Parents with a sick baby were blocked on their way to a hospital in Memphis, TN because Black Lives Matter protesters shut down traffic on a bridge Monday night.

The local Fox affiliate in Memphis reported on the story which features the heroic efforts of a paramedic who managed, after nearly 30 minutes of delay, to get the child the care they needed:

The Memphis Black Lives Matter rally shut down the I-40 bridge Sunday night with hundreds of protesters refusing to leave. Traffic could not go across, but paramedic Bobby Harrell with Crittenden EMS was determined to get to a child who was stuck on the bridge with his family.

“We received a call there was a child needing medical attention stuck in traffic up on the bridge and due to the protest going on the bridge the family was not able to get through traffic to get him to Le Bonheur,” Harrell said.

A photo shows parents handing the child off to paramedics on the bridge.

“The sheriff’s department had to escort us up the wrong way of the interstate to the child,” he said.

Harrell said after he had the very sick child in the ambulance, the driver had to go 25 minutes out of the way.

“We had to turn around and come back to West Memphis and cross over at MLK to get over to 55.”

Did you catch that? They crossed over at “MLK” to get the sick child to the hospital. Martin Luther King Blvd. One wonders how Dr. King would react knowing that BLM selfishly prevented a young child from getting medical care in the name of their race-based political cause.

A photo showing the parents handing the baby off to the paramedics seems to reveal that the parents are not black and, it is presumed, neither is their child. Of course, the race of the baby doesn’t really matter to most Americans, but to the protesters shutting down traffic on major thoroughfares around the country, race matters more than anything. Even getting a sick child desperately needed medical care.

As the media continues to repeat over and over again that Black Lives Matter protests are “peaceful and non-violent,” please keep this story in mind.

I'm pretty sure he would be appalled.

That is the exact danger I heard about on that bridge; probably on any highway that people block.

If the leftists, anarchists and troublemakers really do stage their "day of rage" in major U.S. cities this Friday, this is the sort of thing they'll do, too. Nothing proves a point like blocking the road to the hospital, apparently. They've sure convinced me!

Hard Core Leftist Agitator' Lisa Fithian 'is likely on or coming on to the scene..... do NOT let her appearances deceive you...this woman is very powerful and well connected worldwide as well as nationally for the left... taking over protests to achieve political advancements for the Left and other...such as the Palestinians, which she often blends their agenda into in the marches....she's a self-described anarchist....FOR HIRE.



She is hired and paid plenty to destablize and create violence ......she "Loves" it"......she also coaches other activists once on the scene as she is highly organized in how to create the venue needed....She's worked with Code Pink, RevCom, the New Black Panthers, Socialist Party USA...she is herself a Communist..... She specializes in aggressive “direct action” tactics and operates in the world of anti-globalism anarchists, antiwar protesters, and union activists.....n 2011, the Radical Chicago Teachers Union hired Lisa Fithian to train teachers to protest in Chicago.

This is a creature of hate...and can garner those like herself to pull off whatever she deems is the next step in gaining the political attention those who hire her desire.

Here she is coaching "Black Life Matters" in Ferguson during their protests....again do not consider her appearance...she lives very well, and her unassuming appearances gets her where she needs to go on the streets.....one powerful woman...make no mistake.
