Don’t stand in the middle of an interstate at 1:40 in the morning, idiot!

Summer’s pronouns are they/them. Please fix the misgendering!

People are literally more upset about WSJ calling the woman “she” than they are about how she was killed. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Stop the protesting then if it can save just one life.

I thought “go play in traffic” was something said in jest... Also, that wasn’t a closed highway. Fake News.

You’re on the highway? Cars are on the highway? Better to be in a car than trying to avoid one, on the highway.

Very tragic, but that BLM Violent Marxist woman brought on her death, she had no business protesting in middle of freeway in the dark of the night! The mayors enabling them have blood on their hands!

A car will win every time!

Black driver, white protestor, nothing to do with trump. Stay out of the street, you won’t get hit. Pretty simple concept. She was on a highway, at night, dressed in dark clothes.

BLACK man, an immigrant, with no known employment for four years, driving a VERY expensive car, ran over protestors blocking the road. Hey dummies, don't stand in the highway.

It was not closed. It was blocked by protestors. At 130 am. In the DARK. CALL IT WHAT IT IS

In a highway. What a dumb idea. Should have been more smart. Life lost unnecessary. Why the government official permits it? Death are on them.

So AllLivesMatter ?

She got exactly what she deserved. Karma

Ban the gay pride flag it offends me

Stupid games result in death

The rioters had blocked the road. The Seattle police and Washington HP allowed them to do it. This was a tragedy waiting to happen. It took 2 deaths for Washington Gov and Seattle mayor to decide blocking freeways isn't safe. Time for new leadership.

Poke the pissed off button of the majority only so many times

Simple logic. Highway for cars. If u stand in the middle of the highway, u r basically committing suicide

Too bad. She was a threat and intended harm. What did she expect on an open highway.

Why is there an implicit expectation that protesting by obstructing a highway should be risk-free? A 'closed' highway?

McClain_on_NFL Closed or blocked ?

So

Did she need the police? 😂

Ironic. Black man kills white women who were out there at an insane hour protesting for the rights of the black man? Welcome to bizarroworld, and the 'New Normal'.

Am i the only one that want's to know why these idiots were even protesting at 1:30 am? Any sane person is in bed at that time. And wtf was that black dude doing driving around at that hour? In my opinion they were all in the wrong! Sometimes shit happens. End of story.

Driver was black.

one less dumbass in this world. Hopefully she didn't reproduce or spawn.

When did the state close the highway? Oh.

Don’t block the public’s access to their streets. Streets are where auto’s transverse. On foot, I typically stay out of them so that I won’t get ran over. You construct a barrier with your body? You might get hit.

If Highway was closed, how did the car get get there?

Wait , does playing in traffic mean a road is closed ? Nope just as I thought , she was a dumb ass and got run da hell over ,, l o l .

Protesting ?

Every life is precious

Breaking news. Dr. Anthony Fauci has advised against walking on interstate highways in the middle of the night. May be dangerous to your health.

Good for the driver. Hopefully she gets away clean. Black driver life matters

Trump supporter kills protester with vehicle should be the headline.

Blocking traffic. Idiots.

Any death is tragic...ones actions always have consequences.

These 'protesters' are not doing anyone any good but blocking traffic of hard working Americans or people just trying to get to or fro. Stay off the highways and roads. No reason for it, there are plenty of parks.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

The driver was a black male.

Woman = she. Thanks WSJ!!

Tragedy !😷

Let the driver go, it's what they would have wanted

🤬

Watching the twisted and powerless flail is quite gratifying. God forgive me.🙏🏻 SilentNoMore 🤐 GodWins ✝️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The car was protesting protesters on the freeway

The driver is black! has no problem pointing it out if he was white!

goes out to protest 'black lives matter'......gets killed by a black life. Oh the irony.

she got what she asked for. no sympathy here.

An 8 year old was killed tonight by the democrat, media, hollywood thugs. Media has been pushing BLM, rioters and looters. Now this little innocent girl is dead.

Protesting. These thugs arent protesting. They're destructive thugs.

Hope she knew our Lord and Savior.

Nothing good happens after 11 o’clock

On a highway illegally blocked with cars.

Why did you assume her gender

Tough luck. Stop protesting in the streets and highways. And haven’t we had enough protesting how about doing some voting or something else we’re really getting tired of protesters

Don’t protest on the freeway !

