I guess some people are learning that in the real world there is no game reset if you get killed. There are no health points, potions or spells to make the boo boos go away.

Ever since James Fields was convicted for hitting a protester in Charlottesville, thus “proving” that hateful far-right people were trying to kill “peaceful protesters,” the left has been trying to produce another similar incident - that’s why they swarm car at protests, rather than, as common sense would dictate, let the car through.

BS! If she was so 'scared' what was she doing standing in the middle of a freeway at two in the morning wearing black. All she proved is that "some white lives don't matter to the Black Lives Matter terrorists.

I would suggest that playing Live Action Frogger on a real highway isn’t a very good idea. But, maybe I’m ignorant.

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


People issuing threats are just working out their beer muscles. People who do, don’t talk. People who talk, don’t do. Oswald never threatened JFK - he just shot him.

I thought they said the driver was being chased by the police because the car was stolen.

The driver, Dawit Kelete, who struck the two female black lives don’t matter useful idiots, is black. (He’s brown, really, like most “blacks.”) Summer Taylor, the dead one, and Diaz Love, the fearful, injured one, are white. Of course, the media are not reporting those facts.

Irony anyone?

The other female that was injured , Diaz Love, was filming, her video was still up on her Facebook page. They weren’t protesting, they were having a party on the freeway, called it a “black femme march’. Here is the link:

Says ‘this video may be sensitive to some people”. Big BLM supporter.

Nothing about this incident fits The Narrative. However, I say give it time. A way will be found to make it fit - even if it requires squaring the circle some way will be found.

‘she was “scared af” of going out to protest because of “death threats from various hate groups.”’

She ended up being killed by a black guy. The irony is way too thick here.

There are reports that the motorist ran past a police roadblock before striking the mutants on the highway. I've got two thoughts on that:

1. I had previously seen the incident on Twitter before it seems like it's been removed from a number of places. If this road was closed some distance away and this motorist somehow ignored it or deliberately got around it, then I'd say he's screwed.

2. There is a distinct possibility that the vehicles blocking the highway just upstream of where the impact occurred may have been the "roadblock" in question. If I remember correctly, there were at least two vehicles blocking the road there: a white van and a dark-colored car that may have had some kind of flashing emergency light on it (it was impossible to tell the color of the light, since it was a low-light condition and the video clip was damn near black/white quality). If THAT was the "police roadblock," then I'd say the motorist may have a good chance of avoiding all responsibility for the incident. the arrangement was half-assed, and was so far from anything I would remotely consider a minimally safe road closure arrangement that the Seattle PD bears more responsibility for this incident than the motorist does.

Here's a great "play-by-play" of the incident, including three different video clips spliced into a single 17+ minute YouTube clip:

Don't Play on the Highway

The car wasn’t stolen, the police were not chasing him, he was just a hard working dude trying to go home and these idiots ruined his life. Anyone attacking this guy is Antifa, you can make book on it.

“he story takes place in Seattle 145 miles away. But Portland is even worse”


Apologies. First cup of coffee, and I was musing on the ambush of Finnigan in Oregon, and his live televised murder as I doze-composed ... But yes, Seattle. And both states dis-allow use of HCQ + + as a prophylaxis for COVID19.

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

Perhaps her father never had “THE TALK” with her.

First point in the talk: Nothing good happens on the street after midnight in an urban area.

Second point: As an adult you are responsible for your safety and cannot count on other people to protect you from harm to life, limb or property.

Third point: Always be situationally aware and stay away from people and circumstances that might compromise your safety.

Fourth point: If you deliberately put yourself in harms way, you are probably going to be hurt badly and possibly killed.

I would now add a fifth point: Any person or group of people who suggest assembling on an interstate highway after midnight wearing dark clothes, for any reason, are insane and not your friends.
