    You don’t drive through a barricade! There shouldn’t be any question about that.

    Do you know how that driver got to the barricade? What are you going to do when you are going to/from a customer and suddenly you reach a barricade and you see you are in a riot zone, put out your triangles and wait for extraction by helicopter? Maybe you are going to back for a few miles, against traffic, and go home 10 minutes late?

    The public should understand that when the riots start any and all trucks will run your ash over if you interfere with them. YOU go make rioters safe and you invite the rest of us to be targets for rioters. They will bash your skull as quick as they will bash my skull and their life isn't worth even one of my toenail clippings. You won't win a prize or protection from the antifa thugs and the Junior Underachievers for siding with them.

    The best defence is not to put yourself in the situation in the first place.

    I can only speak for myself but if I had made a wrong turn and ended up in a bad spot, the moment I feel my safety is at risk, I'm getting myself out of there.

    How about dont drive on closed roads!

    Whatever you think of them. The protest was planned. They applied and paid for and recieved a permit. The road was shut down.

    What this guy did was same as if you. Drove thru the high school band during the 4th of July parade.

    Hopefully after watching video you get enough bravery to apologize.

    The story has been corrected. He didn’t drive through any barricades. He was already on the road when it was closed. Originally they said the road closures were at 8pm and at about 4:40 they changed it to 5pm.

    My body, my choice. You can park at the barricade and wait for the police while the rioters enlighten you about their views on the dictatorship of the proletariat.
