Lmao, the protestors were allowed to be there and the road was closed specifically for them (They got one of those permits that right-wingers are always screaming about), and you can still somehow twist this into being their fault. It's unreal. Maybe the entire blame falls on the scumbag driver who was fleeing from police at the time, who blew through a barricade and entered the highway from the oncoming lane.

Just because you don't agree with the protests or their methods, doesn't mean they deserve to get hit by cars. It's insane how polarized we are when half of the country will actively celebrate and wish for the deaths of the other half.

I'm going to need sources on both of these claims. The idea that you could get a permit for a freeway protest is fucking stupid, and I doubt any city even has the legal ability to do it if they wanted.

And fleeing from police? I'm very certain that fact of "be on the lookout for a white Jag that's evading police" would have been evident at the time of the incident, if true.

    And their city only has 7% black people.... why are liberal whites always so much more prominent in areas with such a low amount of black people?
