She inadvertently ruined two lives

The 'agreed statement of fact' is that she stepped into the intersection, I would have found the truck driver not guilty. No logical person steps in front of a moving truck.

This poor woman. What a terrible piece of shit trucker, I hope he’s charged forever and gets his karma in the clink.

He probably took the vaxx too

She was unfortunately partly responsible for her own demise.

Careless? Who’s been careless by standing and blocking the road

She was a terrorist not an activist. She was trying to mess up with food supply.

Activist shoulda stayed outta the road. Dig him up and charge him.

Pay the fine & move along 👌

Jump in front of a moving truck what did she think would happen? The driver shouldn’t be charged

When are pedestrians going to take responsibility for putting themselves selves in harms way

Is activist the fav word of CTV ?
