6:18Now PlayingGlenn Reynolds is a columnist for USA Today who apparently thinks black protesters are like zombies, and white people should get in their cars and run them over. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Glenn Reynolds, a USA Today columnist and University of Tennessee law professor who goes by the name Instapundit, said on Thursday morning that he will not apologize for a tweet urging drivers to run over protesters in Charlotte, North Carolina.
