Pathetic world we live in now.
This is why the private militias have been activated. To drive in these problem areas during these sideshows. You’ll soon see a large change.
Would the use of lethal force justified for defense in this situation?
Keep driving. It’s self defense. DRIVE right over them.
Shoulda just hit the gas pedal
F@#$% Newsome ! Wheres his outrage.
These pigs should be dealt with an impunity. There is a reason the police are better than the swine they eliminate. I hope the military secures our state, and soon.
I was born and raised in Sacramento – I left
This is really all I expect from Sac anymore.
It’s sad and disgustusting
If they had guns this wouldn’t have happened… In Florida they would be laying on the ground not moving.
Those sideshow freaks are very lucky this family was not armed as so many in the US are; could have been very different and waaaaay more frightening. Hopes for this family getting justice are few and far; hopes of arresting and holding the freaks responsible are also unrealistic: if the cops can’t stop a horde acting stupid on the streets, what chance does the public have against these crooks?
*#Sacramento** **#StreetRally** **#SideshowFreaks*
And they wonder why they were put in chains. Distasteful animals.
Another mob scene with no repercussions, it’s a free for all in sac these days, we’re going backward folks.
Cali itself is a sideshow…do this in another state, you will be shot by a concealed carry permit holder as you should be.
More great work by police. Happens at least once a month she said. To protect and serve my @ss
The second amendment to the Constitution covers this
The father didn’t have any medical insurance. I hope the mother and her sons had medical insurance.
Something just not right about that family, sad this happened to them but something just right
Whats their skin color?
she had a open path to just drive off but she wanted to be a true KAREN and stopped to run her mouth
Happy Black History Month!
I thought it said Sideshow Bob for a second….
They are just thugs waiting for an excuse to fight. Drones should be used to locate these kinds of activity with a toll free hotline for people to
report illegal activity to the police. Helicopters could swoop in and fire rubber bullets to disperse the crowd while keeping officers safe and send police cars to blocks the streets so innocent people don’t get hurt. Arrest everyone and put them in jail till they go to trail. They are violating numerous laws and endangering innocent people on public streets.
Those are the kids that ruin side shows if I were there I would have helped the family out could have taken some of there lives reason why I don’t go to sideshows anymore
yep
2nd amendment
Not racist,but i knew they were black
Savages,truly evil
Probably all our are felons, full of devil
Attacking people gives these side shows a bad reputation, I personally love side shows but this assault is NOT my amusement
If the punishment (consequences) for these behaviors were adequately severe, there would be a lot less of these behavior.
It’s gotten where you want to wear a disguise to look like them. Do some dark fake eyebrows, black hair, hoops ECT. They’re not here to be our equal. They’re most likely shopping visa tourists here with no money if you get that. Your their grocery store.
mob mentality this is sick man honestly, I feel sad that there is now a 6th mass extinction going on but when I see stuff like this idk man sometimes i feel like we deserve it but not everyone is like this but this mentality its defiantly spreading, we as a society need to be better otherwise what’s the point.
These criminals should all be sent 6 feet under. They are the scum of society. A bunch of pendejos. Jaja
Yes this is what happens in states where your right to bare arms are INFRINGED upon !!!!
What’s wrong with people
This is disgusting ! What kind of culture is this in America ? This needs to stop.
Seems like this nice mom pulled the whole family into an incident that could have been completely avoided & made a man out of her husband
This is why mass shootings happen
Shouldn’t have been messing around with people. She clearly was instigating and wanted trouble.
Them people shouldn’t have been in the Road 🤦
It’s a little bit boring here in Oklahoma but I dig it.
Guys she didn’t drive off and escalated the situation so she could start a gofundme and get money
Your wrong. They crowed her van and wouldn’t let her oass
Thugs. Animals.
well the fbi has a special group finding white supremacists maybe they will help
This is absolutely unacceptable.
So many slimey people in this country.
Blacks out of control once again
Hope they’re all caught and go to jail. Evil people exists
Always drive away
this is why I carry a 9 inch concealed knife
What the heck is going on in this world ? I’ve never ever heard of a sideshow until today. I live in a totally sheltered part of the world.
I have a tool in my possession that would insure my safety in a situation like this!
A van weighs a lot more than a person as well!
What a giant group of unintelligent people, , mob mentality, we should be repealing, government stipends and section 8 housing , and make these people work for a living
Lebums top drifters !
Diggers

I don’t get why she stopped and got out of the car? Then, the husband got out of the car to help? Help, by driving over the people attacking your family, dude! Welcome to California where crime runs rampant. Move to a state where people can carry guns. All it would take is one of those animals getting their cranium ventilated for the rest to clear out.
