Werk 13,166 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Taken from ATRL in which the user said there is a lack of media coverage: Video NSFW (Taken from a distance) Spoiler https://m.fairfieldcitizenonline.com/news/article/2-women-hit-by-car-on-Seattle-highway-closed-amid-15385875.php Spoiler Dawit Kelete of Seattle drove the car around vehicles that were blocking Interstate 5 and sped into the crowd at about 1:40 a.m., according to a police report released by the Washington State Patrol. Video taken at the scene by protesters showed people shouting “Car! Car!” before fleeing the roadway. Summer Taylor, 24, of Seattle, was in critical condition while Diaz Love, 32, of Portland, Oregon, was upgraded to serious condition in the intensive care unit, according to Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg. Love was filming the protest in a nearly two-hour-long Facebook livestream captioned “Black Femme March takes I-5” when the video ended abruptly; with about 15 seconds left, shouts of “Car!” can be heard as the camera starts to shake before screeching tires and the sound of impact are heard. A graphic video posted on social media showed the white Jaguar racing toward a group of protesters who are standing behind several parked cars, set up for protection. The car swerves around the other vehicles and slams into the two women, sending them flying into the air. The driver, who was alone, fled the scene after hitting the protesters, Trooper Chase Van Cleave told The Associated Press. One of the protesters got in a car and chased the driver for about a mile. He was able to stop him by pulling his car in front of the Jaguar, Van Cleave said. Troopers arrived and the driver was put in custody, Washington State Patrol Capt. Ron Mead said. Kelete was booked into the King County Correctional Facility on Saturday morning on two counts of vehicular assault. Bail was denied. It was not immediately clear if Kelete had an attorney who could speak on his behalf. Officials were trying to determine the motive as well as where he got onto the interstate, which had been closed by the state patrol for more than an hour before the women were hit. Mead said they suspect Kelete drove the wrong way on a ramp. Trooper Rick Johnson said the driver went through a barrier that closed the freeway before striking the women. Troopers did not know whether it was a targeted attack, but impairment was not considered a factor, Mead said. So are we still celebrating Fourth of July?

blankpaper 21 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The person who chased him down is a damn hero Also according to the article, he went to WSU for 6 years and it sounds like he didn’t graduate....WSU is a redneck party school in the middle of a bunch of farmland, so it’s not surprising he’s anti-blm reality’s tight if the music is right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daylight Jokers 14,958 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm just disgusted these things are happening. 'land of the free' is a scam. Edit: I do know my country has a fair share of ****ery. Our freedom of expression is being compromised for a bill that promises anti-terrorism, but in reality, it's really just there to silence the critics of our government (by arresting them even without warrant). But this thread is about the protests in America so I commented on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are: "pro-life," but also pro guns... pro-"All Lives Matter," but don't wanna believe that Black Lives Matter... Christian and are supposed to be "all loving," except when it interferes with their political beliefs... patriotic, but don't want to admit the many, many faults that their own country has... Absolutely disgusting. **** them. 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔪𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔱𝔬𝔯𝔢 𝔞𝔴𝔞𝔶 𝔦𝔱𝔰 𝔪𝔞𝔰𝔨 𝔞𝔫𝔡...𝔦𝔱𝔰 𝔣𝔞𝔠𝔢 𝔴𝔞𝔰 𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔢. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
