Have any of these demonsrtators who are protesting on unblocked highways considered that someone of any race might in fact hit them with a car, since the cars are supposed to be there and they are not? I ride my bicycle on the street and it's dangerous enough, but walking around out there like you are covered by an invisible magic bubble seems foolhardy. I always taught my kids to stay out of the street, so maybe these protesters are rebelling against their parents by playing there. Anyway, whose minds do they think that they are changing with this crap?

The driver in the Jaguar that hit the two protesters on the interstate in Seattle and caused them to fly through the air killing one of them was Dawit Kelete, a black man. Only the Jag and the dead protester were white. The white driver who killed the protester in Bakersfield may have had nefarious intentions, but he is probably going to get away with it because he was sober, driving a licensed vehicle, and was apparently obeying all traffic laws, whereas the dead protester was not. He also stopped and didn't flee the scene. But don't let me harsh your narrative.
