A car drove onto a closed freeway early Saturday and struck two people in a crowd protesting against police brutality, killing one and critically injuring the other, authorities said.
Summer Taylor, 24, of Seattle died in the evening at Harborview Medical Center, spokesperson Susan Gregg said.

Dawit Kelete of Seattle drove the car around vehicles that were blocking I-5 and sped into the crowd about 1:40 a.m., according to a police report released by the Washington State Patrol. Video taken at the scene by protesters showed people shouting “Car! Car!” before fleeing the roadway.
Love is in serious condition in the intensive care unit, Harborview, Gregg said.
Love was filming the protest in a nearly two-hour-long Facebook livestream captioned “Black Femme March takes I-5” when the video ended abruptly; with about 15 seconds left, shouts of “Car!” can be heard as the camera starts to shake before screeching tires and the sound of impact are heard.

The driver, who was alone, fled the scene after hitting the protesters, Trooper Chase Van Cleave told The Associated Press. One of the other protesters got in a car and chased the driver for about a mile. He was able to stop him by pulling his car in front of the Jaguar, Van Cleave said.
Troopers arrived, and the driver was put in custody, Washington State Patrol Capt. Ron Mead said.
Kelete was described by offices as reserved and sullen when he was arrested, according to court documents. He also asked if the pedestrians were OK, the documents say.

suicide by stupidity
Seriously trying to figure out even one reason to care?
These two were part of a violent mob hell bent on destruction & revolution which will eventually lead to mass genocide if they succeed.
My care meter is ZERO...
“How many days/hours before the mediots stop covering this killing.’
What killing?
Thanks, you are correct. I apologize.
I never forget that at age 16 or younger, George Washington was surveying frontier land alone and negotiating with the native inhabitants of colonial America. Zero excuses at ages 24 and 32 to play on the interstate, illegally block traffic, or create the scenario where drivers are harassed and attacked.
Boy i bet their parents are proud as punch.
Yes. But I’m sure there are more stupid death acts that will win.
This is war dude.
If you don’t think these two evil banshees were capable of murdering you and your entire family if they had the chance, I suggest you take a break from the news for awhile and catch up on some 20th century history lessons from Russia & Germany.
The people accountable for this is ANTIFA/BLM and these two dummies for breaking all sorts of laws that enabled it.
If this keeps up, eventually not one of us is going to be allowed to even drive on the roads anymore. Maybe that’s the plan?
“There’s a lesbian tattoo? Geez...I guess I must get out more. I had no idea.”
I will be 82 in a few months, and I was not aware of that reality.
Why isn’t this incident being reported through a racial lens? I’ve seen one reference to the race of the driver, but, since Love’s race isn’t mentioned, I suppose we can conclude hers. And, if correct, how different would news coverage be were the races reversed?
“This is war dude”
Oh you wont find me arguing with you on this point. Entirely in agreement. But Cussing these lowlife spoiled children will not do any good. I think we need to get the parents of these kids to start holding accountable the one’s who’ve brainwashed them. We wont get there by pointing out that they’re Scumbags. We have to appeal to the hearts. That’s why i refer to them as children. Because they’re someone’s children, and those parents are the ones who will be able to show damage in court. I’d like to at least give that a try before we start a shooting war.
You’re right these little Nazi Brownshirts would think nothing of painting a black stripe around my home and burn it to the ground. But they’re being enabled by an outside funding source. Someone is paying them to pull these donkey stunts! This is community organizing. This is Soros and his toadie obama turning our children against us and they must be stopped. Follow the Money, turn off the spigot and see how quick they turn on their former employers. I believe there’s a legal remedy from the DOJ. I think it should be pursued with great zeal.
Run in fromt of an oncoming car on a Highway and get hit and die....

ITS CALLED EVOLUTION IN ACTION - where the stupid and mentally ill are culled out of the gene pool.

Yes. George Washington’s white privilege did him no good. His father died when he was 11 and George spent the next few years bouncing between his mother in Fredericksburg, with relatives in Westmoreland and his half brother in Mount Vernon.
Not seeing the privilege yet.
Surveyor at 16, militia Major at 20, Lt Colonel at 22 and later Colonel and commander of all Virginia Militia for the duration of the French and Indian war.
Sounds like hard work to me.
Washington’s father and grandfather had been prominent people in the Virginia colony but George made his way by hard work and persistence.
Same with Abe Lincoln and a host of others.
And the bill will fall to the taxpayers. No harm, no foul....for them.

That would be a good salary for a 27 year old
He is a sales manager not product manager but might be similar.
So, the Black Driver is Batting .500, that’s better than Hank Aaron.
His job title was “Operations Manager.”

I would recommend avoiding the types of places that knowledge becomes useful.
