    Glad I wasn’t on a ground run Friday night in STL. The driver did the right thing to vacate the situation but I’m sure he’s having a hard time knowing he ran over someone. It’s just a crappy situation all around, pandemic then there’s people burning cities down. WTF. Thank god for beer and family oh and whisky. Stay safe out there guys.

    All we need now is an EMP attack. I’ll be forming The Moore Republic here in NW Florida, until the Chinese arrive.

    Bring in the helicopters they use to fight forest fires and cool down the crowds on the interstate. Or use crop dusting choppers, but instead of fertilizer, load it with the liquid they make tear gas out of...

    1 pass would sort it out quick. Plus it wouldn't harm the roadway or require any cleanup.

    Guess I will chime in with my opinion.

    I watched the real video which you can find on Live Leak. I won't post the link cause I don't know how the admins feel about that kind of content.

    Based on the video though, someone either tried to access the rear of the front box, or somehow placed themselves right next to the converter dolly on the passenger side.

    At some point the truck moves forward and that individual was caught by the con gear and he fell forward. I am guessing that his pelvic bone stopped the truck briefly. If you ever forgot to unchock your trailer, you can kinda see where this is going. Most of us hammer down but end up dragging the chock instead of the wheels just going over it.

    That's kinda what happened in the case of the protestor/looter. Based on the video, he was face down with the con tire stuck on his pelvis, just dragging him along for several blocks until the cameraman couldn't keep up. Eventually the police stopped the FxG driver. It's a crappy way to go noting that the guy was still barely alive when the cameraman caught up.

    Read an article about that this morning. The rioters stole everything from inside his truck including his wallet and other personal items. Some local female attorney says the driver isn't out of the hot seat yet and is looking for ways to charge him because the rioters are claiming the driver tried to run over them.
