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.

Some funny posts on this thread if you need a laugh.
This one is even better!

There, who says there’s never any good news?
Boy, I really hate bad puns... that I didn’t think of first. Very funny, thanks for the laugh. :o)
:)
His foot is gonna swell up toemorrow!
My karma ran over your dogma.
Do not drink and drive. If you drive drunk you give up your right to run over those a**holes. If you are sober and one of those dirt bags walks in front of you be sure to pull over and call 911 AFTER you run them over.
LMAO!
Well, make sure you get to a safe area before you stop.
Driving off in these situations would be entirely justifiable. Your life is in danger, provably by recent history.
If only Munsie had swung the door open to get some full-body impact as well. Knock that silly “protester” about 8 feet back.
What? I’m the 35th poster and still no Rachel Corrie picture? Wow.
So he’s protesting the police and decides to step out into traffic.
He gets hurt.
He calls the police.
Where’s that ‘the stupid,it burns pic’?
LOL! Um, yeah.
Hands up? He needed to get his feet up...out of the street.
if you read the youtube comments, that guy reputedly sued the truck and won.
looking at the video, the guy is actually moving very slowly across the street at an intersection when he got hit by the truck. i am wondering if that implies that the truck was at fault... but it still seems like a difficult way to make a living, lol...
