Black Lives Matter claims to want to “protect” black people from the “racist” police.
The Official website for Black Lives Matter calls for getting rid of the police. Their exact words are:
“We call for a national defunding of police.”
However, in Seattle, after a black man drove his car into two white, female protestors who were standing in the middle of the road, Black Lives Matter called the police.
Calling the police because a black man hurt two white women is completely and totally 100% hypocritical on the part of Black Lives Matter.
Especially considering the fact that the two white women had chosen to stand in the middle of the road.
Oh gee. I keep using that phrase “middle of the road.” It”s time to get me some Pretenders:

Anyway, it’s true that the road had been supposedly closed to traffic, but this was not enough to stop the driver.
The protestors were standing in the middle of the road, and yet they acted shocked when some of them got hit by a car.
Here’s video of the incident, followed by the obligatory “shocked” scene from the movie Casablanca:

One of the protestors who got hit by the car has since died from her injuries.
After the incident happened, but before one of the protestors died from her injuries, Capt. Ron Mead of the Washington State Patrol said:
“Whether they’re protesters, whether they’re homeless, whether they’re broken down motorists, the freeway is simply not a safe place for pedestrians and we’ve said that steadfast… My hope is the result of this tragedy, the protesters will reconsider their desire to be on the interstate because I cannot guarantee their safety, plain and simple.”
I agree with everything that Mead says, except that I do not share his optimism that left wing idiots will stop standing in the middle of the street. This is not the first time that left wing idiots who were standing in the middle of the street ended up getting hit by an automobile. The left wing idiots didn’t lean from past incidents, so I doubt they will learn from this one.
If I read a previous article correctly, the protesters were why the road was closed. The cops let them shut down the road? Hmmmmmmmm.....
The Israeli’s know how to deal with that kind of stuff .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk8SsM5hZ5s I smile every time I watch this video.
Standing on an interstate in the dark when drivers’ reaction time is the amount of time it takes a car to travel the distance the headlights illuminate is an incredibly stupid thing to do. No one wants to hit a pedestrian and if some morons stand where only vehicles are supposed to be it’s the fault of the pedestrian not the driver
Death Race 2000! He got 1000 points!!
Deceased woman was Summer Taylor.
Summer ended early.
Protestors dressed in black, at 1:30am, try to block a major interstate (illegally) and they get hit by a car (driven by a black guy) using that interstate (legally), and BLM claims it was the drivers fault because he's racist....
Excuse me while my head explodes...
The "road" referenced is i/5, the only interstate north/south freeway in western washington, normally bumper to bumper traffic @ 60mph+.
They are not hypocrites. They are antifa soldiers who are the paramilitary wing of the democrat party. Why is this so hard for some people to comprehend?
JoMa
Didn’t that road happen to be Interstate 5? It’s a federal highway? Wouldn’t that be under the jurisdiction of the feds where federal Marshals could be used? It’s not peaceful to block roads without a permit. All I can say is get out of the way when I’m coming in my truck. I’m not ending up like Reginald Denny. Plus I’m always armed now. Screw the concealed carry law.
Stay out off the freeway and you don’t get run over! Sorry, these are our enemies.... I do feel for the family.... but that’s one less rabid Marxist trying to steal the future from my children.
Exactly.
Not peaceful.
Not a petition for redress of grievances.
Not behavior protected by the first amendment.
Why is this still being tolerated?
Are there no local elections in the fall in these cities? Who would vote for politicians who tolerate and excuse this nonsense, day after day after day?
So how is BLM going to martyr a white woman killed while protesting by a black guy? Is that why we haven’t even heard her name in the media? Is why we haven’t heard the driver being labeled as a white supremist Trump supporter? Is the truth too overwhelming to be twisted and distorted to fit their sick evil agenda? Have the facts actually prevailed?
Does her head come off? I cant watch it again because that is what it looked like to me.
There was not a death at the scene reported. The fatality occurred later in the hospital so I don’t believe there was a decapitation. Auto pedestrian accidents are always ugly.
I believe this incident involved two individuals receiving poetic justice: a female and one male pretending to be female.
The local commie TV station covered it, but refused to show us a picture of the man or tell us his race. Obviously wanted us to think it was a Whitey who ran over some non-Whites.
