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.

If you're asked the identify the shooter, remember: You don't have to.

Watch them imprison the shooter and let go the driver because car drivers could never do any wrong.

Watch them imprison the shooter and let go the driver because car drivers could never do any wrong.

False dichotomies aside, it's against the law to hurt people with a car. While intoxicated it's a bunch of felonies. And vigilante gun-clutchers shooting at people being restrained is no different from cops shooting at a guy locked in back of a cop car, except the latter has less collateral damage and better muzzle discipline.

Acts of violence with cars are notoriously underpunished. Some bullshit about the unrealized power and semi-autonomy of a vehicle in motion

Car-centric culture really is fascinating, isn't it? In a sad, morbid kind of way

Police said they arrested the driver, Fernando Ramirez, 29, who was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He is currently hospitalized and has not been booked into jail, the LAPD said. His condition was not immediately known.

That doesn't look like the car I was expecting.
