    Next time someone takes their break in the fuel island, go ahead and run them over. You can tell the police that you read all these stories on CDL Life about people getting shot and stabbed in the fuel island, and you don't want to be a victim. Don't let them convince you that you could have just waited, because these murderers are depriving you of your constitutional right to interstate commerce. If that fails, tell them you didn't see them or you have faulty brakes or something.

    Or just walk inside and have the attendant call out the driver of the cascadia on pump 8 to get their rig moving.
    You wait for the inconsiderate d-bag to scurry out to his truck and offer him the opportunity to learn how the fuel island functions. Then there's one more educated trucker.
    The mob is acting intentionally and maliciously while the cascadia driver on pump 8 is just an idiot...
    Sorry Cascadia drivers!

    They are not breaking the law. The protestors were.

    You are making an orange comment to an apple issue. SMH

    I wonder how many of those protesters own a pair of work boots? None. I bet they all have the latest and greatest pair of Michael Jordan shoes though...

    How many of them are on welfare or some form of government assistance? I would bet most of them...

    How many of them are high on weed or some other narcotic? I would be most of them...

    That's why we work so hard, so they don't have to.

    A temporary inconvenience is not a violation of a person's civil rights. There are other routes of travel and closing down one particular route does not violate the "right to travel".

    So you're saying there's no racial discrimination in hiring or housing?

    How are language conventions a violation of civil rights?

    Do you realize that over the last 40 years social services that address societal issues have been cut while we have increased funding for police and prisons?

    The "poor trucker" drove into "the mob". He could have avoided any confrontation, but chose to act with reckless disregard.

    Also, you do know that several Bogolo Bois have been arrested for violence and mayhem in connection with the Twin Cities riots?

    Separate training session is not the same thing as "bringing back segregation".

    We could just as easily use jaywalking as an example. Should we just run people over if they are jaywalking? It is a crime at that point, not just an inconvenience.

    The driver had no way of knowing the timeframe of his detainment by the mob let alone if he'd even escape with his life. I think fearing for your life is the ultimate loss of liberty...
    Of course there's discrimination, but it's by individuals and not institutional in the form of law. No amount of rules or laws will fix discrimination, it's a mindset and must be taught from a young age. Families need to teach their children to respect others and treat them as they would like to be treated.
    Groups of people rioting in the streets are doing more harm than good when it comes to gaining respect and stomping out racism.
    By making words illegal you are silencing the public and anything you deem necessary to fulfill your agenda. Currently the major issue is calling it a hate crime if you or I were to miss gender someone. I could refer to a 6'4" 260lb man in a wig as a man and if he were to go to the police to complain I could face charges for a
    hate crime. This has already gone into effect in Canada and is in the works here in the states. Many states already give that man the right to go into a public restroom with my 6yo daughter and many States will use taxpayer dollars to perform gender reassignment surgery on that man. The issue is with being legally obligated to refer to the man as a female. I would gladly refer to a respectful individual by whatever gender they choose but at no point will I do it by order of a law.
    Do you realize that in that same time the amount of people on government assistance has skyrocketed? You realize that in order to qualify for welfare you must be jobless or unmarried with children but to receive the most benefits you would want as many kids as possible while being unmarried and not having a job. We've incentivized people to raise kids out of wedlock without a strong family unit while learning that there's no need to get a job.
    We have created the prison overcrowding and the drug epidemic by making it so easy to live on government money. Kids grow up without a father figure to smack the snot out of them for playing in the street... see where I'm going with this? Anyways there's two or three generations that don't understand where money comes from or how to take responsibility for their actions. Now they're out in the streets crying that life isn't fair and that they deserve more for free.
    A separation of people based on race is the definition of segregation...
    Thinking it's acceptable to segregate people based on race is 100% working towards segregation.

    Can you show he was afraid for his life? No.

    Can you show that prior to his driving into them "the mob" had committed any acts of violence? No.

    At what point does a loss of time make risking lives acceptable?

    When people ignore the problem around them it is necessary to force them to confront the issue.

    Can you name the founder of our country who said that?

    Bull.

    There is a large difference between a company instituting language policies and the government doing it. There is an even larger difference when it is the social zeitgeist creating the norm.

    Also, the odds of your daughter being impacted by a transgender individual in a restroom pales to the risk of her being assaulted by a teacher, coach, or relative. Even being grouped or flashed on public transportation is a greater risk than public restrooms.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. I advise you go to the Heritage Foundation or the Cato Institute and read any of their policy papers on welfare reform from the last 10 years.

    You're ignoring officers like John Burge and Ronald Watts who used their positions of power to prey on the powerless. You're also ignoring the lack of access to housing and education. You're also ignoring racial disparities in the criminal justice system. Just look at how Brock Turner was treated by both the media and the courts.

    The training that occurred is a far cry from segregation.
