There was no one around the “protest” except the Antifa kids and the police providing security.

There's the root cause of our problems right there.

It's illegal for pedestrians to be in the roadway.

Law enforcers should've been enforcing the law, not providing security for the lawbreakers.

All of these current problems have a simple, quick solution.

After looking at those photos it’s easy to understand why the parents have stayed in the background.

The Darwin Award people had better restock their warehouse. There may be a run.

A clear cut case of fatal stupidity.

“After a month of nonstop protests and criminality, I feel nothing for these people.”

If someone lined them up and shot them I would feel nothing but glee.

This is very sad. I do not celebrate it in any way. My heart is broken for the parents of these children, they are grieving dearly because of it. I understand that they were ‘grown up’ enough to make these stupid decisions. It’s sad that these children were made insane by their teachers and the instigators and the parents who never taught them better. It’s sad that these children were encouraged to put themselves in this dangerous position. The instigators of this ‘protest’ should be hunted down and prosecuted for wrongful death.

And i also feel sad for the driver who now has to live with the image of how he plowed into those children who were pushed into the street by adults that know better!

No one will care.

I'm having trouble working up a lot of sympathy.

Notice how, when it was first reported, the car was not blamed, it was the driver described as a white supremacist.

Now that it has been learned that the driver was black, the car is blamed.

Who closed the section of the interstate highway? Was it the police or did the protestors themselves place their own vehicles to form a barricade to ATTEMPT to stop anyone else from using the public roadway? If the police did not place the barricade, then the AP article is FAKE NEWS. The AP article wants us to believe that the ATTEMPTED CLOSURE of the interstate was sanctioned by and done by the police. The reporter who wrote the article knew or should have known the facts. If the police did not participate in the closure of the interstate, then the protestors placed themselves in harms way by an act of commission on their part. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes cannot be said enough to these useful idiots. My condolences to the family of the deceased, but she did a foolish thing.

Apparently the Marxists have been causing problems at that freeway for weeks and the response by local officials was to just close it off rather than force them out. That’s unacceptable and the fact that someone flipped out and did this is not surprising.

You overlook the salient point.

The terrorist j walkers were killed in Seattle, in Washington, not America

The highway was not closed. It was illegally blocked by the anarchist with their cars.

The driver did not “flee the scene”.The mob ran to his car and attacked it and tried to do a Reginald Denny....

A thought of mine: the officer should have minded his own business and not chased the car , and said the usual "there are no suspects" and "hopes that people at home listening to this description will call with information they may have."

The officer who was cold bloodedly shot to death from a car by the driver who refused to get out due to a license infraction, in today's other thread was doing a thankless job and must have read about the insults and jeers of BLM and CNN but still did his job----and gave his life for that.

This oppositional person who stood illegally on a highway and refused to leave died from that action. The driver would have been pulled out amidst broken glass and beaten to death as another said here. Not worth waiting around to die like that.
