A 32-year old man driving a Waldrum Brother’s delivery truck is responsible for the death of 6 Anti-Trump protesters that were blocking traffic while chanting “Dump Trump” in the middle of a Seattle freeway.

The accident occurred near an I-15 off-ramp today around 5:15 PM. According to witnesses, a crowd of approximately 16 individuals pulled their vehicles to the side of the freeway and created a barricade by linking their arms together.

The protester’s actions immediately hindered the flow of traffic and motorists became upset at what many of them viewed as an unwanted obstacle preventing them from getting home after a long day at work. A few of the protesters were seen holding signs that read – “Not My President” or “Love Trumps H**e” and all protesters were chanting – “Dump Trump”.

After dealing with angry motorist for about 5-minutes, the group of protesters moved aside to allow the backed-up vehicles to resume their commute. Once a steady-flow of traffic resumed, the group of protesters once again linked arms to create a barricade for a second time.

It was at this time when Richard L. Porter, a 32-year-old Seattle resident employed by Waldrum Brother’s (a local appliance store) as a delivery driver quickly approached the chain of Anti-Trump protesters. According to Porter, he was driving with the current flow of traffic (around 80-MPH) when the obstruction created by the protesters seemed to appear out of nowhere.

By the time the protesters were visible to Porter – he didn’t have enough time to fully stop and though he did slam on his breaks and attempted to swerve, he ultimately ran into the group of protesters with the side of his delivery truck.

Porter was estimated to have been traveling at a speed of approximately 45-MPH when he collided with the group of Anti-Trump protesters. Several of the protesters were able to get out of the delivery truck’s path, however, 6 protesters were not able to move quickly enough and were ultimately struck and run over by the vehicle.

According to police reports, four of the fatally wounded protesters were k**led upon impact and the other two protesters passed-away at a nearby hospital within hours.

Porter claims that the incident was a devastating accident and that he did everything possible to avoid hitting the protesters, however, many of the surviving protesters see things differently. The remaining group of protesters have told reporters that they believe Porter intentionally ran over them with his vehicle because he disagreed with their political beliefs.

Porter has adamantly denied the allegation that he intentionally collided with the protesters because of a difference in political views and told an NBC affiliate reporter that he’s a democrat who v**ed for Hillary Clinton.

According to statements from the police -they’re currently investigating the incident as a potential homicide and at the advice of his attorney, Porter has declined to make any further comments to the media.

The protesters who survived should be charged with homicide and reckless endangerment.

Somethings wrong with the pic in the article. It's winter time in the PNW, I doubt very much those people would be dressed as they are.
Probably more f**e news.

Yeah, I see now that snopes.com says that it is false. I should have checked it out further.

Is it not 'ILLEGAL' to do what these protesters were doing??? How stupid can some people be, to let their hatred cause them to do something illegal and put them themselves in mortal danger, and when the worse does happen, blame it on the innocent driver, who is also a Democrat that v**ed for Hillary Clinton. The blame should be put where it belongs, on the i***ts that broke the law to show their hatred for the person the American people have elected as their next President. If you 'Love Trump's H**e', then you must also 'Love Hillary's Lies & Corruption for Self Aggrandizement & Financial Gain'.

I believe that in all states, it is unlawful for pedestrians to be on an interstate highway, and it is unlawful to stop/park a motor vehicle on the shoulder or median of an interstate, except in an emergency. The state and local police should arrest and jail every surviving protester, and then have their cars towed at the owner/driver's expense.

In this case, Waldrum Brothers should also file a suit or claim against the estates of each dead protester, for the damages caused to their truck, and any contents, ... and the driver should file suit against the estates of the dead dummies, for the mental stress he has suffered.

These i***ts definitely qualify for the "special kind of stupid" award for trying to protest on an interstate during rush hour traffic.

Did you read my post that the story is false? It was posted just before your post.

You can put partial blame on the parents of these people for not teaching them common sense like do not play on the busy freeway!

No, I did not see that posting, it must have been done at the same time I was posting my comment, but I really don't trust 'Snopes' either, but I agree that the people in that photo should be dreesed in much warmer clothing, since a snow storm just went through that area.

6 Dead After Truck Collides With Anti-Trump Protester's On The Freeway
While the loss of life is a tragedy, what
did these people expect, when blocking traffic
on this highway, in this manner?? Why did The
Police, fail to remove these i***t's, for their &
the motorist's safety?? The truck driver was
not intentionally, "going on a "let's Run Over
Marxist, L*****t's, today", or "Highway Bowling",
as it was known in S.E.ASIA, during the WAR.
The Wash. Highway Patrol, are at Fault, for Not
Doing Their Job, & The Radical, L*****t, ARE at
Fault, for being in the middle, of A Busy Freeway.
This was a tragic ACCIDENT, that could have
been prevented,[by the Police]! IF the Police,
"can't stand the heat", "then get out of the kitchen"! There is NO EXCUSE, for this!! I " Smell", A Huge Law-Suit, Settlement, Arising
from Law Enforcement Incompetence, or
aggravated, NEGLIGENCE!! When I was in L.E.
many year's ago, I Did My Job, To The Best Of
My Ability, With The Full Support, Of My Immediate, Supervisor's, as long as I was doing
my job, correctly & honestly!! Back then, you
did have to be a "little brutal", tough, & resilient,
BUT, in my State, It was LEGAL, to Shoot Fleeing
Felon's, & if the Felon, succumbed to his wound's, IT WAS JUSTIFIABLE!!!
