On Thursday night far left protesters attempted to loot a moving UPS truck during their violent protests and rioting in Minneapolis.
The entire hoist was captured on video.
On Friday night far left protesters in downtown St. Louis shut down Highway 70 heading into St. Louis City and then rushed on the highway to frighten drivers.
One semi truck driver attempted an escape from the violent mob and ended up dragging a protester who was caught between his two trailers. The FedEx driver could not see him.

Finally, some good news.
Mark’s nick name?
Skid....
Was just talking to my wife and mother-in-law about the very same; Reginald Denny. Had some slight parallels to this situation.
gosh.....I’m all broken up about it.
Oh my, so sad. Now the driver has to hose off the trailer.
I drive for a competitor of FedEx, also pull doubles, and every one of us has incident video capability in our trucks. Would love to see the replay of this video.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Feel more for the driver.
I wonder what the policy is for these drivers. Are they contracted?
I am not sure I would be willing to die to protect a truckload of goods.
Good news story of the day..one less dreg on society, but never fear, this dead commie will still be voting Democrat in November
Dark windows on the truck’s cab. If the driver was white, he had reason to fear for his life. And, no way of knowing that some fool had gotten tangled between the trailers.
That’s a risk you take trying to hijack someone.
Too bad.
Ah shucks, I guess he won’t be at the next gathering then.
I guess the little anarchist leftist won’t be doing something that stupid again. Maybe his little friends should learn the same lesson.
That is the cold, hard truth.
This is all being staged. This is a concerted effort to destroy our country and defeat Trump.
Everyone keep your powder dry.
Although I suppose if they had hoisted the truck a bit higher, they could have avoided the death.
And even as we type, one of the BLM or Antifa shyster lawyers is getting out the boilerplate billion $ lawsuit form and inserting the name of the poor deceased and his relatives (or significant other) so the transportation corporation and truck driver can be sued ‘til Gabriel blows.
Give that driver a raise - stat ! !
Your 'give a darn' meter is actually in fine working order, it just doesn't go off for imbeciles like that.
Aren’t there signs on trucks that say “if you can’t see my mirror, I can’t see you”?
His own editor? Very difficult to catch one’s own mistakes.
Go to the 21:00 minute mark. The is video and it is graphic.
It’s tragic for the person who lost their life and for the driver who did not know what was happening.
