    ^^^ even many drivers are dumb enough to believe that this guy drove through barricades despite being shown evidence that he didn't.

    For antifa, about $7.99. For anyone else $8 million per second. It pays to have a comrades in high places.

    I watched the news briefing from MN.
    You are right, he didn't run or break through any barricade.

    My question is this.
    From what I heard this happened at around 1755, but the barricades were put up at around 1700.
    That is nearly an hour of lag time.
    So just how does the driver slip through the barricades with such a lag time until the incident?

    Did he stop on the side of the road for a 45 minute power nap or something?

    17:00 they ordered to barricade, 5 - 10 minutes to send order to everyone who is involved. 20 - 30 minutes to move vehicles to position. 5 - 10 minutes to deploy.

    Another report also said there may have been a couple other cars coming in behind the truck.
    This may be a case of one on ramp being overlooked for closure.

    As long as he runs over protestors
    In a time of rioting you are a dang fool to follow the Marquise of Queensbury Rules. The professional rioters/protesters and the semi-professional looters are an indication you should look out for you. They made their choice. They aren't inviting you to a seminar.

    When your entire city is ran by imbeciles, slackers, and morons, influenced by race baiting azzhats, it isn't hard to imagine that some buffoon, somewhere missed barricading a ramp...... but drivers just assuming that this tanker driver blazed through barricades and drove into a carmageddon situation by choice says enough about a lot of those who are posting here.
