Man arrested for driving through protest crowd

Glitch said:
I completely agree, but because we are talking about Seattle where the Democrat Mayor gives aid and comfort to terrorists, the two women who were hit will never be charged for their crimes, like they should.

Until Your Dear Dirtbag jackbooted his way into Seattle, the mayor was a target for the protestors' anger. Your Dear Dirtbag actually increased her popularity.

It seems like common sense. Staying out of roadways when protesting will reduce your risk of being hit by a car. Avoiding streets with protesters illegally blocking the roadway will reduce your risk of a confrontation. Both sides are trying to justify their poor choices using the two wrongs make a right logic.

It’s not that hard stay out of the street and stop trying to run people over would eliminate most of these issues.

I would agree. It isn't smart to be protesting in the interstates and highways, unless one obtained proper permit for these things. Using a car as a weapon because people happen to be on the street is also wrong. It's not open season on jaywalkers. Someone being in the street isn't license to mow them down. Should they be there? Likely not, and perhaps the police should help to clear those roads. But someone can't just floor it and run people over just because they happen to be where they shouldn't be.

Here's the perp, a "known instigator" at these rallies. IOW, until we find out more he could be a rightwing instigator or a leftwing one. There was a Blue Lives Matter going on at the same time. He could easily have been on that side.

So you're at a count of 0 and 2.

No, he didn't. He could not even see the people behind the illegally parked vehicles in the middle of the road. He swerved around the vehicles and hit the two women who walked directly into his line of travel on the other side of the illegally parked vehicles.

Seriously. If I'm driving down the road and see stationary cars perpendicular causing a blockage, I'm assuming an accident or road block and assuming there is going to be hazards ahead - people or police/recue vehicles. I slow down or stop.

I don't just keep driving at the same speed and swerve round the stationary car not knowing what is behind it. He mowed them down and his actions can't be described as anything other than intentional.

That section of the freeway in Seattle had been blocked and there was a patrol car at the point where the perp entered the roadway and gunned his engine. This isn't a matter of a driver just getting confused. He had to go through several obstacles to achieve his goal. BTW, his skin color doesn't matter despite what our Dirtbag loyalists try to racistly claim.

You and I would be making two very different assumptions.

If I were driving down the highway and saw civilian vehicles parked sideways, completely dark, with no flashing lights anywhere. I would assume a criminal roadblock whose purpose is either to rob me or harm me or my property.

I would be searching frantically for any law enforcement vehicle, and if I saw none, I would see if I could find a way around the potential death-trap. If I saw an opening, I would accelerate towards it as quickly as I thought I could safely make it through. Mind you, I'm only concerned about MY safety. I couldn't give a damn about the safety of the terrorists seeking to harm me.

If I hit any of the terrorist scum, I would not slow down or stop. I would continue driving at a high rate of speed until I could find law enforcement.

What the ****, have you seriously never seen an accident on a highway? You are clearly a reckless driver, and someone should take your license away.

I wasn't speaking specifically to that case, but yes, there the guy did all he could to get onto the interstate, drive around cop cars and barriers, to access the protesters to run them down. I'm speaking more in general in that people shouldn't use their cars as weapons to mow down protesters, even if they're in the street.

So can I. Here's more on your perp:

The police department in Provo and the DAs involved in SLC are sure avoiding linking Taggart to BlackLMer which increases the suspicion that he was with the BlueLMers and pro-Trump rally and that wouldn't look good for that group, would it?

Really....that's just bizarre. You'd look at multiple very odd and out of place signs that something was going on and completely ignore them and plow straight ahead without another thought. You have just described the rightwing mindset perfectly, though. At last, a glimmer of self-recognition.
 
apdst said:
That was an accident, in all fairness. It looks like he tried to miss them.

So he accidentally went past barricades, up the wrong direction on an exit ramp that was closed by Washington state patrol? Then he came down the highway, went around vehicle barricades where he ended up hitting the two? I wonder if his withdrawals from percocet or other addiction played a part in the accident?

You realize the Wild West is a myth, right? A bunch of exciting bull**** invented by creative shysters to fleece idiots of their money.

Don't you think how he entered the freeway should have been a first clue?

A security camera on the REI building captured Kelete’s car driving the wrong way up the Stewart Street I-5 exit ramp, past numerous warning signs that said “Wrong Way,” according to the charging document. Since it was an exit ramp, “a driver must make a deliberate and sharp right U-turn in order to drive southbound on I-5,” the document said.

It's not like this was the first night that highway had been closed down by authorities.

The highway was obviously not closed down by authorities, or there would have been emergency vehicles and flashing lights to warn on-coming drivers that the highway was closed. It was illegally blocked by terrorists, and at least two of those terrorist scum got precisely what they deserved. They are certainly eligible for Darwin Awards.

Oh really?

A preliminary investigation found that state troopers had closed the northbound and southbound lanes of I-5 at around midnight Friday after protesters entered the freeway from the ramp at Yale Street for the 19th consecutive night. At about 1:40 a.m. Saturday, the suspect drove a white 2013 Jaguar the wrong way onto I-5 from an unknown exit ramp before turning around and heading south at high speed.

From your own source:
News of the death came after the Washington State Patrol said Saturday evening that it would arrest protesters who try to demonstrate on Interstate 5, hours after two people were struck and injured, one of them critically, while participating in an early morning rally on the freeway.

If they had already closed the highway, why would they be arresting the terrorists? Obviously they were blocking the highway illegally, and the leftist terrorist scumbag that died got precisely what she deserved. Her Darwin Award is in the mail.

IOW's prior to the incident they had been closing the freeway down and allowing the protestors to gather, but after (key word there) the incident they warned people if they tried to protest on the freeway then they would be arrested.
