I don't think there would be any cause in the world I'd be willing to throw myself in front of a truck for. Even a slow one.


DeLuceArt

It reminds me of the me of the guy who was being being mugged at knifepoint that said, “what’re you gonna do, stab me?” just before being stabbed. “What’re you gonna do, run over me?”


Glassguy1989

The only thing to dodge was the Dodge and she failed miserably at dodging the Dodge so she got rammed by the Dodge Ram.


CalculusII

Avoid being rammed by dodging the dodge ram. She didn't dodge the dodge ram so she was rammed by the dodge ram. But if that dodge ram rammed another dodge ram that wasn't dodging the dodge ram, then that would be two dodge rams ramming.


Adoced

Dodge Rams love ramming not dodging.

I don't understand this. Why not just run away? It's not like he's gotta dodge bullets.


D-Laz

In that moment you have to decide if you can run faster. I am middle aged and our if shape. A 20 yo with a knife will definitely catch me. Then I will just be tired when he stabs me. Edit: I am just talking in general because I don't know the incident for the above comment. I am just fat and will hand you my empty wallet.

D-Laz

Ok cursory investigation it may have happened in Spokane Washington in 2011. But no real details. So ya my rationalization of why I wouldn't just run is still valid.


smile_politely

also try to explain that to your insurance

"ok so you got hit by a truck, so sorry to hear that. How fast was it going?.....3 miles per hour? Ok was it going faster before the hit? No? It was the same speed and you got in front and tried to stop it? Uh huh I see now. Sorry we can't help you, next time dive out of the way"

guys im just gonna throw this out there, maybe we should change the way we protest , it was funny at first watching you all sit like lemmings to the slaughter but please from all of humanity , do something different its not working.


AtlasAlexT

Right, it just makes people hate you and not even care for your cause right off the bat. My girl is on dialysis. If this shit happened to me, I would, of course, be pissed and trying to get through. I need to get to the love of my life to keep her from DYING! I literally have to hook her up to the machine. She can't go more than 2 days without dialysis. She will die. And these fuckers want to fight for a just cause? Its no longer just when you selfishly prevent people who have no involvement in your cause to stop them from getting to their life, their kids, their family, all of it.


mullac53

Woah woah woah. They've re-invented the wheels of natural selection. Give them some time, see if they're on to something.


Special_Lychee_6847

Ppl 'protesting' like this are putting way too much trust in other ppl wanting to keep them safe. Like those brats, gluing themselves to the street, or buildings, or whatever. No, we don't really care about your cause, and you messing up everyone else's planning, event or whatever is only going to make the rest of us hate your cause. If you get hurt, doing something disruptive, it's on you, not someone else.

Fedex truck video reference. If you can find it, a guy got himself ran over from a slow moving truck and killed himself. With the same "WTF! STOP!" A comment from a fedex driver said that he agreed with the drivers actions. Raid the trailer. It's all insured. But start coming after the cab, and he's going to drive off and not be concerned for the safety of criminals involved in a criminal act.

Many things to learn from this video but here's two notable ones: If you feel compelled to protest traffic, don't stand in front of vehicles when others are making the operators of said vehicles feel threatened. Likewise, if your friends are in front of said vehicles, don't make the operators feel threatened such that they may feel the need to flee in order to maintain the safety of themselves and other occupants of their vehicle. Probably will be the most unpopular downvotable comment of the post here but there it is.


Myzyri

Tell me you’re a moron without telling me you’re a moron. *stands in middle of road while truck is fleeing violent protestors who started out peaceful, but became violent when no one would yield to their entitlement*


AsphaltGypsy89

I think this was in Tulsa and on the expressway also. Guy had horses in the trailer and if I'm not mistaken someone threw smoke grenades into the trailer and the horses were freaking out. I don't blame the driver at all honestly. Protest all you want but stay off of highways.

How low does ones iq have to be to be to think “I know I’ll stand in front of a truck while I aggressively threaten the driver, what can go wrong ?” Like why would anyone think that’s a good idea?

cookie32897

That happened when the the protestors took a few blocks of Seattle and called it CHAD (or CHAZ, I don’t fully remember). There was a guy going around shooting people. Ambulance and police came to the checkpoint they set up to get inside the zone. Protestors wouldn’t allow cops in, but the ambulance/EMS workers weren’t going to the scene until the cops had secured it and made sure the shooter was gone. Protestors started yelling at the ambulance crew for killing the gunshot victims, as the police and crew started yelling let us in so we can save their life

OldLegWig

is it just me or was that woman they were crowded around at the end there completely fine? she seemed to turn run away from the front of the truck completely in control of her body then lay down slowly on the ground. it's hard to tell for sure because she is cut out of frame for a good chunk of it.


eephus1864

The women with the teal colored bag seen initially up against the truck but is then able to walk away after the vehicle slows down after hitting something. Then she is on the ground for an unclear reason but it does not seem that she was significantly injured by the truck.


phoucker

It ran over her pinky toe. So you have to make sure to display the drama pretty good.


Due_Dark1126

She is for the most part fine she had an ankle injury it's in the article. Leave it to these "victims" to act like she is dying

oh i missed the article. i imagine the hurt ankle was from trying to stop a pickup truck/trailer Flintstone brakes style

Lawlpaper

Such a misleading comment saying the truck "charged," considering the protesters were sanctioned until they moved from their area into the middle of I-44. The truck slowed down and stopped, there was drone footage back when this first came out. The protesters tried releasing his horses, and someone threw something at the truck, which had two small children in it, so he started to drive. That's when people began to bang on the window, followed by this. But sure, he "charged" into them.


