On the same day Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in a "politically-motivated" assassination, more "politically-motivated" violence occurred at peaceful protests across the country.

A man was arrested for reckless driving and is accused of intentionally driving into a group of people leaving a protest today, Culpeper police said. A group named Culpeper Democrats on Facebook said it happened at their No Kings rally on James Madison Highway,

Crowds of protesters gathered nationwide Saturday for ‘No Kings’ protests, opposing President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies. The demonstrations coincided with the Army’s 250th anniversary parade,

Motorists in two cities across the nation have struck “No Kings” protesters, according to multiple reports. Police detained two motorists whom they say intentionally drove into crowds of protesters in San Francisco, California and Culpeper, Virginia. There is no reason to believe the two incidents are connected.

The"No Kings" protests are planned to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab. The number of planned events is nearly double that of the April 5 "Hands Off" protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide.

The LAPD said on social media that the people in the crowd were throwing "rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects" while they were near the federal building.
