That's our high quality media at work to report fast and correct second. After about 24-48 hours they'll have those facts right but in the meantime I don't even pay attention given how in the past I've seen too many news stories that morph wildly as they "report" every rumor and unsubstantiated claim they hear.
There was a navy yard shooting out east a few years back where the media report of the suspect kept jumping back and forth between black, white, old, young, one guy, two guys, three guys....it was sad to watch but hillarious at the same time.
The problem with blocking a car like that is that if 9 protesters are just peacefully blocking the road and one loses their cool and tries to open the drivers door, punch the driver while arguing etc....then the ones in front are sacrificed.
When will these idiots learn?
If you block a road, protest or not you're taking a chance on being run over.
Your freedom of speech doesn't overrule other's freedom of movement.
The first amendment guarantees your right to speak..
It doesn't guarantee you the right to be heard or to interfere with the rights of others in an attempt to force people to listen to you.
How would all these "protesters" feel if someone tied them to a chair and forced them to read a book or listen to a lecture?
Blocking roads is not only illegal, but inherently stupid.
Blocking roads and trapping people in what is easily perceived as a life threatening situation is terroristic. Running them down is always the right thing to do.
IMHO... The driver should be given an award, not held on bail.
That's pretty crazy. The dead woman ran into the path of the car. There may be room for criminal charges of some sort, but not the kind that warrant $1.2 million bail.
What's your point? Do you get your panties in a knot over the sponsors of the MSM?
You are right, infowars repeatedly ridiculous stories are more than sufficient to make them a laughing stock no need to pick on their ads unless correctly noting that their gloom and doom articles about fukushima irradiating the west coast...or the nuclear meltdown in iowa etc. seem to coincide with lots of ads for geiger counters, iodine pills, freeze dried food etc.
Infowars is about as subtle at making up stories to sell product as some childrens cartoon that is one big advertisement lol.
Uh oh....I have to run...that UN invasion from the Walmart parking lot in Texas is rolling down my street as we speak. I have to go hide my gold bars that must certainly be worth 8,000 an ounce by now given how the economy has collapsed and oil is $700 a barrell.
The police had barricaded the highway. If there is even any "legal right" to a highway, a police car blocking the entrance negates it.
+1, this isn't just the law, it's common sense. It's like the fools during a storm who drive around a barricade and try to cross a flooded road, only to get carried away downstream. Once you go around a barricade all of the liability for anything that happens falls on you.
