Horrible, but the driver apparently didn't see him. What are we to expect in situations like this? What if these rioters attack a car with people and even children inside? What would have happened to him and the other drives if they had been dragged out of their vehicles? These lawless ones seem to think there should be no consequences for their criminal behavior.
In my former occupation, officers in my organization were trained in, among other things, defensive driving techniques to get out of situations just like the one described in the article. Granted, these were for dangerous assignments, but innocent drivers being attacked by lawless individuals is no less dangerous. I hope this driver isn't arrested and/or prosecuted for this.

This is instructive. FedEx is taking a more appropriate response to these criminal terrorists than out government is inclined to do.

Leftist roadkill, it's what happens when a rioter attempts to stop a tandem semi. Moral of the story, don't be a Wiley Coyote trying to stop the Road Runner.

The video shows a UPS truck, the headline is wrong.
The story has both UPS and FedEx in the story.
At least get that bit correct!

I feel bad for the driver - and all the crap he'll have to deal with. Investigation, lawyers, employer, and the mental anguish of knowing someone basically used his vehicle to commit suicide. And of course the meatheads who will somehow BLAME him for the death. I don't know what protocol is for driving when stopped by a mob of rioters, but I think DRIVE HARDER is the proper response.

Fire the UPS driver. His second trailer's door did not have a lock, evidently. No way those nancy boy demonstrators could have had the time to enter and loot that second trailer. UPS has a standing rule that all trucks are to be locked when in use. The only time a door is not locked is during egress and access by the driver or crew at the depot.

There are consequences for every action. This protestor suffered extreme consequences for his pure stupidity. I wish I felt bad for him.
OT: If it weren't for the F-bomb I've come to the conclusion that most of these people would not be able to speak at all.

Finally, a feel good story to start the day. Way to go, FedEx! You guys get the job done that the govt just won't do.
Don't forget to put a tracking code on this guy's remains so Soros will get the message.

first, there are members of the black sub-culture who believe they are immune to the laws of physics.
second, I would be surprised if this whole riot thing is not funded by George Soros. and I'm not usually a conspiracy sort of guy.
The NSA will have all the communications, texts, phone calls, emails, showing how this was organized.

I believe that President Trump essentially warned rioters that when they engage in that violent criminal activity that they could loose their lives by many different means. While the leftist and liberal Democrats and their media minions as usual demeaned the President’s comments and warning, here we see an example of what Trump was talking about.

Remember the 1975-circa radio ad - hire the Vet, you never know when you need a tail-gunner for your beer truck....
Also brings to mind a few years ago in rural Guatemala when we were drilling a water well for the community - the Pepsi truck drove by with three guys: 1 driver, one guy litterally riding (with a) shotgun, and a third helper. Had cash on board from route sales.

Trump, as happens from time to time, fumbled the details but the intent was exactly about this. He basically said that when people choose to riot, bad things can happen that are beyond anyone's control.
There have been several Black owned businesses destroyed as well. Some of these people put all their assets into setting up these businesses and will not be able to rebuild. A year from now, the community will be complaining about the lack of businesses in the community. They will complain it is racist. It is not. It is common sense not to have a business in an area that has riots and businesses are looted and burned. If the people cannot control themselves bad things happen.

The way I understand it, the two trailers are connected to one another by some sort of cables and the first trailer is connected to the cab of the truck by, I would guess, more cables, and this dopey kid decides it would be fun to stand on the cables between the two trailers. Of course, it was a stupid idea and he fell off and lost his life.
I'd have the guy checked to see if there was any kind of drugs in his system. What he did was a little beyond false bravado. And, of course, the driver did not see him. He was trying desperately to stay alive while driving on the highway, at night, with rioters banging on his truck, and God only knows what they might be throwing at him while he's just trying to keep the truck on the road and get home.

The rioters blocked the highway. An Amazon Prime truck stuck in the traffic was looted. The FedEx truck was pulling two trailers. The criminals broke the seal on the back trailer and looted it. They moved to the first trailer to continue their looting and, according to reports, the guy who was killed was working to break the seal on the first trailer when the truck started moving and he fell. Oh well.....

Sorry but I cannot feel sorry for a person that was engaged in anarchistic behavior rather than a peaceful protest. The poor driver had to be scared to death and just wanted to get out of an extremely dangerous predicament to the home to his family.

Let's see. A dead woman, probably one of the ones grabbed off the street, in LA or maybe it was Huston. The orders from Soros were the same for all the riots so it could have been at either city. Another victim in a dead security guard in Atlanta, but don't worry the FBI is all over an outright foreign encouraged war in our cities. Same with the CIA and NSA, they know exactly who is funding this... actually I don't think any of the swamp filth have a clue about any of it. All they do is act as pretty stupid thugs for the DNC.

That's a horrible story. I can only hope that there wasn't too much damage to the truck.That blood and fabric from the Kaepernik T-could be hard to clean up.
