Your friend is perhaps a fascist.A friend of mine is arguing it was a mistake and he stopped. The freeway was closed an hour prior, I can't see it

LOL, so?
This is quite a take.Nah, if he was trying to murder them he'd have just swerved to the left as the crowd dispersed and killed them. Someone above said he was allegedly trying to intimidate people? But regardless, if true, then attempting to do so in such a manner is reckless with indifference to human life and utterly repulsive.
Funny how an angry mob who just had an attempt on their life with a semi can take a dude in alive yet cops can't seem to do the same.

That's true. Maybe he had second thoughts about his prank at the end there when that one guy was still kind of in the way? Why else would he stop?Nah, if he was trying to murder them he'd have just swerved to the left as the crowd dispersed and killed them. Someone above said he was allegedly trying to intimidate people?

I dont know what he was thinking. But he stopped before the crowd. Watch.So he just keeps driving his semi through a crowd in broad daylight..? Think.

We don't at this time. Don't encourage doxxing while something is still developing.
Im not suggesting doxxing, Im suggesting the media find out who he is because people have a right to know what happens to him.

Nope. Your take sucks.Wanna elaborate? Or do you have no conviction in what you're trying to 'safely' convey? I'm just saying that if he was trying to kill them, continuing into the path with the least amount of people and subsequently stopping wouldn't be an expected reaction. Idk though, maybe we'll find out more soon.
I was being sarcastic, as in an attempted act of terrorism is a prank to him, apologies. I just don't understand what he was doing here.Calling it a prank is a bit reductive if it had even a scrap of intentionality to it, but possible I suppose.

Welcome. Glad for your approval.
Facebook friend of mine who lives in Minneapolis was there in his own car. He almost got hit.
Absolutely fucked up.
Edit: This is what he posted
"I was told to help keep people safe by pulling forward a little so the next lane had a car in it. NOT 30 SECONDS LATER... The semi came barreling up behind me at at least 50mph, honking and flashing his lights. He came up the shoulder, where I had literally just moved from. I didnt see brakes until he started getting into the crowd... I am still crying... This was no accident! "
Nah, you don't NOT see hundreds of people shouting on an empty freeway.A friend of mine is arguing it was a mistake and he stopped. The freeway was closed an hour prior, I can't see it
Tanker Truck Drives Into Minneapolis George Floyd Protesters On I-35W Bridge; Driver In Custody
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says a tanker truck driver is in custody after speeding through marchers protesting the death of George Floyd on the Interstate 35W Bridge in Minneapolis Sunday.minnesota.cbslocal.com
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says a tanker truck driver is in custody after speeding through marchers protesting the death of George Floyd on the Interstate 35W Bridge in Minneapolis Sunday.At 10 p.m., WCCO confirmed with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office that the suspect was Bogdan Vechirko, of Otsego. He is currently being held custody on probable cause assault.DPS Commissioner John Harrington says it appears that no protesters on the southbound lanes of the interstate were seriously hurt. He estimates that 5,000 to 6,000 people were on the bridge at the time the truck sped through. Harrington says the truck was already on the interstate before the incident, even though it had closed about 40 minutes earlier at 5 p.m. and barriers were in place specifically for the marchers."It was one of the most dangerous things I've ever seen," Harrington said.The driver, who was pulled out of the truck and attacked by protesters, was treated for non-life threatening injuries at Hennepin Healthcare, and is now in the Hennepin County Jail. In several videos of the incident, protesters can be heard and seen trying to stop the attack, and several laid on him to protect him.The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office said that no one was called out for a water rescue in the incident.The truck had a Kenan Advantage Group logo on it. The Ohio-based company gave this statement late Sunday evening, which read in part, "Our hearts go out to all those who are grieving the events of this past week. We have been informed of an incident involving one of our independent contractors in Minneapolis, MN during recent protests. Our first and foremost concern is for the safety and security of the public, our employees and our customers."
These things happen. Sometimes bodycams turn off accidentally. Sometimes police that have one job blocking traffic fail to see large trucks. There was nothing they could do to prevent this.My understanding is that the road was closed and had police posted near the ends of it to make sure traffic didn't go down it. How did he get through?
Probably worse than the Barcelona incident if he didnt stop.
On the radio when I picked up food right before curfew they had on the gov and AG and maybe others. Someone answered that they thought he was already on the highway and the barricade point was basically built behind him, no evidence of jumping through or around any ramp closures or barricades but it was still unconfirmed. Would be nice to know.My understanding is that the road was closed and had police posted near the ends of it to make sure traffic didn't go down it. How did he get through?
No shit, they deescalated better than almost every cop vid this week.Funny how an angry mob who just had an attempt on their life with a semi can take a dude in alive yet cops can't seem to do the same.

Doxxing is all we have.Nah, if he was trying to murder them he'd have just swerved to the left as the crowd dispersed and killed them. Someone above said he was allegedly trying to intimidate people? But regardless, if true, then attempting to do so in such a manner is reckless with indifference to human life and utterly repulsive.
We don't at this time. Don't encourage doxxing while something is still developing.

One protestor took out the keys to ensure the truck wasn't running anymore.
The dude was rightly pulled out his vehicle and kicked about the place. 'Doxxing' may be all you have or all the people tweeting about it have but people on the ground had a lot more and it appears they took it.
Seems like he did. Let's hope he gets justice served. Attempted murder.
