“””The road was blocked off for protestors. He got past a barricade.”””””””

The guy on tv said they had not closed it when he went through.

Video from WCCO’s chopper showed what appeared to be a few on top of the semi cab trying to get the driver to slow down.

Yeah they wanted him to slow down so they could beat the sh*t out of him

Seeing some of these terrorists getting some consequence is good indeed. Too bad the local and state authorities aren’t doing a darn thing to protect their citizens. So the at risk citizenry must resort to any means of protection necessary.

Yes, Red, they charged the Truck Driver.

excerpt “ The Minnesota Department of Public Safety [DPS] announced the unidentified driver was arrested and taken to Hennepin Healthcare with non-life threatening injuries.”

I would have hit the gas.

Oh and I'm sure that those people on top of the cab got there while he was driving at top speed, and sure they were trying to get him to slow down..............so they could yank him out and torch the truck. I bet it was more like the driver hit the gas when they jumped aboard.

His legal defense would be “I was afraid for my life and didn’t want to be Reginald Denny’ed.” I would hope you could at least hang a jury with that bit of history/reality.

I thought hitchhiking and pedestrians are not allowed on the Interstate. Anybody an actual attorney on here? Would be good to know how the court would deal with a pedestrian laying down in the middle of the Interstate and killed by a trucker who pays taxes to use it. Seems like a court would drop the charges and call it a suicide attempt by the pedestrians.

That’s funny. I think the stupid people are those who “protest” on a highway.

I could not agree with you more.

These fools do not look into the future to even know they are potentially causing food, fuel and other commodity shortages.
