    I fully support the protests and all that, but I agree with this. These people are idiots and got what they were asking for. For the police to arrest the driver seems a bit dramatic taking your post into consideration

    according to many that’s the safest space too congregate.

    After watching the video... The driver had some humanity in him and stomped on the brakes when he couldn't get thru without hurting someone. You can tell he tried, and all you tanker yankers out there, know how hard it can be to keep it together when the unexpected happens. Hopefully the driver is OK, and even more so, won't be charged with anything stupid. (Cause we all know, he's gonna get hit with something.)

    They closed the interstates up there at 5pm today. That’s why it was barricaded off

    Very possible, since it's a Kenan tanker. (A fuel truck) So the driver was probably en route to a stop. Of course, I can only speculate, just like the rest of us...

    So you really believe that some driver decided to drive through barricades in a tanker and then have the common courtesy to honk before stopping?

    My money is on he got on somewhere before the morons put the barricades up and had no idea what was going on there.
