“I do not believe for a second that the driver was an innocent person who simply blundered onto a closed freeway. I think he and a few before him had used the highway to get to the protest without having to walk. “

That’s what I think to - he is rumored (Twitter) to have been a protestor at Chaz and the Mayor’s house.
His photo with the unkempt dreads would fit right in at Chaz.
Other twitter posts to other protestors gave them the directions on how to get to the interstate protest by going down the wrong way on the exit ramp.
It could have been the guy was in a hurry to the protest and got their location slightly off. (I think they were north of the big overpass at the Convention Center, he might have thought they were south of it or something??).
I’m just glad that it wasn’t a white guy that plowed into them or Seattle would still be burning. It has really quieted down after this happened.
