    I’ll just leave this here. We only know what we see and what we read. It’s not that far fetched to believe a truck could be somewhere it’s not supposed to be, people are acting like this guy gets a pass because he’s an experienced tanker driver. KA also, according to their website, only requires one year of driving experience so he could very well be a rookie. Or someone with other motives but then chickened out. Nobody knows the story yet.

    First hand video shows peaceful protests. We're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty...
    Also... this driver was seriously NOT scanning the distance. If that was car traffic stoppage up there would he have plowed into it? Seems possible.

    I'm already done with this tanker yanker. I've been looking for more footage all night and he both

    A.) wasn't paying attention and drove right into it

    B.) Stopped right in the middle of it and got the full Reginald Denny

    So now, we have the 24/7 news cycle running this footage. We are all now "the bad guys". Didn't vote for Trump and have a CDL? Sorry, guilty by association.

    Head on a swivel guys, remember when 5 weeks ago they loved us for bringing toilet paper and masks? Yesterday's news now.

    Stop the mis-information!

    The driver illegally entered the closed freeway.....the highway was shut down, that’s why you didn’t see other vehicles. The driver drove through at a high rate of speed.

    I've seen one news story where it was said he was confrontational with the police before this happened. Anyone got any follow up?

    Volatile situation. Not a lot of common sense about these days.

    "Authorities said the driver's motives were unclear but his actions appeared to be deliberate. "

    Story keeps changing as new facts come out. We shall wait and see.

    And least this guy is taking the heat off the FedEx driver (with the fatality) Nobody's gonna like that that driver probably won't get charged under the circumstances.

    Some yes but here Detroit protesters and their organizers are screaming about people from outside the region causing problems and even in some cases, the cops are getting help stopping the agitators.

    Nothing is perfect but it makes no sense protesting something that everyone in government has yet to justify.
