A woman who drove her vehicle through a demonstration in Montana held by a sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites, injuring a protester, allegedly told a convenience store clerk that she was upset that the group is racist towards white people, Fox Carolina reported.
Members of the Israel United in Christ, which has been described by The Southern Poverty Law Center as “an extreme and antisemitic sect of Black Hebrew Israelites," were standing on a sidewalk holding signs and preaching through a microphone when the woman drove towards them more than once, resulting in a 45-year-old man sustaining minor injuries.
Genevienne Rancuret, 55, was arrested and charged with eight counts of felony assault with a weapon (her car) and felony criminal mischief and driving under the influence.

“She thought they were being racist against white people. She didn’t appreciate their interpretation of the Bible,” the store clerk said. “She made the comment, ‘While I’m in a Jeep, I should just run them over.’ I did not think she was serious and then she went to the exit and it was pretty obvious she was very serious.”
The clerk went on to say that Rancuret was emotional and crying and appeared to be intoxicated.
The Anti-Defamation League said the sect has referred to Jews as the devil and believes that Judaism is a false religion and Black people, Hispanics and Native Americans are the true descendants of the tribes of Israel.
