Strangely the driver was a black guy, Dawit Kelete. According to a linkedin for the same name and city https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawit-kelete-0b2172102 he was a Door Dash employee. Me thinks he was upset that the freeway closure was getting in the way of food deliveries. At first I thought this was intentional, after watching the video I think he was angry about the closure but not trying to hit human beings, either. He stops up the road, but then takes off when he feels like his life is in danger.

Driver was reportedly fleeing from police at the time. I highly doubt this guy knew there was a protest, just saw a closed road and thought it was a good way to get away from the cops. He should have the book thrown at him of course.

Again, I need a link, to any news article at all, making such a claim.

If he was fleeing the cops, might he have stolen the Jaguar he was driving? If so I haven't read anything about it. I wonder why the media won't say?

A cop manning a freeway entrance said he saw the car go up the wrong way, the "no not enter" on-ramp. He's a moron, but he obviously wasn't being chased, which means your news source is a steaming pile of shit and you should unbookmark it.

Strangely? What's strange about it?

White people aren't looking to drive their cars into groups of people, despite the shit that some folks talk. White people don't want to stop their cars and place their lives at the whim of a violent mob. Blacks commit violence all the time for no fuggin reason.

If the white protesters were to get their way, he, being a black fellow, might stand to rake in some reparation money, or benefit in other ways.

You're right, I forgot about all these dopey white women and weak white men. Good point

Well at least the car wasn't messed up too much.

These protesters are so dumb that they think that running out in front of them will make them stop. Even if you try to go past them, they jump in front of you.

I wish america could protest like hong kong. and, funny enough, hong king wishes it had america's freedom.
