Injured Seattle Protester Feared Going Out to Protest After 'Death Threats'

Just hours before the incident, Love had taken to Facebook and revealed in a post on Friday that she was "scared af" of going out to protest because of "death threats from various hate groups."

What I saw was an ANTIFA ambush set up on I-5 with white vans parked sideways across the lanes, and rioters standing in the shoulder lane. The white vans block the view down the freeway to the driver, forcing him to the shoulder area. Most scatter from the path of the oncoming car, but the perps who were hit ran across the freeway to stay ahead of the car (in order to stop it). And he hit them, then stopped. At this point he heard someone say "kick out the window", and there was a loud bang, and the driver took off. I didn't see this interpretation after reading 40 comments in prior story by AP, and though it needed be laid out.

The message is clear - at this point in time you need to have a gun with you if you visit Portland.

She didn’t fear playing on a highway at night?

[Tejas Rob]

There are people here attacking the driver, so no where is safe apparently.

[Fai Mao]

Evidence of the threats or they didn’t happen.

[dfwgator]

Driver should get a medal. I don’t care who he is.

[SaxxonWoods]

Yes, running in front of a moving vehicle is rather stupid.

Driver had no way to avoid hitting them.

[Bonemaker]

Next time she should believe the “hate groups”.

From mom’s basement and free wifi into their own hell hole. But the wont make the connection. Students of history they are not.

or Seattle

The authorities should investigate these “threats”. My guess is that there were absolutely no “threats” of any kind, and that she was just lying.

[arthurus]

Indeed.

[broken_clock]

I watched a slowed down video of the event and I agree the women hit assumed the car would stop. In the slowed down video the first woman just stands there not moving as the car hits her.

[PghBaldy]

The car hitting the rioters will hopefully others think twice about endangering drivers & their passengers by blocking interstate highways.

Two points of advice:

1) Don’t “protest” in traffic on a highway;

2) If you don’t want to really get hurt don’t wear a MAGA hat.

[arthurus]

They were in her daydreams.

[Orosius]

It’s always a laugh to hear a member of a violent mob whine about getting death threats from unnamed “hate groups “.

[reagandemocrat]

Darwin Award!

The message is clear - at this point in time you need to have a gun with you if you visit Portland.

```
the story takes place in Seattle 145 miles away. But Portland is even worse

[rlmorel]

She obviously didn’t fear for her safety enough.

Let’s see...manufacture a threat of violence from some mysterious “hate group”, whip your own brain in Orwellian fashion to BELIEVE your own fabricated threat and then...

Forget to do the comparative risk analysis that shows blocking an interstate highway illegally and cavorting around on said highway wearing black clothes late at night is a million times more dangerous than fake threats of violence you made up in your pathetic head.

[Highest Authority]

Anyone attacking a person just because they are wearing a MAGA hat is mentally unhinged and belongs in an institution for a very long time
