A city contractor who drove a snowplow through protesters last week had posts of Islamophobic and anti-protest content on her social media account in the weeks leading up to the incident.

The Star has learned that the name the driver gave to police is Athena Niggenaber, a Scarborough resident.

Wow, so there is clear motive for her illegal action.

"A few hours after Niggenaber drove the tractor through the crowd on Nov. 18, the X account under her name said “ban it!!!” responding to a post asking whether Islam should be banned.

“F—k off trash! Go back to the hole you came from. No country wants you. This is our country. You follow our rules or get the f—k out! Trash,” reads a Nov. 2 post on Niggenaber’s account, responding to a video of a Muslim woman in the U.K.

Another user posted a photo in May of a car sticker depicting a vehicle driving people over accompanied with the text “All Lives Splatter” and “nobody cares about your protest. Keep your ass off the road.” While it’s unclear which protest the photo is referencing, Niggenaber’s account responded with: “Discusting (sic) people … What is this world coming to?”"

Since she believes in immigration law so much perhaps a good dose of attempted murder and assault charges should be shown to her in a court of law.
