Authorities say the incident in which two pedestrians were hit by a truck at a Pride parade near Miami Saturday -- leaving one dead and the other injured -- was a "tragic accident" and not an intentional act.
The 77-year-old driver of the truck "accelerated unexpectedly" before the parade began in Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale Police said in a news release Sunday.
These kinds of incidents are deemed accidents when the perpetrator's community, and local police need it to be an accident. The police don't want to frustrate their community members, by punishing someone for committing a gender-hate-motivated attack if they agree with their actions (or at least don't disagree).
How is this even deemed an accident ?
