the full story is that the protesters had been blocking I-5 every night for 19 straight days for about 10 minutes right after midnight.
.........
The protesters cut a deal with the Seattle Police Dept. and the WA Highway Patrol to set up barriers and reroute traffic to accommodate the shutdown every night.
...........
That’s right, our government illegally participated in closing a federal interstate in order to encourage a private parade and demonstration.
...........
Now people are dead because the government created an illusion of safety that you could walk on an interstate.
..........
Governor Inslee and Mayor Durkan have blood on their hands. So does the media for not reporting what is obviously a news story that could have kept drivers away.
Don’t forget that the driver went UP an OFF-RAMP and drove against what would be the normal traffic flow to get to where the demonstrators were.
The driver is no less and no more complicit as the Mayor and WSP in these deaths.
