    FYI the car is in a clear lane of traffic and those idoits are pedestrians in a freeway. Pedestrians are not allowed on freeways for exactly this reason. Driver will only be convicted of fleeing the scene, maybe. Given the violence that would have likely ensued i seriously doubt that either. Any rational juror would not want to get beaten/shot in their car and they've seen enough incidents to render a "fuck you commies" verdict. Of course your jury pool may be questionable!

    It also depends on whether or not the driver pulled away and then called 911. If he did that and told the cops, I'm located here but I was afraid to go back, I'll wait for you etc., he might not get charged at all.
    I don't even know why they arrested the driver. People walking on freeways are routinely run over and no charges filed. Happens all the tim.

    That is why pedestrians are illegal on a freeway. Drivers are not looking for pedestrians.

    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.

    I’m with the driver and would love to be on that jury.



    Clearly not a hit and run.

    You make it sound as if they filled out a freeway closure request form and got it approved by the city/state. But per Komo: A preliminary investigation found that state troopers had closed the northbound and southbound lanes of I-5 at around midnight Friday after protesters entered the freeway from the ramp at Yale Street for the 19th consecutive night.

    Organized only so much as the city/state isn’t doing fuckall to prevent a bunch of idiots from walking out on the freeway and shutting it down 20 nights in a row.
