When I watch the video, I see him aiming at the people, not trying to avoid them.

And after all, the road WAS blocked off, so there's that . . . driving past police barricade.

You obviously don’t care for their safety, only the safety of these violent BLM criminals.

People like you are disgusting and encourage this violent behavior. No doubt you are the BLM antifa type.

Through your comments here you’ve exposed yourself, BLM boy.
Seeing how none of those people had weapons, that driver's instincts were wrong, and they almost killed innocent protestors, protesting on a closed road. But go on. Keep calling them bowling pins so we can clearly see how shallow your moral pool is.

If you don't agree LE should have barricaded it and declared it closed, that's fine.

But to say they were standing there illegally, they weren't. The road was closed for their safety.

I will almost grant you your point but ask that you consider that nineteen days of them holding the city hostage and basically bullying the LE authorities into submitting to their demands is way over the line.

There has to be a boundary somewhere defining some kind of civility, or they have just become kidnappers and must be treated as such.

If you have children (or grandchildren), do you let them get away with this kind of extortion?

Or he had tunnel vision and aimed at the hole between the cars and the side of the road. Either way, he didn't slow down and he didn't try to avoid the pedestrians.

My dad used to tell me, "Go play on the freeway." when I was the tender age of 5. Nonetheless, I had the good sense to not take him up on it.

That is all.

[quote=EddieB.Good;58555094]Driving on closed roads, not slowing down for protestors, hitting them at full speed, and continuing to drive off. What would you call that?

Stupidity on the two broads standing on a freeway.

Yep- they could have suffered some skin abrasions and burns when the airbags deployed.


Maybe they need to put up some ANTIFA and BLM warning signs, like they do for deer, to prevent motorists from getting into wrecks when they hit them.

According to the link “ car drove onto a CLOSED freeway and plowed into two people”

Other sources claim the driver fled the scene after hitting two women.

According to local news, LE suspects the driver entered the freeway via an off ramp.
