Some people on twitter saying the driver was black. Haven’t seen any confirmation. Anybody know? That would screw up the narrative
BUT

it would fit the hinted decriminalization of black on black crime that has been introduced to the conversation lately

He entered the freeway by going backwards down a side entrance.



This is the part that's gonna secure a jail sentence.
Not so sure.

His "victims" were in the active state of committing a crime themselves.

Kinda hard to be a criminal and victim of a crime at the same time legally.

They did nearly stick the landing though.

Highway patrol or the police should have never let them protest there. Idiocy on both parts.

Nope. The left is everything that is wrong with this country.

The highway was "closed" because protesters had parked cars blocking it. "The high rate of speed" obviously means he was not going beyond the limit or they would have reported it, everyone on a highway is driving at a high rare of speed.

He wa not impaired and was driving a late model Jaguar.

He did drive up an exit ramp to get on the road, I'm guessing they had the on ramp blocked.

If he gets the trial moved to the Midwest....he walks...with a book deal and speaking engagements.

Walking on a road at night wearing dark clothes with vehicles going highway speeds....

Shocking results.

Darwin is nearly undefeated.

Exactly

A = protesting in the street
B= getting run over by a car

If A causes B, then to prevent B is not do A. Pretty simple.

its time to start arresting people that block traffic and charge them with unlawful restraint and false imprisonment...

and if they surround a vehicle they should be charge with terrorism...

its time to drop the hammer on these people...

Have you considered NOT killing someone with your car? It doesn't take much empathy to use your brakes instead of smashing into human beings and probably killing them. All of you internet tough guys talk a big game. I hope you're not as stupid as you're acting and wouldn't smash into people with your car for protesting in a place that's inconvenient for you. If you are that stupid, then I hope you never get put into that situation. But if you are, I hope the jury unanimously convicts you so you can spend the rest of your miserable life in jail.

I can see doing that by mistake, if it's the wee hours of the morning and there's no traffic to let you know.

He would realize it when he sees the red reflectors and have to go the other direction.

Brakes clearly squealed. Night time, folks on the highway, dressed in black. Pretty easy to surmise he did not see them. That and he stopped .... until he realized he'd best not.

If the black driver hit white protesters then they were just taking one for the team