Was she hit by an autonomous vechicle or was there a driver?

Play in traffic you might get hurt

Protesting is a dangerous sport...beware! seattle shithole Leftcoast fecalstreets uspoli

McClain_on_NFL “Get out the way”

McClain_on_NFL This is why you don’t stand on the highway, highways are made for cars...

A black man was driving

Try this WSJ. A BLACK driver in a JAGUAR who evaded the POLICE previously, swerved around VEHICLES parked by RIOTING PROTESTERS in the middle of INTERSTATE 5, and then failed to avoid 2 IDIOTS playing protest games in the middle of a major FREEWAY. Fixed it.

Killed by a black man while protesting police brutality against black men.

What a wasted life. Shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

Yep. That will happen if you protest/dance/walk on a roadway. People will be hit or killed. Stupidity dumbasses Protest on a sidewalk late morning/early afternoon. Also no more evening protests should be allowed. No reason to protest in the dark.

StupidIsAsStupidDoes

😕

No different than any other roadkill, except animals are more valuable than this human scum

Sad. How many times are we told not to go in the street as kids. Sometimes we don't think. So sad this happened. This is someone's little girl. Prayers for her loved ones to be comforted.

Closing a freeway for a protest? The inevitable happened with this very stupid idea. Tragic but inevitable.

😂

So was the driver arrested and charge from this crime?

Imagine that, got hit while walking on a highway.

She should not have been on the road. Even if it was closed.

Oh gee, so sad.

Marxisam kills.

It sounded like the car hit two poles. The bodies looked like they went flying over 20’ in the air. That was one of those Faces of Death videos from 30 years ago. Wow

The car drove itself?

in the video they immediately call for the police.. hmm

Roads are made for CARS. Not people. Stay off the damn roads.

I’m regretting that I subscripted WSJ! You biased news media! Who permitted the protesters on free way has the responsibility for the girl’s death! It’s the common sense that free way is for cars! WSJ, u are losing your readers!

She was in violation of the law. Disorderly conduct

Cars don’t drive themselves

Closed highway, hit by a car. Vehicular Homicide actually.

This is horrible. This is why these protests need to be shut down. There is little effect from the ongoing protests. Kids are getting killed , or getting 10 year prison sentences. Parents , talk sense into your children . Stop protesting and get a job to make a difference .

24 and didn't know not to play on a freeway.......

Stop protesting in the fucking high ways. Also, the driver was black.

sadly!

Why were the highways closed? Get our children off the streets, back to work and school

They were hit by a DRIVER using a car as a murder weapon. Don't make it sound like a freak accident.

Closed road not for construction, not a bottled necked road, but a highway, a motorist roadway, closed for a pedestrian protest? Whoever approved this unlawful usage of a motorway holds primary liability. Pedestrians have rights to the sidewalk, cars have rights to the road

darwin

Protesting the police... but how many police cars and emergency vehicles are in the picture?

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

I mean....at least it wasn’t a mustang

Darwin+Laws of Physics=Stupid Death. If you cant understand basic Common Sense, maybe ya shouldnt Vote.

Why that Woman and other Women protesting so late? She should protest early.

I sure as hope the police didn't attend. This group wants them defunded.

Why did you omit race in this headline? Any other headline where the roles are reversed would have ABSOLUTELY included race.

Driven by a black oerson

Driver was a black male. And just why were they protesting on a freeway?

Summer was nonbinary and used they/them pronouns, you need to fix this article

My condolences to her family. However what was she allowed to protest on the highway!! This is the MayorJenny responsibility

Bad decisions lead to bad outcomes!!

Stop fucking standing in the middle of a highway!!

crazy!!

White woman - protester Killed by a black man - driver INTERESTING!

So you’re saying that was the police’s fault too? 😒🤦🏻‍♀️

Irresponsible Header! Is WSJ leaning left now?!

She chose poorly. One less antifa scum bag to worry about.

If you play with fire long enough you eventually can expect to get burned. It is sad that she was so brainwashed that she chose to make a very poor decision and stay in the street. Her freedom of choice cost her her life.

On a state highway! Who put this protest together? Blame them! Fools protest on a major state highway!

who closed the highway? On a dark highway with no police lights for safety. No reflective traffic vests. “Protestors” wearing dark clothing. 🙄 please! Tell people to stop being dumbasses blocking roadways.

