Car swerved to miss most of them


How about the car swerved to miss the other cars blocking every lane of the interstate. The driver took the path of least resistance, and that just so happened to be those two people.

Oh well.

From the article:

quote:

Mead said at the press conference that protesters had shut down the interstate for 19 days in a row. He emphasized that the freeway is “simply not a safe place” for pedestrians, and said he hoped protesters would cease what he termed “unlawful behavior” in blocking the interstate. “My hope is, as a result of this tragedy, protesters will reconsider their desire to be on the interstate because I cannot guarantee their safety, plain and simple,” Mead said.


They have done this for 19 days straight? How about not letting them obstruct the roadway? And it’s not a “closure” of the road. That would be something like a construction related closure. This is a criminal act that is obstructing a highway. And that will be the drivers legal defense. They were in the commission of a crime and were injured during that commission. Pretty sure he will walk criminally and civilly unless he does something stupid like makes a statement.

The Dem leaders running these towns WANT this to happen.

Allowing idiots dressed in black to block the only open lane on an interstate that's not well lit? Yeah, that's begging for something like this.

They got it. Now the LCD and their MSM can make these idiots into martyrs.

If the guy went up the ramp the wrong way, he intentionally ran people over.

... “hmm, if we’re crazy enough to stand in the freeway - could there people other people crazy enough to drive through us?” Let’s test the situation...

Protest in front of city hall or the PD HQ not the freeway.

Man, that's horrible.

Praying that the damage to the front of that car don't cost too much. Hope he didn't break the windshield.

What sucks now is those useless fricks are probably going to sue the city for "letting this happen", because the police "should have been there protecting their right to protest".

I am hating this bullshite by the media, "a protest-related closing" of the fricking interstate? Did they have a permit? You know, the one and only thing that would allow them to protest in the road like that? Let's not forget that rarely, if ever, is a permit issued to block a major roadway or interstate for a protest. And they were "allowed" to do this for how many nights?

That useless count of mayor in that city needs to be recalled and thrown in prison.

No they were dumb to do this right after a curve where there are blind spots. It was a matter of when someone was going to get hurt with where they positioned themselves. Sorry by physics always wins.
