Truck driver from Trump 'rolling rally' who fired gun on I-270 turns himself in

Source: Columbus Dispatch

The driver of a pickup truck accused of firing a gunshot at another driver while participating in a "rolling rally" in support of President Donald Trump on Saturday morning turned himself in to police that afternoon.

Todd Crawford, 58, of Homer, has been charged with discharge of a firearm on or near premises, a third-degree felony, according to Hilliard police. He was transported to the Franklin County Jail.

In a statement released Saturday night, police said Crawford fired a single shot from a .45-caliber pistol into the cab of a semi-truck at 10:44 a.m. while participating in a caravan of vehicles on Interstate 270 northbound, south of Tuttle Crossing Boulevard and north of Davidson Road. No one was injured.

The incident followed an altercation between the drivers, police said.

I know the area well. Lots of red necks there who like that Trump has given them the right to
use the n****r word again. I betya this boy thinks he is keeping the world safe from Antifa
attacks.

BTW I used to deer hunt and grew some trees around there and being white guy driving a
pick up truck more than once I got to hear their views on the world. Did you know that
Barack Obama was going to use the U.N. to bring in Hamas fighters in order to get a 3rd
term and take our guns?

which is the right answer. But he will lose the right to possess a firearm until he gets a pardon, which usually involves a man- years-long waiting period following conviction.

I am sooo grateful for this reminder of what the War on Iraq was really all about. I spent about 10 years working hard in the Peace Movement to prevent and stop this war. Looks like I was eventually successful in the court of public opinion, except for the top 1% who did well off it while others died.

They are so angry and unpleasant and dangerous. They poison everything they touch. Their presence is akin to a stinky fart in a crowded elevator. They ruin it for everyone. Blech!!

was trimmed and most social workers dispensed with as part of the Reagan revolution.

Still, this one at least didn't need professional help to realize he went way too far.
