This evening, Jacob Oliver — a Trump/Jo supporter — attempted murder during a racial justice protest in Providence, RI.

I've included screenshots of his friends-only Facebook posts showing that he made fun of running over protesters & previously viewed streams of the protests.
Here's a post from 6/1/2020 where Jacob shares a meme regarding running over protesters.

"Yeah well, it's a highway so..."
On 10/20/2020, Jacob shared a stream of racial justice protests in Rhode Island by John DePetro, a far-right radio show host and self proclaimed "White Nationalist."
On 10/11/2020 in Warwick, here's a video of Jacob bringing his truck (the same one used during the attempted murder of racial justice protesters) at a "Trumptoberfest" rally.
Pictures/video of his car and *actual* license plate is in this thread by @AntiFashGordon 👇

And here's a picture from his Facebook profile of the same truck 👇
So I've had Jacob Oliver as a "friend" on Facebook for a while — he went to the same high school as I did — and noticed a drastic shift in his public political opinions when he proclaimed his support for Trump on 8/29/2020.
And here's some noteworthy Facebook likes, providing a view into the Right-wing propaganda Jacob was consuming.

Notable highlights: More John DePetro, Tucker, Crowder, PragerU, Turning Point USA....
And here's Jacob defending the EPHS principal who shared COVID-19 disinformation on her Twitter account.
