A tanker truck barreled into a huge crowd on the I-35 bridge. Here's a link to YouTube if you want to actually see this idiot. It's a rather remarkable video, but some might find it disturbing, so I'll leave the clicking up to you. |
Yeah - a tanker truck appeared on the empty highway and barreled into the crowd doing at least 30 mph. It then slowed, almost stopped, and then sped up again, before finally coming to a complete stop. The driver was pulled out of the cab and beat up, because he had just been stupid enough to drive into a crowd of people. After he was taken into custody by the police, he was treated at a nearby medical center and placed under arrest. It broke the momentum of the demonstrations, though, and people began to split off, most leaving the area completely. It's a shame, it was a great group - very cohesive, very peaceful and very positive.
For a really interesting video and interview, here's another link. The interview is rather lengthy, but well worth the listen. |
So, I'll be leaving in an hour or so for the shop. Although the nights have been much more peaceful, I have no idea what might be awaiting me. I'm hoping I'm untouched, but I could come in to a bunch of graffiti. Who knows? Living in "interesting" times isn't for the faint at heart.
I hope your beginning of June goes well. Please stay safe and I'll be back tomorrow.
