THE FORGOTTEN MAN
Powerline ^ | June 2,2020 | BY JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 06/02/2020 7:40:24 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Trailer truck driver Bogdan Vechirko has been defamed by House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler and disparaged by Governor Tim Walz. Driving his rig on Highway 35W in Minneapolis, he was surprised to come upon “protesters” packing all lanes of the road in front of him. If he had wanted to hurt them, he could have taken them out like bowling pints. Instead, Vechirko blared his airhorn and brought his rig to a stop before he hit anyone.

“Protesters” dragged Vechirko from the cab of his truck and commenced pummeling him. While Vechirko was arrested and taken into custody on a possible assault charge, no one in authority has even mentioned looking for the “protesters” who beat Vechirko.

We can add that the owner of the gas station has stood up for Vechirko, who reportedly was the only driver at his company willing to deliver a tanker load to war-torn South Minneapolis.

Bogdan Vechirko has a good defamation case against Ryan Winkler, and perhaps other government officials, including Governor Walz, who wrongly called him “stupid” for driving on a highway that Walz’s own administration had failed to close. I don’t know whether Vechirko is interested in pursuing this claim, but if he contacts me, I will set him up with a good lawyer.

Video showed the actors converging on his truck like Fire Ants on a trespasor of their mound.

Governor Walz you are a putz from a state that must have a sizable population of putzes, considering the number of dolts who have been elected to high office from there. Yes, you ought to be sued and hounded from office. In ancient Greece you would have been exiled. The Romans would have stranded you on a tiny island in the Mediterranean, never to be heard from again.

What if he would have plowed through them fearing for his life? Would he be charged with murder?

He even swerved to miss the last one who was lying in front of the truck when he stopped.

If he does have grounds for a lawsuit against Winkler, I hope they bleed that lying bastard dry.

=====================================

From the Internet:
Napoleon escaped from Elba in February 1815 and took control of France once again. The Allies responded by forming a Seventh Coalition which defeated him at the Battle of Waterloo in June. The British exiled him to the remote island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, where he died six years later at the age of 51.

Send Governor Walz to Elba and see if he can "dance" around that.

MN DOT video released today clearly showed the truck traveling with other vehicles and that the I-35W freeway was not closed properly. The road closures time was moved up. He was blowing his horn, slowed down and amazingly avoided hitting anyone. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. MN leadership should not have rushed to judgment.

We need more lawfare like this against the Left. They don’t hesitate even when much less justified.

I am glad they got this cleared up and that he wasn’t injured or killed by those savages. I read a trucker’s comment on another forum that all truckers know about and remember Reginald Denny.

Every time I'm tempted to take Minnesota seriously, I think of Jesse "Let me sue Chris Kyle's widow" Ventura and Al "Let me grope you while we stand here" Franken.

Well, there probably aren't any pictures of Walz in a feather boa. Maybe that's progress.

Lol! Yep, that's it.
Thank you. Now I don't have to try and drag it out of my brain. :o)
