    The camera angle is from an elevated position. We don't know if he was coming over a rise and suddenly had a mob in front of him. There's a ton of unknowns.
    The one thing that I do know is that 80k lbs at 60mph isn't stopping for any violent mob if I'm at the helm.
    Terrorists should be treated as terrorists regardless of age, race, gender or sexual orientation.

    I did read your posts and you seem to think it's ok to protest on the interstate. You don't think the driver has a right to be on the interstate and look out for his safety. They protesters should have never been there.

    Takes a special kind of delusion to read that into what I said.

    Nobody ever said that.

    What is being said that the drivers actions caused violence.

    And btw,i have encoutered protesters in my way.
    Stopped.
    Kept a cool head ,stayed polite ,looked who was leading the pack and talked to him.
    15 min later i was on my way ,no harm no foul.

    And while i agree they should not have blocked the road,launching a truck as a missile doesn't help anyone.

    The driver did not cause violence the protesters did. They're not even supposed to be on the interstate. The driver was just doing his job and on a truck route. The protesters need to stay off interstates and truck routes

    Driver did cause the violence.

    Protesters doing something illegal doesn't give unchecked rights to another party.
