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.

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

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...

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?

“Video of the crash on social media showed a white car striking the women”

Well, I guess that’s the end of white cars...racist you know.

Block my vehicle and see what happens. You will be injured or killed - it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

To: All

police were given a thankless task of protecting reckless behavior of protestors at the expense of normal driving public involved in everyday activity on a public thoroughfare.

i am not a lawyer, but it is my impression that enforcing the law on an interstate freeway is the responsibility of the local state, which in this case is the state of washington. at least under normal circumstances, the public has a reasonable right to presume that the state laws are being enforced on interstate freeways, and normally, interlopers have a reasonable right to presume that they will be arrested on interstate freeways. in this case, it seems imho that the public trust has been violated by the state of washington. washington state tried and failed to shut down the freeway on behalf of the illegal protest, a fool’s errand to begin with.

it may be possible for me to give even less of a damn about this, but I rather doubt it.
