Were the "protesters" trying to close I-5 at 1:40 am? If so, sounds like they were rioters. Motorist could have been afraid for his life. Not a safe protest. Tragic, but a dangerous move by the anarchists. The mayor seems to think that the rioters have the right to shut down the interstate highway system. Why were the police not removing the rioters?

“The mayor seems to think that the rioters have the right to shut down the interstate highway system.”

... which receives funding from the U. S. federal government.

It must be a federal crime to shut down an interstate highway. If the people wanted to protest, there are thousands of places, and times safer and better than 1:40 am on a federal interstate highway. The rioters must have known they were risking their lives.

Those pukes posing as “protesters” should take this as fair warning that motorists will not be victimized by their antics.

Protesters should be charged with reckless endangerment

Tragic and stupid waste of life and human potential. Media induced hysteria results in deaths of at least one, maybe two rioters.

I cannot in good mind declare the young man at fault.

It’s a case of suicide by vehicle. She was one of several who placed themselves on a highway/roadway. It doesn’t matter, the foolishness and cowardice of the local/city/county/state governship.

She placed herself on that path, literally.

I grieve, for the young man. And that’s without knowing of his previous or current lifestyle.

It’s of no matter what he’s done: She set the suicide in motion, herself.

He’s paying for it.

“struck by a vehicle that drove”

The vehicle did that all by itself!

Artificial intelligence gone haywire...

Governor apparently believes rioters should be able to shut down interstate highway safely.

Lefties have been looking for another Charlotteville moment, it gave a lot of sympathy to their cause. That’s why they’ve been jumping onto moving cars.

The police had closed off the interstate to accommodate the so called protesters. The driver apparently drove up an exit ramp. Another example of the police trying to appease a bunch of criminals with tragic results.

Its all fun and games until someone becomes a hood ornament. One thing people aren’t discussing about the stupidity of the rioter’s actions is, the rate of DUI drivers at that time of the morning is very high which makes standing on a freeway even more dangerous.

The “female” that is still alive must be having a difficult time processing what happened?

Ilhan Omar is going to be in a pickle.

Defend what appears to be an Ethiopian or defend the white chicks blocking the freeway shouting BLM

***********

People need to wake up and smell the maliciousness.

The interstate highway shutdowns are all about interrupting interstate commerce. It’s not a protest. It was never a protest.

We can’t really start fighting back against these scumbags until we learn to see beyond the idiot slogans they use to sell their depravity to idiots.
