Should have continued driving to a safe distance away from the rats.

Let’s not forget about Reginald Denny

I believe it is against federal law to have pedestrians on an interstate highway.

The interstates are built for high speed traffic.

It is extremely dangerous to have pedestrians on an interstate.

It would have been funny if he would have plowed through the crowd.

I’m a grocery trucker. If anyone thinks I’m taking a load anywhere near that Minnesota Zombie Apocalypse before they get themselves sorted out, guess again. Show me a trucker who thinks differently and I’ll give you a dollar.

“Speeding”

What’s the speed limit of the interstate? He was doing half the speed or less. Slow enough to stop so he wouldn’t drive over the two morons laying in the middle of the freeway.

He’s lucky to be alive. Though what he did was very stupid. That said, some of us in society are so damn sick of law enforcement doing NOTHING to looters/rioters... we feel compelled to act upon our own.

This is ridiculous. Was he loaded. Does he have working engine brakes, or maybe a new driver unable or forgot to activate them. Does the engine brake work. We’re his brakes in adjustment.

Can he sue Minnesota, all appropriate agencies. They are all communists. Will GOP fund the lawsuit.

Did these idiots have proper pre-warning cones and flares to help bigrig drivers stop. MINN govt should have protected against something like this.

I love the over-the-top drama screeching “Oh my God” from these bunch of diaper-clad woke children when one of them gets hit. As if believing unlawful assembly on an interstate highway gives them entitled immunity from injury or death by moving traffic and the right to disrupt the flow of traffic. And if someone got hit/injured it is automatically the driver of the vehicle that gets arrested not the children playing in the middle of the road. Completely irresponsible obstinate children having no regard for anyone but themselves.

Can’t say that I disagree with anything you posted, I wouldn’t either.

God Bless you for the work you do!

Doesn’t look like he hit anyone.

Word from Fox was that the bridge had been coned off to traffic, so it’s not clear how the driver found himself on the bridge.

Was he simply disoriented, or was he trying to run people over?

The video contradicts about everything in this article.....

I am shocked that the driver is still alive.

The Rat state and local officials, along with the help of the police are failing to do their jobs. It is illegal to be a pedestrian on an interstate. Blocking traffic is not protesting. It is impeding commerce. After Regenald Denny, every trucker has precedence to plow through vermin to save his own life. His mistake was to slow down and stop. A few vermin speed bumps do not stop an 18 wheeler. The leftist POS media is lying here.

Exactly what I said on another thread about this. Expect grocery store and gasoline shortages to begin again soon if this happens any more. What truck driver would risk hurting himself, others and then being arrested when the ones in road and pulling him out of the truck were in the wrong? Why would you plan a protest ON AN INTERSTATE?

Don’t you think he could have hit people if that was his intention? Apparently he chose not to do that.
