DURHAM, N.C. — The driver of a large pickup truck who ignored protesters in a Durham street on Monday afternoon and drove through the crowd will not be cited, police confirmed.

No one was hurt, but several protesters outside the Durham County Jail tried to stop the truck from driving through their rally.

The protesters said they did not have a permit to close the road.

The organizers of the protest were Durham Beyond Policing Campaign, Black Youth Project 100 and Inside-Outside Alliance.

I believe they were protesting over-policing. And there ya have it...

“And so, everyone, no one was injured, but it was really scary and it was scary to see that blatant disregard for human well-being.”

Had the "protestors" not already had blatant disregard for other humans to travel unimpeded, as well as for common sense about walking on a road filled with heavy moving objects, none of this would have happened.

They really do believe that their precious little "feelings" are more important than the rights of other people, don't they?

People get dumber every year. There was a time when most people in this Country knew that if you stood in a street you might get hit. These dipshits do not seem to understand that simple truth!

"...truck driver won't be cited..."


Nor should he. People surrounding an innocent and unsuspecting driver just driving down the road are not there to graciously serve tea and crumpets.
That is how drivers get yanked from vehicles and get assaulted/murdered. This driver made correct choice.

It’s called the entitlement mentality my friend and it’s killing this country.

I guess their parents were so busy in their own lives that they forgot their kids ‘not to play on the freeway’ OR: they told them to go play ‘on the freeway’ to get them out of the house...

Whichever it’s a lack of ‘common sense’ for most of the actions of these kids today...take away their ‘electronic toys’ for a few years, bring back the ‘sandboxes, Tonka trucks, paper dolls’ and let them learn how to really play and talk and be social again, like talking to a real live human being instead of a electronic devise’....ya think?

Reginald Denny should have made a similar choice during LA riots.

I admit I do worry about getting into one of those situations where people block your way, surround your car, yell at you, or even begin to bang on the car.

I know I have the capability to be a hot head, and I am always concentrating on maintaining discipline and civility, but...if someone blocks my way on my way to work or anywhere else (God forbid a hospital or airport designation)...I have to wonder how I am going to take that.

Especially if it is liberal pukes doing it. I have to drive by moonbats with liberal puke signs on occasion, and it is all I can do to limit myself to muttering and shaking my head.

I remember this assault on liberal reporters from the Virginia-Pilot Newspaper back in 2012:

http://pilotonline.com/news/local/crime/year-old-charged-in-assault-on-two-pilot-reporters/article_60cc9da0-ac96-54b6-9f46-895cdf3b8c3f.html

The affirmative action police chief said there was nothing racial about it, but...that wasn’t what the mugged liberal reporters said. And, I believe, they remained liberal, making excuses for their attackers, IIRC.

I swear, liberalism is a suicidal mental illness.

These protesters are terrorizing an innocent person. They should be arrested for threatening him and violating his rights.

"...Reginald Denny..."


That poor unfortunate man never knew he was about to become an indelible part of history.
I decided in 1992 that I will never stop for an angry and bloodthirsty crowd...yet will lean on horn so they can reconsider their choices.

“This driver made correct choice.”......

A clear case of “self defense”!

The state of Montana and I believe also one of the Dakotas is now trying to make it legal for drivers who feel their lives are in danger to strike traffic impeding Street protesters.

I don’t know the legislative status of the proposed law however I believe it should be in all 50 states.

"There were people with different mobilities that weren’t able to run and pick up and move,” said protester Christine Hawn.

Maybe illegally loitering in the middle of a street to stop traffic isn't for everybody. Just one Deplorable's opinion.
