths are saying.

[world wide wally]

17. The guy on the ground is wearing the new official Trump alt_right uniform

Khaki pants, white golf shirt

[RKP5637]

28. His Red Hat "Make America Great Again" must've fallen off! n/t

[CountAllVotes]

52. The new Nazi "uniform" indeed

Nailed.

SAD!!!!!!!

[mr_liberal]

19. Im not surprised. I think this could be road rage. nm

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Not likely.

Race rage, probably.

[mr_liberal]

32. You hope. nm

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. Huh?

[brush]

59. What does "you hope" mean? What side are you on, "mr_liberal"?

[mac56]

61. Explain, please.

[mr_liberal]

71. He ran into the back of the other cars, it was crowd of mostly white people....

I think he could have just been frustrated by the traffic and commotion in the area, an area where maybe he works and lives. That he's anti Trump seems to support that possibility, if its true.

[tenderfoot]

67. Could be. How could we possibly know what's in his heart..

[Quixote1818]

22. There is a photo of him on the ground with the police next to his car. NOT a teenager. nt

[oberliner]

27. OK - it's probably BS then

Internet sleuths are often wrong.

[demmiblue]

23. Can you link to some of this chatter? n/t

[oberliner]

30. Do a search on twitter for info about the plates

That's how it came up for me.

I don't want to put this person's name out there if it is BS.

[geek tragedy]

35. lousy excuse, you shouldn't post rumors like that if you're so unconvinced of the credibility of the

source.

[oberliner]

37. I just said there was chatter on twitter about it

Which there is.

I didn't say it was credible.

[geek tragedy]

38. then you should delete the OP, there's chatter about a lot untrue nonsense nt

[oberliner]

43. I think it's interesting how quickly folks researched the plates and whatnot

Based on just a news photo.

I am fascinated by the way things move so fast in this internet age.

[geek tragedy]

53. what's the difference between passing on unsubstantiated, inflammatory rumors while

refusing to identify the source, vs trolling?

[oberliner]

58. Just sharing something I thought was interesting

The fact that there is twitter chatter about this, in and of itself, is fascinating to me.

[demmiblue]

56. Naw, I'll just wait (unless you choose to add a link to back up the OP). n/t

[herding cats]

25. There was similar 'chatter' after Dylann Roof murdered 9 black church members.

I'm equally skeptical now as then.

[hexola]

29. I think its BS also

Not adding up - and nothing conclusive...

Interesting watching his FB page blow up

[oberliner]

36. Probably

Like I said - it was just based on people searching up the plates.

[hexola]

39. I wonder if the plate number has some meaning

And might appear as a vanity plate in more than one state?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

45. The car or the plates could be stolen, so

whoever turns up as the registered owner might not have been the driver.

[oberliner]

54. That is a good point

Could certainly be a stolen car.

[Grassy Knoll]

33. I Heard It Was George Soros

[ADX]

41. I've seen pics...

...of the alleged "anti-Trump teenager" and that's definitely NOT him in the pic of the arrested driver.

[oberliner]

46. Maybe the car owner and car driver are not the same person

Or maybe the info derived from supposedly looking up the plate was BS. I just find it interesting how quickly people can get info these days.

[brush]

62. Ever thought maybe you shouldn't post unsubstanciated rumors?

[oberliner]

65. Why not?

It's a discussion board. We talk about things that are rumored all the time. And I made a point of not listing the person's name.

[CountAllVotes]

42. Why was the perpetrator wearning those clothes?

The photo showed a man wearing tan pants and a white polo shirt ...



Not a right-winger they say?

If not, then why is he wearing those pro-tRump clothes in the pictures that are out there? Envy?

[oberliner]

49. Yeah that photo definitely does not match the description I am reading of this person

I wonder if there is any connection or if they just got the wrong info.

[NotASurfer]

47. Putin's disinformation apparatus at work

Let the police do their jobs, if they have the car in evidence and driver in custody, we'll have a good accounting within 24 hours or so. Meanwhile, news from the medium that gave us Twitler is not highly reliable

[hexola]

48. Or possibly his father

Connecting the dots

[HipChick]

50. Alex Jones was pushing this meme too...

[Grassy Knoll]

64. Ahh, So Thats The Source

...Some People Say.

[Alice11111]

51. So why would he be hitting resistance protesters?

[WinkyDink]

55. I thought civilians couldn't trace license plates.

[HipChick]

69. The license plate information has been posted all over the internet...Names and all..

seems as though a father 51yrs purchased it for his son...
I am not going to repost the info here...

[GeorgeGist]

57. Khakis and Polo shirt.

[oberliner]

60. Yeah - stolen car maybe?

Or they just looked up the wrong info.

Or someone is pulling a fast one.

[tenderfoot]

63. Way to plant that bs story seed

eom

[oberliner]

66. The seed was planted on twitter - I was just letting folks here know that it was out there

There is no harm in having an awareness of this sort of thing, in my view.

[tenderfoot]

68. lol

eom

[HipChick]

70. Someone ran a query on SearchQuery engine..

at this point, we don't know if the plates or car was stolen..

[NightWatcher]

72. Doesn't it violate TOS to repeat RW talking points?

Please take this down so DU doesn't look like we're forwarding conspiracy crap. DU threads pop up on google searches, you know.
