Suspect in fatal hit-and-run at Black Lives Matter protest in Seattle pleads not guilty

on a closed Seattle freeway that left a Black Lives Matter protester dead and another seriously injured was arraigned on Wednesday as demonstrators stood outside the courthouse chanting the victims' names.

Prior to the hearing, Love received cheers from supporters while appearing on a livestream broadcast from a hospital bed. Love, of Portland, Oregon, suffered a traumatic brain injury, a shattered pelvis and tailbone, a broken arm, and three fractures to a leg. Love said the recovery from the injuries is expected to be a long one.

A person holds a sign that reads"Justice for Summer and Diaz," during a rally near the King County Courthouse, July 22, 2020, in Seattle, to call for justice in the death of Summer Taylor, who was killed by a car driven by Dawit Kelete while taking part in a Black Lives Matter protest on a closed Seattle freeway in a crash that also seriously injured protester Diaz Love.

State police said that following the collision, the Jaguar continued to head south on the freeway and that protesters in a vehicle chased it for about a mile before maneuvering in front of the Jaguar and forcing it to stop, according to the complaint.

"No words can express or make up for the suffering that Diaz Love, Summer Taylor's family, and their loved ones and friends are enduring at this moment," the family's statement reads."We recognize the pain is profound, raw and unbearable. It is always gut wrenching to lose one's child at a young age, but it is more hurtful under these circumstances."

What were they doing standing in the middle of a highway? He’s supposed to know that? He swerved to avoid another vehicle and that person was hit! Watch the video. It’s out there...

Another black on black killing. A tragic accident but when you block roads, there are inherent risks and possible consequences.

All lives matter whoever has been killed justice must be served

So which side did BLM take?

Black guy kill a white woman who was protesting BLM? Am i the only one seeing this shit? Did insanity take over the people of America? This is not any more about BLM... This are riots and idiots are people just too stupid?

Black driver no doubt feared for high life in a dark highway blocked by strangers. Would have driven through myself

They didn't chant 'Black Lives Matter,' I wonder why?

A bunch of white people illegally loitering on a freeway caused a black man to go to jail? Wow, seems antithetical to the whole “black lives matter” thing

Reminds me of that Greatful Jones song, Casey Jones. “Driving that train, high on cocaine...” He’s got an addiction to Percocet and they are awaiting testing for probable meth in the car. That is why you don’t protests even on a closed roadway. Stupid people like this guy .

That man is a hero, he should not be charged

This is what happens when you give these losers $600 a week to not work. They need to cut the shit and contribute to society instead of trying to destroy it. It’s fucking ridiculous. GO TO FUCKING WORK!

In that entire picture I do not see one black person. I’m sure somewhere in the crowd there may be one, but I don’t see it. Just remember folks. She died for standing up for BLM. Let that sink in.

Still standing in the street

Keke Palmer condemns rumors that show was canceled over Black Lives Matter activism'If anything, my speaking out showed the corporations I work with how important my voice is,' the 'Strahan, Sara and Keke' co-host wrote. NBC, stop fanning the flames. The show was cancelled because no one would watch it.. Since cancelling All My Children, every talk show in that time slot has failed. We would rather watch news than another silly talk show. Best of luck to Keke.

Why the Black Lives Matter movement doesn't want a singular leaderThe Black Lives Matter movement doesn’t have a typical power structure — and it doesn’t want to, as it wages battle on multiple fronts It may not have a typical power structure but it does operate within a typical power structure. The BLM organization is ran by White Liberals. Every time a Black person suffers an injustice these White Liberals use that Black person’s skin color, pain and suffering to raise money. If you are a minority, stop allowing yourself to be made into a bottom girl for Whites. They’re self admitting Marxists. Who cares?
