#1 I see a bunch of 'protestors running toward and standing in front of the truck path.

Based on that, if I was the driver, I'll say I was in fear of my life. The driver did drive slowly enough that the protesters can get out of the way if they desired, but they didn't.

I wouldn't charge the driver with anything, instead, i would charge the protesters with impediment, treating behavior toward the driver and placing themselves in danger.

#3 Low numbers. Media blitz. Yawn. Rent a mob but nobody wants to work.

#4 

All this happened while the other 99.9999% of America peacefully thanked GOD. While asking why did it take 47 years to stop the genocide of millions of minorities by the Liberals, Socialists and Democrats.

#5 It's going to be interesting here in New Mexico. They were already out protesting last night. There is a governor's race going on. The Trunk nominee is a Trumper. We'll see if he can fight. If you recall the recent victory of the Latina in TX, she ran on God, Family, Country. Well the state here is heavily Hispanic and Roman Catholic. If the Trunk runs hard on that the Donk governor may well be a one termer. You urbanist activist girls go! Tell the natives to stick it. Pass the popcorn.

#6 I kinda hope the wackjobs are crazy enough to try and block highways here in Houston. We have enough Darwin awards for everyone.

#7 Cedar Rapids is a fairly conservative area, but way too close to Iowa City (U of I 'Quasi-Marxist Area').

'Plowing through a crowd' at 1-2 MPH is a bit of journalistic sensationalism.

The 40 MPH journey through the 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade was 'mostly peaceful', of course.

#8  I am curious why the USSC doesn't have their very own US Marshals to clean up the illegal messes protesters create in the yards of the homes of the justices.
This should be yet another campaign issue, but I doubt it will happen.

#9 Takeaway: The calls to action by Antifa and YLF did not have the galvanizing effect that was hoped for. The internal recriminations will be delicious.

#10 What do these idiots expect? Better be glad it wasn't me, they would be missing limbs or life.

#11 There was a poll a few years back and the results stated that over 60% of Americans of both parties did not support Roe v Wade and over 65% were against abortion on demand

I find it disturbing to hear a black mayor or black senator criticizing the Supreme Court when it is well known that Planned Parenthood targets black communities and has murdered over 40 million black babies

Yep if you’re wondering why the black population is stuck at 8% it’s abortion

#13 Standard military doctrine is to assault into an ambush. Just sitting there letting OPFOR pound on you is a bad idea.

#14 Left Twitter is usually an ugly place, but today it's off the charts. Use of the N-word is apparently left-approved in some contexts.