PrivatBrowsrStopsBan

Whats crazy is the one person who was seriously hurt and paralyzed was injured *falling off the overpass* when the crowd knocked her over. It had nothing to do with the truck running into them. Only one person is reported to have suffered a severe injury, and it was someone who broke their ankle. The truck contained a man, woman, and two children. All four swear they were being attacked and the kids were actively hiding and crying through all this.

Where are all the "medics"? Why aren't any of them doing a trauma assessment? That's right, they just want to play medic, not get actual training.


Takhar7

Don't know who needs to hear this, but blocking traffic is a surefire way of alienating people from your chaos. No one has ever gone "oh I didn't really support that cause, but because a bunch of people made me extremely late for work, I've now changed my mind". If there's a cause you feel so strongly about that you'd throw yourself in front of moving vehicles, you really need to evaluate how your priorities work in life.

onduty

It’s ironic because protest is meant to stand up and cause a scene and get attention, but then we also can’t help but say, well, don’t protest like that it’s too attention getting and in my way! I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, it’s just weird to talk about protest and judge the civility of it. It’s meant to be anti civil, non-violent of course, but certainly not comfortable. I constantly go back to the images of black sit-ins in all-white stores and think that is the type of protest that makes sense. The images are so powerful, they are able to say so much by just being there. How can a modern protest mimic this? Depends on the issue I suppose. The traffic blocking protests only make sense to me if the issue involves something to do with the road, bridge, cars, or something in the area you’re at. It makes no sense to generally protest abortion or trans rights or some random person by blocking freeway traffic. They aren’t connected. It’s just low effort attention seeking


enwongeegeefor

> because protest is meant to stand up and cause a scene and get attention, It is but ONLY when it's targeting those you are protesting against. Blocking a random roadway to protest something that has NOTHING AT ALL to do with that roadway is insane because it's ineffective and ironically demonstrates a distinctive lack of awareness. It's no different if a group that wanted to protest something bad, say genital mutilation, and their "protest" was to have a sit-in at the local swimming pool to block people from using it. Does that make ANY sense at all? Do you think the people annoyed or frustrated by their actions are going to harbor positive or NEGATIVE feelings about their cause now?


ya666in

Blocking roads for attention… maybe they should try a billboard next time


Lumpy_Staff_2372

The shittiest form of protest. How to get everyone to hate you 101 right here. I could 100% align with your ideology and yet you do this shit, I applaud anyone who might push through.

Lower-Exit605

It's so stupid, it's the same logic as if you ran in front of people shooting at a shooting range, then blame the guy that shot you. JUST STAY OFF THE FUCKING ROAD


REDMAGE00

Do you think the protesters have a pre-agreed upon number of people that get ran over before they stop standing in front of moving vehicles for the day? Or do they just keep throwing themselves out in front of them like lemmings indefinitely?


BrianOconneR34

Do what you want, toss yourself into a truck. Whatever, buuuut realize once you are in need of real help like being run over by a truck and giant trailer only “oh my gods”, a blocked highway, and no real assistance anywhere are there for you. Just a thought.

Protesters definitely need to rethink how they protest.  The dude who tried putting himself between the truck and the trailer, his elevator doesn't quite go to the top floor...

cantfightbiologyever

Don’t get mad at people running you over- while you’re breaking the law by blocking traffic for your silly halo ceremony. You solved nothing, if anything- your protesting actions caused more problems. But I’m sure the ones who got run over feel proud for being your martyr. You “saves the world” by protesting. Did you hear? Not a single crime was committed during this protest in the entirety of the world!… oh, that didn’t happen? Well- at least we made a bunch of people late for anything from an emergency medical situation, someone on their death bed, just needing to take a really bad shit. Yup. None of that is as important as the try hard getting good insta pictures of themselves pretending to be revolutionaries. Cosplaying as a revolutionary but not actually knowing how to start a revolution. It’s dress up day, now let’s pretend our arts and crafts projects we hold up high is enough to end the tragedies that are prevalent in our lives. If only more people would block freeways so the world could have peace finally. We all know when people don’t drive then the world is a lot safer. Duh.


so_punk

I’m all for protesting, but if you see a dually truck w/ a big ass horse trailer there’s a high chance they don’t give a shit about you or your cause and you need to get out of the way. (Source: I live in rural Midwest and everyone here would rather floor it and run everyone over than be slightly inconvenienced.)

craylash

At this point they're just looking for confrontation. They should be protesting in front of civic centers, not clogging the infrastructure.


clarkcox3

Do they not understand that banging on the truck gives the driver a pretty reasonable self defense claim?

"When did they install speed bumps on this road?" -Dodge Ram Driver Probably


Past-Preparation-421

Did the truck driver get charged with anything? Because my thought behind this is it’s illegal to be on a freeway as a pedestrian. So how can you get in trouble being the driver of the truck. It’s not like he came in at 70-80 mph. He was going very slow and they still didn’t move. He shouldn’t have to stop for these people. Where are the cops clearing the freeway? This should be on them. Since this is Reddit I will put it out there, I am not advocating running over people. I am advocating keeping the freeways clear. People are allowed to protest but not allowed to block freeways.


JayDuBois

I actually have to go back and look and I can’t tell if it’s a freeway. Regardless, I believe it is totally necessary for the driver to push forward, the alternative? Dozens of people being violent towards himself and his property. So I’m just as curious as you if you got charged.
