A man was dragged from his car by enraged bystanders and shot after he plowed a vehicle into a crowd in Los Angeles, leaving seven people critically injured and at least 23 others hurt outside a nightclub early Saturday morning, police said.

Cameras in the area are still being canvassed, but the incident appears to have been intentional, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Two law enforcement sources familiar with the situation said the suspect was kicked out of the venue for being intoxicated and disruptive.

    Using a car as a weapon is disturbingly, horrifically romanticized in the minds of a certain subset of Americans.

    Regardless of the driver being shot, I’m actually glad there’s a headline of someone driving into a crowd getting pulled out of their car and getting their ass beat. Fuckwads like that need to know they’re gonna get fucked up real bad if they try that shit.
