Driving into a crowd of Anti-Farts is stupid, but if you are looking for a confrontation, then that is a sure way to find it. Even the Bible teaches you should stay away from such foolishness.

"Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own." Proverb 26:17




Where in the video did he drive through a police barricade and if he did, why didn't the police charge him with anything?


Keep your protests out of the road!


I have no idea why people think that blocking traffic is a legitimate form of protest.

Your first amendment rights end where my rights begin.

You have the right to speak but you don't have the right to force anyone to listen to you.

There is no proof that police set up barricades, but local reporting states they were set up by protestors.

Then they squeal like victims when a regular citizen rightfully pushes back.

There is no video of him driving through any barricade, but that is what he did, and someone mentioned it was a police barricade. Why would he drive through any kind of barricade unless he was seeking confrontation? Was he under the influence? I don't know, but apparently the incident is under investigation. The motorcyclist sacrificed his bike for nothing, unless the insurance pays him (which I doubt). The guy in the pickup truck also damaged his truck for no gain.

I'm sure it will buff out


Edit, video won't embed for some reason, have to use the link.

Instant Karma right there ! That is awesome. Sadly though, I'm sure the guy in the truck is going to be in trouble.

The motorcycle put in the path of the vehicle was an attempt to mitigate any danger that may have presented itself.
Is there a link to the article ? The police set up a fence to divert traffic ?

Yeah, he was "looking for a confrontation" with the aggressive provocation of driving a vehicle on a public street. And I imagine he still gets to claim "self defense" if he's fleeing a mob who is smashing out his windows with crowbars and drives through a barricade set up BY THAT MOB in the process of fleeing.

What the hell is with you people who defend these lawless animals doing their damnedest to destroy civil society? Do you think they won't come after YOU in a heartbeat if given the chance?

1) Because he as a valid motor vehicle operator has a right to be on the road.

2) Because the barricades were set up by the rioters who DON'T have a right to be in the road in order to stop traffic and harass the drivers.

3) To get away from the rioters hitting his truck with crowbars, bottles and bricks before they could drag him out of it.


Any more stupid questions?.

How you can defend these punk puke rioters is beyond me.

What is wrong with you ? Did you not see the backglass being blown out, the windshield smashed...what would have happened next ? Do you really think the driver of the truck could have gotten out and tried to rationalize with these children having a temper tantrum ?

It really is baffling how you and several others on this site actually side with these criminals. How has the world wronged you so badly that you have lost all sense of rationality ?

A hungry crocodile is a hungry crocodile. The one who gets eaten last still gets eaten.

Those defending the crocodile, be assured that he will get you too.

They probably would go after anyone who drives through a barricade, and into a crowd.

The obvious question is why on earth would I do such foolish thing? I don't make other people's quarrels my own. If I am driving and see a protest ahead of me, be it BLM, TP, Antifa, or anything else, I would simply take another path. What is the point of driving through a barricade and then through a crowd of people?
