I can’t believe I’m just hearing about this story now!
Over the weekend, police in LA arrested a man who tried to run over Jews with his car.
Now, if this suspect was a white dude who LOOOOVED him some Trump, we’d hear about this 24/7. Buuuuuuuut here’s the thing: His name…is…*wait for it* Mohammed Mohammed.
Ohhhhhhhhhh.
One of the victims said they saw a Koran on his dash, so there’s that.
Some people in a Hancock Park neighborhood said a driver targeted them because they are Jewish. Now police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. Joy Benedict reports. pic.twitter.com/cu04OmMRQ9

Mohamed Mohamed Abdi tried to run down people leaving a Los Angeles synagogue. So far there seems to be no mention of this episode on the WashPost website. I wonder why. https://t.co/CGEuUSPvBt

Security video from Friday night shows the driver making a hard U-turn.
CBSLA interviewed one of the victims, who says he and his friend were the target.
“We both scrambled in different directions so he slammed on his brakes and missed us thank God,” the victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said.
A second security video shows the driver reversing and trying to hit them again.
“He clearly was going at us and it was even more clear on round two,” said the victim.
It happened on La Brea in Hancock Park, on a corner with a couple synagogues and on the Sabbath where many walk around in traditional attire.
“Why he chose us? Probably because of the yarmulkes on our heads,” the victim said.
“This guy had a thirst for blood on his fingers,” one of the victims said. “You could clearly see in his face that he wanted to do something.”
Again– why wasn’t MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, ALL of them– all over this?
Because it doesn’t help their narrative.
Unless the media can find a way to blame this on Trump, this story will die a quick death https://t.co/D0QLbapNc8
