Surveillance video captured the 2013 Jaguar apparently speeding down the freeway, swerving around cars supporting the protest that were blocking the lanes, and striking Taylor and Love, who were walking on the shoulder. The blow knocked them into the air, over the roof of the vehicle, and onto the pavement.

After the crash Seattle police and Washington state police officers quickly located the suspected hit-and-run car and pulled it over, according to the report. The vehicle sustained heavy front-end damage and a shattered windshield, authorities said. He denied taking any medication, according to the charging documents. Later, Kelete allegedly told jail personnel that he struggles with an untreated Percocet addiction, the documents said.

I would have ran them over to because you can't change stupid

So dumb they were in the middle of the street where cars drive every day if they don't know that the streets are for cars to drive in did I don't know what to tell them if you stand in the street you could get hit by a car that isn't make them racist that makes you stupid

So dumb. They where in the street where cars drive.

The media wants to hide the driver’s identity I wonder why?

He should be charged with murder. He chose to go on a closed freeway and intentionally hit people. The car should be a deadly weapon.

Funny how you don't see the drivers picture ABC News. He was black. But you don't report that. That wouldn't push your agenda to divide us, would it?

19 paragraphs in, they finally mention that the driver is black. Well..., not quite, They say the police report indicated the driver was black. The color of the car is reported in the 4th paragraph.

The driver must not have been white or they would have stated it lol. Heard yall got some backlash for twisting the story. Instead of saying black driver, they said luxury car lol.

Good ..

But the driver is black. It's racist to charge him with a crime

Sure looks possible that it was all a terrible accident -- late at night, dark, on the freeway. We'll see.

He is a black guy. They were in the street.

Premeditated murder. Went there with the purpose of causing severe bodily damage.

He was black.

Why TF was driving the wrong way on the freeway ? He deserves to be sent to prison for life. That video was horrific to watch.

Is this that black guy that was driving the wrong way onto the interstate in a stolen Jaguar and hit those two white...chicks? Dudes? Idk, they were some kind of trans. Anyway, ironic that the black guy is going to jail after committing a crime against white BLM protesters

Don Lemon, Terry Crews Have Heated Black Lives Matter Exchange“Black lives do matter, but, when you’re talking about an organization, you’re talking about the leaders. You’re talking about the people who are responsible,” Terry Crews said during the exchange on CNN ..and this TheMoreYouKnow I agree with Terry Crews. BLM say or does absolutely nothing about the high number of black on black murders happening in places like Chicago or Baltimore. It’s hypocritical. we soon see how intolerant black people are when one of them has the balls to step out of the pack and think for themselves. Its all kinds of ironic. People like Terry can see the bigger picture & the animosity being stoked up which will only lead to greater racism & turmoil
