Clearly you're unfamiliar with the facts.
The Washington State Patrol had closed the freeway an hour before the collision.
The driver drove past police barricades, drove the wrong way down an off-ramp, then onto the closed freeway so he was going the right way.
Driver swerved at high speed onto the shoulder and drove past several cars that were parked sideways across freeway lanes to prevent anyone from colliding with the people on the freeway.
Driver then swerved at high speed to avoid a crowd standing on the shoulder and into the two women who were hit.
Please explain what reasonable and responsible actions the driver took that makes it okay to hit pedestrians standing on a freeway closed off by the police.
I'll wait...
Please tell me you’re joking. I’ll wait.
The vehicle cleared a blind curve and the brake lites came on about 150 feet out. He had three choices in that 150 feet: hit head on and die, try to broadside and probably die, or cut around the only opening, the slow lane, and maybe roll before dying. He picked door number 3. He was still braking as he fishtailed, stopped after impact, drove slowly down to the underpass, took off with emergency flashers on when threatened. Pulled over again until threatened again. Still had the flashers on when he reached an offramp and the safety of police.
SPD/WHP had closed the on ramps not the off ramps. The protestors were fully aware the offramps were not closed. One girl livestreamed herself telling her mom how to get on the freeway to join them using the off-ramp. So again, the group knew and can’t after the fact blame off ramps not being blocked. The driver, allegedly also a protestor, used an off-ramp same as protestors have done.
See my previous post that the group just showed up when they felt like it, and expected SPD and WHP to jump at a finger snap regardless of what else was going on, completely oblivious of what goes into closing a multi-lane interstate in both directions. To be noted, a few minutes before they got to the freeway, a female protestor tweet-admitted to intentionally ramming her car into that of an offduty white female officer they seem to have it out for, which resources also had to respond to.
Lol, “pedestrians standing on the freeway...” I think half the accounts on this site have been hacked by retarded AI or Russians with a savage sense of humor.
“I’ll wait...”

I’m very pleased you waited for my reply, Ol’ Dan Tucker-!
Simply because a coward of the state closed a roadway/highway doesn’t remove the responsibility of the persons on the roadway/highway.
You tell me the road is closed. I don’t care. I’m not stupid enough to be standing out there, let alone at night.
I can understand many people making excuses for the babyism that is tolerated of the young adults and those who want to pass as mature adults. Most of those making excuses have, in one way or another, facilitated the making of those dangerous folks out there, these days.
It doesn’t remove the fact that actions have consequences.
It is really a simple equation. She placed her life on the life, betting she was protected from anything and everything simply because someone told her the roadway/highway would be closed.
The person saying that is a coward to begin with, or the roads would not have been closed.
It’s like a game of dare, where instead of overdosing, she stood out there on the roadway and dared life to come at her for what she said she was a believer.
The person who hit her will pay a price. I’m fairly sure the coward that gave permission for the road to be closed will take great care to make sure the driver faces justice. Or, rather, what passes for justice, these days.
It doesn’t in any way remove her actions from the equation.
You may not like my opinion; your approval is not needed for my having an opinion.
What I do respect, is your willingness to spend your time in seeking an explanation from me.
“If everyone was jumping from the Brooklyn Bridge, would you jump from it?”
I always thought my mother was being a bit sarcastic with that question. As I age, I see she was trying to make a point, one which I was too young to see at the time.
Now I see not only how many people blindly jump, but how many people they want to literally drag over the bridge’s edge as they jump.
