If you're standing in the middle of a highway at 1:30 in the morning and you expect NOT to be hit by a car......
Highway supposedly shut down or not......
You're an idiot.
I'm not saying they aren't idiots who should be arrested. But I am saying if they were targeted by this guy he needs to be in jail. Vigilante crap doesn't solve anything. We don't know everything at this point.

Diaz Love was streaming it live on her facebook page when she was hit. It's still there - when you go to the end of the video, you can hear screams of "CAR CAR CAR" and then she's hit.

Don't throw it back on me - I've said from the beginning I don't celebrate anyone's death but neither will I condemn someone because of the state many of us are in because of the foolishness we've seen the past few months.
And don't think your not a trash human - your behavior here through the past few months qualifies you as one.

Agree. This one is not black & white. Driver should probably have slammed on the brakes. And then if he was attacked, and ran over one or two of the scum..... so be it.
The blockade was literally directly under one of the massive highway street lamps. That's the most illuminated stretch of that entire road. And there are no dark spots on city highways like that where you can't see big white cars 100s of yds away. There's absolutely no way that the driver did not see those cars in advance.
The only one making excuses is you so that you can continue cheering on a murderer bc you don't like the victims.
You haven't seen me "cheer on" the driver at all.
And who are these idiots even protesting TO at 1:30 in the morning on a shut down highway?
Isn't a protest supposed to have an audience?
Otherwise, what's the point?
And if the highway was shut down, what was the makeshift blockade FOR?

But the police had put up barricades to prevent drivers from entering the highway.
Come on people, this is squarely on the politicians who have allowed this. Mayor Jenny tweeted:

Early this morning two women were hit by a car and very seriously injured while peacefully protesting. Many others were almost hit and witnessed this horrific event. Our city stands beside their friends, families and loved ones in praying for these women and all who were there.
Young people out there thinking they're protesting a cause - are being enabled by idiot *adults* in charge who should be able to tell the difference between peaceful protests and anarchy.
I am disturbed that the driver hit them and kept going, being chased by one of the protesters in their car. He can't really claim he didn't know there was a protest if he uses the explanation he feared for his life. The whole thing sucks.
