Police: No protesters hurt, driver taken to hospital after truck drives into crowd on I-35W in Minne

RealityNow said:
What the heck is that.... you are trying to promote ignorance for your lust for spin and drama.....

He was black, unarmed and he was already handcuffed!!! He had been put in the police car, there should have been no more action other than to take him to the police station and let the Justice System conduct its process.

I said not one damn thing about "innocence or guilt".... so don't interject your silliness.

Push your insidiousness some other place.

Again, YOU, see a BLACK MAN, killed by a WHITE COP, others, see an INNOCENT MAN, killed by a CORRUPT COP.

Why are you so racist?

Who's going to pay them if they are murdered by the rioters?

There's an old saying in the trucking business: there isn't any freight that's worth dying for. If a driver has to choose between being murdered, or getting blackballed from the trucking business, which do you think he'll choose?

Let one driver get maimed, or murdered and see what happens. You don't want to go to war with truck drivers. We literally keep you from starving to death.

Stop Deflecting.... No one is going to war with Truck Drivers and No one has even implied such Ignorance.... You just like to start ****!!!

So I guess you are ok with that......like I said, who is the racist there, one who has to shout out that it was a black man, or the other who sees a corrupt cop?

Can't stop on a dime, but they announced the closure of the highways yesterday. What you're saying is he got on the highway without noticing it was closed, drove along for a few miles with no other traffic, and saw thousands of people. Your snswer is "Well, it's hard to stop?" Goddamn, that is pathetic.

Their defense of Trumpism always is.

:kissass ...... Don't talk to me, I have no time for your ignorance displays "If you don't know what the protest are about, then maybe you'd be best to shut up. but we know you won't... so... DON'T TALK TO ME.

Respond to anyone else, but I have no interest in your spin cycle. :2wave:

He's not being racist. He's just no denying 400 years of deplorable racist American behavior. You're obviously not American, and know nothing of the country's history of slavery, Jim Crow laws, Southern Strategy, lynchings, literacy tests for voting. Take a couple of courses, and I assure you, you'll understand.

Look at the absolute and overwhelming hatred in those white women's eyes, because a child has black skin. That's it. Black skin evokes that much overwhelming hatred in some white Americans. And women just like those are the mothers of many many Americans, who think like them. Trump has used this fact to design a campaign strategy which would attracts these people to join his base.

Hope that helps you begin to understand a little bit about American history. As a Canadian, I'm always happy to help. :)

So....to help me understand, you think seeing color in a person isn't racist......and to prove that you provide a picture of people seeing color and pointing that out......

Sure.....

That's crazy. I hear he dodged some things in the road to continue driving on the closed road. Why?
Click to expand...

Could be a number of reasons, where he was, getting off the highway was not possible due to low bridges, tight turns, residential etc, he's got a 65 foot vehicle there, 53 foot trailer, and approximiately 12-13 feet truck, approximations, so there are a number of places off the highway that simply can not faciliate a truck of that size.

That's likely the reason, he might not have heard the road was closed and kept going. What is known is that he laid on his horn as soon as he saw people, and he slowed/stopped as soon as he saw people, that's whats known, everything else is speculation at this point.

Anybody who's biggest concern is which party is in power in a particular clearly has nothing useful to say.

Actually, Vesper's point about punishing churches and businesses but allowing these protesters to gather is EXACTLY spot on. It shows America EXACTLY what "social justice" is all about. Social justice is merely the selective enforcement of laws based on public (or political) sentiment regarding whether or not those laws should be enforced.
 
apdst said:
LOL...you people actually believe that truck drivers are obligated to stop and be subject to a beating, or death without defending themselves.

Well, i do think that rammeng into a crowd should not be allowed. Lets start with that. I reslly don't think that's unreasonable.

There were points that may have been in there, but if the concern is "which party can I blame" that's very counterproductive.

Well, there is one party that is promoting a social justice agenda so I figure that comment was perfectly valid.

This should be good. How does having a functioning pair of eyes make someone a racist?

Huh? That's what you took from that picture? You didn't see the overwhelming hatred in those white women's faces for that child, simply because of the color of her skin? You missed that? It's the hatred that makes one a racist, not having a functioning pair of eyes..

You lack the intellectual capacity to figure that out on your own? SMH.

Uncontrollable rage I would suspect. These people are disrespecting Trump, ergo they need to be dealt with.

Again, when the first thing you bring up is the color of someone's skin, ie, black victim, white cop vs innocent victim/corrupt cop, chances are YOU are the one that is sensitive to color and race.....

He drove through the baracade?


He chickened out.

So why was he laying on his horn the entire time? You think it went something like this? I'm gonna ram all these people up there, yea, lets do it, let's do it.....and then what, he chickened out and laid on his horn? Or do you think it's more plausible that he didn't know about the road closure, didn't know about the people in the road and started to slow.stop and lay on his horn the minute he saw people?

Which is more plausible?

When I drive on the interstate, I immediately notice something is wrong when I see no oncoming traffic. Then, low and behold, three or four miles later, I see the highway closed due to a wreck of some nature.

So, it is not plausible that the guy found himself driving on an empty highway by accident and had no idea that it was empty. :roll:
