However, as far as this truck driver is concerned ... at this point they’re not saying it was intentional. There are a shit ton of intersections freeways near this area and if they didn’t get the roads closed properly I would totally understand this happening.

Protestors should be allowed to march wherever the fuck they want.

I’m waiting to get more information on this driver before I become enraged.

Nobody was really hurt and at the time the truck got to the protestors they were mostly already split on both sides of the highway.

Some video caught by my friends in the area is totally frightening though. The aerial video shows that the driver did appear to be trying to slow down and stop as soon as he came upon the crowd

Thank you for not rushing to judgment.

An astute observer might be forgiven for thinking that assuming he was an innocent man who would have been nearly beaten to death by those protestors is also a case of "rushing to judgment."

This is the side of Minnesota and humanity I am very proud of, and we should all be glorifying and lifting up the good that comes out in times of great crisis. These are the true leaders and community healers. They come from all backgrounds, colors, and creeds. I’m very hopeful that the Twin Cities will be safe tonight, and in the coming days. I’m hopeful that meaningful change can happen and serious problems can be addressed and corrected. And I sincerely hope we can all recover from all of this.

J, those are thoughtful, appropriate words. I’m not trying to pick a fight with you: why do you support Trump? If you’ve elaborated on this in another post, say the word and I’ll search.
