[Graphic Video] Seattle Protesters Find Out the Hard Way That It's Not Safe to Block Freeways at Night

Two Black Lives Matter and antifa protesters who blocked Interstate 5 through Seattle were sent to the hospital early Saturday morning when a driver careened around their homemade blockade and struck the two.

A small gathering of protesters in dark clothes parked three staggered cars across the lanes of traffic to block vehicles on one of the busiest corridors of traffic in the country. Even at 1:30 a.m., trucks and cars, trying to avoid the daytime traffic, traverse the busy freeway that is the main drag through the city, Western Washington, and to Canada to the north and to Oregon to the south.
...
The freeway blockers ran after the car and beat on it. The driver, later described as a 27-year-old man, who was sober, fled for his life and was eventually stopped again by police.

Ya know, strictly applying the law, the driver fled the scene of an accident. But with rioters beating on his car, a sane DA would not press that charge. But this is Seattle, so .....

Who says there never is any good news to report.   

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Ohhhhh that's gotta hoight.

[LegalAmerican]

I have a difficult time feeling sorry for Anti-Americans.   Typical LEFT thinking.  THEY cause the problem.  Then when things go wrong,  it is the OTHER guys fault.  They caused the problem. I read the guy is up on charges. 

STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET......highway.  Darwin Award.

It don't look like he did flee... He was stopped a half mile up the road. But yeah... What you said.

Stupid games, stupid prizes... Maybe next time, don't set up your blockade on a blind corner.

Alex...  What is I will take a fleeing charge over certain death by a band of thugs for $1000 please.

Sure, but hanging out a half mile off don't seem like very good fleeing to me.

I mean, 'fleeing' would be halfway to Idaho by now...

Huh... That seems a mite short at highway speeds... especially with a riot of a******s...

True, more of a neighborhood standard instead I guess

One cop did kind of give a hard time for going a couple of blocks extra on a speeding ticket, but acutally was just trying to find a safe egress.

The driver should not be charged.  He slowed down as he tried to avoid crashing into a vehicle blocking the travel lane.  The pedestrians are the ones who should be charged since they were the ones violating the law.

I'll waive at em, and find a safe spot to pull off... Or I'll waive at em and put the hammer down. Kinda depends.

I had to put the warning in the title to alert the soy boys!
(Which I'm sure that there are none on here!)

Two women were struck by a car whose driver sped through a protest-related closure on a highway in Seattle, authorities said early Saturday.

A 24-year-old woman from Seattle suffered critical, life-threatening injuries and a 32-year-old woman from Bellingham, Wash., had serious injuries, Washington State Patrol Capt. Ron Mead said.

The driver, a 27-year-old man from Seattle, was in custody, Mead said, adding that impairment was not considered a factor. Charges remain under investigation, as does the motive and point of entry onto the interstate, but Mead said the unidentified man faced multiple felony charges and was suspected to have come on the wrong way on a ramp.

I blame their mamas.

My mom told me to not play in the street.

Their mamas should have told them the same thing.

Where ARE the parents?  I think if they are held financially responsible for their children's damage, more of them would come out from under the sofa.

(Reuters) - Two female protesters in Seattle were hit on Saturday by a speeding car that drove into a crowd demonstrating on an interstate highway, causing injuries that led to the death of one, while leaving the other in serious condition.

Seattle has been the scene of numerous protests, some on interstate highways, since the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a Black man, on a Minneapolis street while he was in police custody, and which was captured on video.

Summer Taylor died late on Saturday at Harborview Medical Center, a spokeswoman, Susan Gregg, told Reuters by telephone, adding that Diaz Love, the other injured protester, was in the intensive care unit.

Is the video as graphic as it states?  I'm not in the mood to see any gore.

No gore, it's awesome. Two protestors get hit and go flying like ragdolls.
