    Interesting no one has mentioned that section of I-5 was closed specifically for the protest and the driver blew right through it.

    Stupid to protest on the freeway? Maybe, but it’s not like it wasn’t organized and sectioned off.

    No one issues protest permits on an interstate highway.

    If they did there would have been NHTSA approved closure and detour.

    Mommas boys parking their car on the freeway doesn't count.

    How does an entire generation miss the lesson of "Don't play in Traffic?"

    Gents: A couple generations of young people are destined for early deaths. From stupidity.

    Simple solution. Arrest protesters who attempt to gain access to I5. This has been going on every night. Start arresting them and it will stop.

    This assumes they aren't let go 12 hours later
    It still helps. They didn’t do anything so bad that they should sit weeks in jail either. I hate most of them myself, but protesting in the wrong spot isn’t a serious crime.

    Looks like one died they say he drove past a car blocking it. Interesting

    If there's no deterrent, then there's nothing to stop freeways being blocked every day and interfering with people's lives and the economy. It also contributes to the sense of Seattle being out of control, which further damages business, tourism, etc.

    That's a federal highway. Who closed it?

    Go play on the freeway isnt an instructional

    The Washington State Patrol. How do you think freeways generally are closed? Driver also went the wrong way in order to reach the protestors. I haven’t seen an article about this that didn’t state the freeway section for those protests was closed.

    Okay now you're trolling
    In tone, perhaps. I should moderate it better so as not to lose what shreds of respect I have left from Tug loyalists

    The media is playing with it that's why. Was the race of the suspect mentioned up until now? If they can let people decide for themselves one side see's a hate crime perpetrated against BLM.

    The other side see assholes on both sides.

    Stir the pot.

    Kind of a key point but still