I'm just relieved that four ambulances, a fire truck, and ten cop cars came to the scene. I hope they got it all covered.

Capt. Mead emphasized that the freeway is “simply not a safe place” for pedestrians,

And the car was driven by ?

Passive voice? They were hit by a car. So it’s... the random car’s fault? Tell the news WSJ not the weirdly-lacking-information circumstances of the news.

and the black man who hit her on the highway should sue all involved for blocking traffic and targeting law abiding citizens.

Excuse you, the highway was not closed at the moment of collision. It was not until after that it was closed. Either way play dumb games win dumb prizes. That includes being in the middle of a highway at night.

Summer Taylor's blood is on Trump's hands. This is because of his division and hate. His tone his speeches caused this. Why anyone can still support this hateful little man is beyond me.

RIP Useful idiot

Memo........... stay off of highways.

Oooo, shite has consequences eh?

She died over a bullshit cause. BLM

Leave race out of all deaths then please . Thank you ! We are !! USA 🇺🇸!!

*Person. Summer wasn’t a woman, please respect that WSJ.

She was white tho. Her life doesn’t matter.

Omitting the races you trashcan news org

Nonbinary person. they/them pronouns

Pretty goddamn sure deliberately running over someone with your car is VEHICULAR HOMICIDE, but whatever.

Weird. Who would have thought that standing on a freeway at night would result in injuries and deaths?

*White woman* killed by *black man* Where are these key info in the headlines?

Who hit them with a car? A picture and name, please!

this person was non-binary using they/them pronouns. please correct this tweet and headline.

A 24-year-old woman died of her injuries after she and another woman were hit by a car on a closed highway in Seattle while protesting against automobile brutality, authorities said

The driver was black. Imagine if the driver was white, we would have by now riots and destruction.

what were they doing on the road? not protesting. cant protest on a road. they could riot on a road, but not protest. roads are for cars, sidewalks are for people and protests. cars dont belong on sidewalks and people dont belong on roads. simple.

THEY. NOT SHE. Summer went by THEY. Journalists should be able to get this right.

For everyone who is jumping to conclusions: This was placed around a bend in the highway, the driver swerved to avoid the 2 UNLIT cars blocking it, to be met with a crowd of people dark clothing at NIGHT, he swerved again to miss the crowd and ended up hitting a couple of people.

This is what happens when you hold an illegal protest! Keep it in mind next time, there will be more deaths

all we hear is nasty accusations from frump and BLM - Dems are not fascists and white folks are not the enemy of black folks

💔🙏

Who holds protests on the highway? Who’s uneducated calling was this? Come on, we at the point where these protesters cant think for themselves? Freaking sheep being pushed off a cliff ppl be smart. Go to a park or parking lot idk somewhere other than a damn highway. Dumbass!!

Sad.

Karma

“A closed highway”. Haha it was makeshift barricades by the insurrection mob. NOT closed. Protesters shouldn’t stand in the middle of the interstate

More like “idiotic Antifa member” ran over while blocking traffic

Free Dawit Kelete and Alex Fields. Stay TF out the street and stop attacking cars.

Guess what if you are walking in the middle of the highway and get hit by a car it’s kinda your own damn fault. There are plenty of other places you can do your protests. Common sense is not so common these days

Highways are for cars, not people. Whoever let the protesters on the highway should be charged with her death.

GET OFF THE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS AND YOU WONT GET HIT BY CARS

Of course if the victims and driver were both opposite races their races would have made the headline.

“The Washington State Patrol said Sunday evening that going forward it won’t allow protesters to enter I-5 and would arrest pedestrians on the freeway.” - NOW leadership steps up and decides that protesters on a freeway might be a bad thing.

It’s a start

Masa96182822

Pretty stupid to stand on a highway at night “protesting”. I hope the police prosecute the protesters for breaking the law.

Ppl are done with these protesters. This kind of stuff is going to happen

Ok, I learned something from this. Standing on a freeway is dangerous. Got it. IdontsupportMAGAdontcallmeanazi

I’m glad the news is reporting this valuable lesson for our kids. Don’t stand on the highway wearing all black at night especially if the driver may sway to avoid a raging violent mob.

