Despite Ferguson and like-minded protesters thinking that the world is fixed on them, they’ve yet to realize that in lieu of the Grand Jury verdict, the world has moved on. So when one Portland protester tried to maliciously stop traffic by walking into the road, you can imagine his surprise when one driver swerved toward him, allegedly yelled, “Get a job,” and ran him over… well, at least his foot.
As KGW reports:
Julian Rist, 19, was injured while he was in a group of protesters blocking traffic in the middle of West Burnside Street near 10th Avenue, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson with Portland police.
According to reports, the protest was organized by Don’t Shoot PDX, where Rist entered the road in a blatant attempt to stop traffic. The Mike Brown sympathizers at the scene reported that as Rist entered the road, a belligerent driver of a black SUV allegedly swerved across the road, entering the oncoming lane, yelled “Get a job,” and ran over Rist’s foot before speeding away.
Despite protesters labeling it a “hit and run,” that turned out not to be the case, since the driver, Thomas Munsey, 37, called police 15 minutes later, saying he was the driver of the black 2015 Audi SUV. Milwaukie police later said the driver claims he “drove away because protesters surrounded his SUV and he was afraid for his safety and the safety of his family.”
What’s even better? Rist was cited by police for not being in a crosswalk when he decided to walk into the street.

Please keep us posted when it is set up so I can chip in.
Years ago, while in Rome, I recall a car swerving towards me crossing the street and narrowly escaping to the sidewalk. I was told at the time that there is no driver culpability if the kill is on the street in Italy. Worked then, would work fine now.
Some people would do more to protect himself and family from a dangerous mob surrounding his vehicle. The knucklehead kid got off easy this time.
Driver acted reasonably, jay walker did not. Let justice prevail.
“... in lieu of the Grand Jury verdict, the world has moved on.”?
Huh?
Karma drives an SUV.
Mama always told Forest to not play in moving traffic!
Good, serves the moron right, for continuing to spew the “Hands Up” lie.
” Rist’s foot before speeding away. “
Broken toes? Call a toe truck......
Nice try but no Darwin Award. Life’s tough, even tougher if you’re stupid.
Certainly not the manliest of men.
Silly boy trying to display his manhood in his womanly world....and failed.
We’ll have riots over this as well...
Can’t think of a meme right off, though.
“Feet back, don’t run over me!”
“Black feet matter!”
“I can’t walk!”
something...
A foot is a unit of measure, until some one gets kicked in the ass with it.
To be kicked in the ass with ones own foot is extraordinarily painful. May he wear it well.
you’re probably right, kinda like blaming the cop who shoots you while you’re robbing the bank.
