On October 23, 2021, the Palmdale Freedom Coalition joined Mandates Won’t Fly at the intersection of 10th Street West and Rancho Vista Blvd. Long before the rally was scheduled to begin, the PFC Prayer Team spent time on all four corners praying over the space and asking for protection. The rally officially began at 11am but by noon had swelled to over a hundred spread across the intersection. Some motorists honked, some expressed disdain, and spirits of the crowd were mostly positive with “Freedom” as the centerpiece of the message.
The event was slowing down by 3pm but came to an abrupt halt when a motorist drove their vehicle onto the curb striking a woman. The woman only suffered minor injuries and William Aslasken was arrested at his home an hour later by the Palmdale Sherriffs. He is being charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon by the local District Attorney’s office. Aslaksen has pleaded ‘not guilty’ and has an arraignment of information scheduled for February 24th at the Lancaster Municipal Courthouse. This story is ongoing and will be updated when information becomes available.