That’s so awful 😢…. Really! 🤷🏽♀️😳, punching a kid in the face, attacking the dad, so horrible… 😡🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I can’t
Can’t blame blacks for this one.
The law abiding middle and working class serve only one purpose in progressive Democrats minds. Pay taxes and fight our wars. Dying at the hands of the criminal class is simply the price we must pay for social justice.
NBC you backed this lawlessness of the Democrats and now honest tax paying citizens are victims!
So instead of just waiting for the morons to get their rocks off, SHE got out of her car to try to force a mob of people to clear a path. Big mistake! The cops were already on their way. She made the situation worse by engaging with the mob! She tried to Karen a pathway for her family and it backfired horrendously. I’m not defending the morons who did this but she didn’t help the situation at all. Everyone was dumb that night!
People who attack in mob groups are all cowards. Especially if you have out-number the opposition one out of 10.
Not concept of being civilized. Who raised these beings?
She stupid, drive through them an keep it moving! An I’m a black man with a 4×4, I’m not playing around with nobody!
This is a very good 👍 reason why China will destroy the United States of America because to much freedom and not enough control of society my the military and Government
Hispanics ?
A world of pure evil and hate, I feel for the Lady and her family.
NOTHING from the president
Few news stories. There must be a white privilege
Precisely why you need to be armed !
That just wasnt right! Smh!!! SideShow/Lames aka Street punks!!! No empathy for people!!💔 All of you must learn your rights from your wrongs or simply be punished. 🐾🤲🏾🦅
You dont harm innocent people, that’s just cowardly!!
Look how brave they are when they’re in a group. Each one individually is a complete coward and a waste of space
But if you just happened to defend yourself, well then you are a racist for hurting those thugs. Let’s please remember BLM! Don’t touch them.
Where are the Memphis police? These thugs need the Memphis police to teach them some lessons
California enough said. None of these scum will be caught or charged
When are people going to start calling this domestic terrorism
When we were bored years ago we hung out in a parking lot and didn’t bother anyone innocent. Today these lowlife and esteem fools have to pick on someone weaker and smaller than them. I doubt they do this to three big dudes in a different vehicle.
Young people just don’t have any moral standards anymore.
Without fear of consequences, the selfish will continue victimizing law abiding citizens.
Thank you woke California lawmakers:)
She should’ve got out! Looking Like a linebacker and still a victim! This is why we all need to carry. Even middle aged mommas
Election has consequences.
The “election” here does not only mean presidential, it could be State, County, City, any Federal or local elected officials. So next time when you vote DA, maker sure who you’re voting for.
“Sideshow bob” Lol
Anyone?
Wouldve been insane if father was holding and just started capping these dumbasses.
In the state capital of CA? Carrying a gun? I rather get jumped than end up in the state penitentiary for carrying a handgun. Lol.
They should of called the cops!
The cops didn’t do anything they were called 20min before this
See what happens when you are lacking prosecution . Soft on crime. There is no excuse for this. This has got to stop.. Not just side shows.. people running stop signs .. no respect for being civil.. Shame on the Governor and shame on the mayor.. They may as well endorsed this behavior…
That’s terrible..smh
That’s disgusting.. and who punches a kid in face..
Not one white person would ever do this
Build the wall.
What zoo is this
Those animals are a bunch of punks attacking a family with kids like that. Whenever these sideshows pop up the locals need to film them, call the cops, and get those involved arrested. Enough is enough.
Literally like zombie covering the streets.
Don’t antagonize or engage
They should track down n hunt everyone involved make them accountable for costs of damage and accountable criminally
how about if you see it go another way, don’t get out your car and try to confront the person or persons. How about don’t roll down your window either. this could have been avoided if she would have just turned around and not tried to POLICE the situation.. jmo. and don’t care of you like it or not. The parents put their kids in harms way for no reason. glad the kids weren’t hurt but sometimes ppls vest bet is to go another way. iam sure she was wondering what’s going in over here and got caught up.
That’s why you need to carry a self defence tool at all times. Specially the way people are these days. Animals are very unpredictable creatures…
At this point the car becomes the weapon…….
Sideshow culture is so weak.
These people are a bunch of degenerates. Obviously low intelligence. People acting like a bunch of apes on speed. I hope this family press charges against every single one of them. Hopefully the D.A. isn’t a wimp and makes an example out of them. The poor children can’t even feel safe in the car with their mom!!
These deviants didn’t care about the harm they were doing to children, they don’t deserve any leniency.
That’s horrible!!! Those lowlifes should get prosecuted and sent to prison. They are nasty criminals. What’s happening to our society? The police is now afraid of those nasty thugs.
great reason to arm yourself
Black people
