    Actions speak louder than words. Groups like this have spoke volumes over the past few years. So yes, the minute their actions appear to threaten my safety, I can act to defend my life and we’ll being

    I wouldn't have put myself in that situation. I would have waited in traffic, just like everyone else was. None of the other vehicles or their occupants were being accosted. It wasn't until the truck broke the law that things got tense.

    A covert group of freedom fighters that have a few biochemists on their side.

    When researched you discover that it was a woman of color driving that truck on a us mail contract to a post office down the street that the courthouse relies on for its mail. Not a terrorist or tourist. Just a hard working american doing her job.

    And who knows she may or may not have agreed with the ones who decided to take her needing to do her job personally and attack her.
     
    Eldiablo and John E. Thank this.

    I'll add, one person's bad actions does not necessarily validate another's bad action - especially when the reaction is grossly disproportionate.

    I still don't understand what the riot was for.

    Guilty Verdict = Riot
    Not Guilty = Riot

    Flame throwers = End of problem. Normalized life is restored.

    Where did he come from? Maybe he's delivering something time sensitive and important, like Covid vaccines. You're right, he should never have put himself in that situation. In fact every truck driver nationwide should've decided last week they weren't going anywhere near a city this week that had "protests" over this in the last year, of course we'd all be called the typical nonsensical, thoughtless names. Bring on the proper anarchy already I say.
