BBC News reported 30 minutes ago one of the most shocking incidents in Los Angeles has just occurred. Fernando Ramirez – the man currently facing 74 serious charges – has been accused of intentionally driving his vehicle into a crowd, severely injuring 37 people. The incident not only sparked panic among locals but also sent shockwaves across the United States due to Ramirez’s alleged connection with a radical group involved in a previous attack on the White House.

According to eyewitnesses at the scene, a black SUV sped through the area at an alarming rate, showing no signs of braking before slamming into a crowd attending an outdoor event. Several people were thrown into the air, some were trapped under the vehicle, while Ramirez continued to accelerate as if on a deliberate mission to cause chaos. When arrested at the scene, Ramirez showed no fear or remorse. On the contrary, he reportedly smiled coldly as paramedics rushed the victims to nearby hospitals.

Police have revealed that Ramirez is linked to an anti-government extremist group that previously staged an armed assault on the White House months ago. Although that attack was quickly repelled and caused minimal damage, federal security agencies have since been monitoring key members of the group. Ramirez’s sudden and brutal actions are now believed to be part of a broader plan to instill fear and destabilize society, orchestrated by the same organization.

Ramirez’s criminal record spans over 32 pages and paints the picture of a deeply dangerous individual. In the past, he had been arrested for illegal possession of firearms, involvement in violent riots in Portland, and was previously investigated for ties to online extremist activities. However, authorities admitted they lacked sufficient evidence at the time to formally prosecute him. Federal officials have now acknowledged missing several warning signs regarding the severity of the threat he posed.

At a press conference this afternoon, the Mayor of Los Angeles expressed open outrage. She condemned Ramirez’s actions as “cold-blooded, premeditated, and a clear act of domestic terrorism.” She stated: “We cannot afford to ignore extremists living among us. Today’s tragedy is a wake-up call. Once again, deranged ideologies are turning our streets into battlegrounds.”

Meanwhile, the local community has organized prayer vigils for the 37 victims, including at least six in critical condition. Notably, nine of the victims were children who were enjoying a summer festival with their families when tragedy struck. A pressing question remains: how could someone with a history of mental instability, known ties to a violent organization, and a background of aggression be free to roam and own a vehicle without strict oversight?

Even more disturbing is the fact that, shortly before carrying out the attack, Ramirez posted a video to a far-right social media platform, in which he declared: “Nothing is impossible. They will know what pain feels like.” His twisted grin in the video has since haunted many viewers. The FBI has confirmed it has obtained the footage and is working with federal security agencies to track down other remaining members of the extremist group.

Ramirez’s lawyer made a surprising statement, claiming his client suffers from delusions brought on by radical online content and toxic internet echo chambers. However, given the high number of victims and the undeniable brutality of the attack, Ramirez is likely to face life imprisonment or even the death penalty under California law.

This incident once again highlights the growing threat posed by domestic extremist groups within the U.S. When individuals like Fernando Ramirez can execute such horrors in broad daylight, the public is right to fear for their safety in seemingly peaceful spaces. The government must now answer a chilling question: how many more must bleed before the nation seals the deadly gaps in its security systems?