A Black guy goes on closed highway and kills one white girl and serious care for the other. All this happened at a blm protest on a highway? So how does this help black lives The blm organizers should be arrested on manslaughter charges. New level of stupidity

Soooo. A tranny and a woman protesting for black lives matter on a freeway...... were ummmm run over by a black guy..... strange times.... strange times.

I lived in Seattle for 15 years. I have no idea why any group would march on I5 especially the location that they did & at that time of day. This is a highly dangerous area of the highway as it traverses right under downtown. That being said we are most likely looking at a DUI

You know, I lived in Seattle for 15 years. I have no idea why any group would march on I5 especially the location that they did. This is a highly dangerous area of the highway as it traverses right under downtown Seattle. There are numerous merges/on ramps

Lesson: Don't play in the road at night; people can't see you.

PrayersforeveryoneinWashington! Condolences to the families and friends! Everyone needs to calm down and respect the protesters out there!

This article repeatedly misgenders the deceased. Attn: gerardtbaker - corrections and apologies are needed.

Right pedal!

Walking on I-5? I don't even like to drive on it (which I do every day - or did before COVID-19)

The car was driving down a highway, at night. These idiots rushed the highway. That’s extremely dangerous.

Half-truths are still lies, but in this case that entire headline is a lie.

Seattle needs leadership to prevent this kind of tragedy. The governor needs to step in bc this mayor is not getting it done.

Well a highway is for cars and vehicles not for dumd american brainless protestants, wtf you expect on a highway, it wasn't closed after al

Driving on the freeway is stressful enough. Freeways and highways should be off limits to protesters. This has been going on for 3 weeks straight

How is protesting on a highway in the middle of the night effective? I hope the driver and the car is ok. MAGA

They died doing what they loved the most, being idiots.

When violence and killing can stop in this country? Americans are too miserable.

The article says 'panicked protestors'!?!? THEY WERE ON A FREAKING HIGHWAY!!!

Is the car okay? The Not Bright Bulb Woke Mob put cars to block the highway, which was not 'closed.' Should interstate freeway speed now be 4 mph for Antifa Mobs? Was there a sign: 'Stop for Woke & Stoned Activists'?

The protesters had been on the freeway for over an hour when the two women were hit at 1:36 am. Her death is a direct result of GovInslee and MayorJenny allowing protesters on the interstate freeway for 19 NIGHTS IN A ROW.

Maybe protesting on a freeway isn't such a good idea.

A white BLM female protester standing in the middle of a highway killed by a black driver , who was not a BLM protester.... Boy it's getting complicated

Seems these actions have become the new moment of peace.

So protest is now viewed as a crime punishable by death by car? Administered by an irate member of the driving public? Road rage combined with trumpist MAGA syndrome is a toxic combo.

PLAY STUPID GAMES WIN STUPID PRIZES!!! Get the fuck out of the street !!!

Omg! I pray for her family

It apparently wasn’t closed

Who closed it?

You fight, WE fight

Some people are less than smart. For instance, protesting in the MIDDLE OF AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 1AM!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

She was standing on the freeway?

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

Wtf

The protesters caused a closing of the freeway after midnight UNPLANNED. They hid behind vehicles & some hapless driver hit the brakes (watch the video) but couldn't stop momentum when they dashed out like morons. The driver is the victim. The driver needs to sue.

“Closed” Highway? Hmmmmmm 🤔🤔 Bet she was wearing a MAGA hat and yelled the “N” word as she “crashed” into protestors on a highway. yawn 🙄🖕🏼

Illegally closed. You make it seem they had permits to close it. They were on an open freeway! They used their cars to “close” the freeway. 80mph around a curve... what do you expect!

First of all, if you want subcribers I care about Wall Street not fucking Seattle liberal news. Secondly, I Have NO RESPECT for people just blocking a highway as a protest. They aren't proving a damn thing other than they are just assholes.

Condolences to the car.

It's a black man, BLM won't say anything.

The consequences of playing THUG in real life.

I hope the driver is charged accordingly with this new development

It wasn’t closed, it was blocked by idiots who then stood in traffic.

The person that drove into them should be charged with murder.

They shouldn’t be “protesting” on a live highway. It’s illegal.

I blame the movie 'Death Proof'. No need to make this political.
