White man who intentionally drove into racial injustice protesters avoids prison, may have record expunged

[Ray From Cleveland]

Had someone mercifully flattened a bunch of MAGA-hatters on their march to the violent insurrection, you'd be singing a different tune - GUARANTEED.

I don't care who it is. You don't block the road on purpose. If you do, you should get run over.

After spending 76 days in jail, a white man who intentionally drove his vehicle through a crowd of racial injustice protesters in Iowa City over the summer will have his record cleared and avoid prison if he stays out of trouble during three years of probation.

Michael Ray Stepanek, 45, of Iowa City, drove his 1998 Toyota Camry through a group of protesters in late August, injuring at least one, according to police.


Stepanek told police the protesters needed "an attitude adjustment." He was charged days later with one count of assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, an aggravated misdemeanor, and one count of willful injury causing bodily harm, a class D felony.


But last month, a district court judge dismissed the first charge and deferred the second. Judge Paul Miller also suspended a $1,025 civil fine, according to court filings.

This is just another example of 2 Justice Systems in this country.

76 days in jail was not long enough for this hater.

Why do BLM and ANTIFA protestors feel entitled to block traffic and/or assault drivers? I’d like to see the details of this case. Did this Main who happens to be white intentionally go into blocked off area with a permit or did protestors take over a street to infringe traffic and assault drivers?

So anyone who gets in the street is fair game.

Getting in the street is one thing. Assaulting drivers is another. BLM and ANTIFA have proven to show entitlement for the latter.

1. Nearly all the BLM marches got a permit
2. Liar

Nobody issues permits to block the street so traffic comes to a halt.

far worse crimes have been dismissed or not prosecuted in 2020. I would
be interested in knowing the nature of the "injury". It is hard for me to
imagine someone PLOWING thru a crowd with a vehicle and not injuring
someone VERY SERIOUSLY. I have another case------but this time
"wrong race"

So it is ok for a white man to just drive his car through a group of protestors.

What does white have to do with it? These lowlifes have been stopping traffic all across the country, stopping emergency crews from getting to emergencies. How would you like it if your mother died from a heart attack because the ambulance had to detour taking it ten minutes longer to get to her house?

So if someone is in the street then you think it is ok to just run over them.

This has to stop. The only way to stop criminal behavior is with a strong enough deterrent. The more people that get ran over, the less of them will be out in the street causing trouble. It's why the Governor of Florida is trying to pass a law making it legal to run through a group of people blocking the streets, and I hope it passes so nobody goes to jail next time.

There are alot of things that have to stop, for one the things that are making people come out to the streets in protest. I know you will not acknowledge that because, as long as, it isn't anyone associated to you or your ilk you don't give a damn.

Definitely they whine about folks protesting in the streets, but will defend a bunch of right wing fools storming the Capitol and folks losing their lives. All of that is the acts of true patriots.

Of course, and beating a Capitol cop to death with a fire extinguisher was patriotic too!

2. Liar

Does the permit give rights to obstruct traffic and beat drivers? I’ve lived in DC my whole life and know what a peaceful protest with streets blocked off as per a permit looks like. 2020 showed us how rioters and protestors can feel entitled to step out of areas set by permits and assault and obstruct people. Prove I am a liar.
