Shutting down a highway is a terrorist act.

During the Trayvon Martin protests in Seattle, the police were trying to keep protesters off the freeway so they didn’t get hit by cars. That was then. Now it’s let the “peaceful” protesters do whatever they want and make everyone else responsible for it.

This one isn’t going to be it. Driver was a black guy.

But from the start, the MSM made sure everyone knew the car was WHITE.

Tragic, but a dangerous move by the anarchists.

Antifa doesn't actually put themselves in danger. They get stupid girls like this to do it. They hoped it would be a white driver, but they had to settle for a white car.

Perhaps the motorist simply wanted to make sure that "Dawit Kelete" didn't become the Hindi or Somali translation for "Reginald Denny."

A valid concern, except that he's going to have a hard time convincing a jury that at the speed he was going, he felt threatened by anyone on the road.

If you stand in a lane of the interstate, at 1:30 AM, clad in black, just what do you expect to happen? No sympathy for this sh*thead. None whatsoever.

The lawsuits begin in 3,2,1. The ultimate irony will be lawsuits against the very people (mayor, governor, highway patrol) that facilitated the illegal activity.

It’s that moment that concerns me. Not why he was where he was: She put herself in his path.

She was betting that no one would hit her or her friends.

How many folks prior to this age of babyisms would have taken such stupid steps to place themselves in danger en masse?

He’ll pay for his violations of the road law.

She simply compounded the interest.

This whole incident is just one major FlusterCuck from beginning to end

From asking to demonstrate on the Interstate after dark.

The granting of permeation

The closing of the only the entrance ramps

The creation of fear in motorist by all of the current mob attacks on them.

There is plenty of blame to go around here. But as usual it will be the Taxpayer who will get the bill.

I see the same nonsense in northeastern NJ where stupid people, having been raised with “pedestrians always have the right-of-way” ringing in their ears since birth, just walk into dangerous every day situations assuming drivers 1) will see them, and 2) are able to stop. It doesn’t work out well.

If the driver were White, the media would be calling it murder.

Saw pic of those two “women”.
Maybe they were out there to find a Black for a boy friend.
...some Black dude unknowingly was saved from a terrible fate.

Dawit Kelete, the driver, is black. One has to google his image to find this out.

from your posted article:
“Fifteen seconds was plenty of time to get out of the way, but for someone doing a video, their first reaction might be to get some video. “

y’all will have to slow this new perspective down to 50percent speed to see it, but watch carefully and you can clearly see what I think is Diaz, dressed in all black, step directly into the path of the vehicle that would not have struck her had she stood still or taken a step the other way

That woman’s blood is on THEIR HANDS...no one else’s.

She is an adult woman, she earned some responsibility. BLM told her to go there, so they share some, too.
