Protestors jump on cars and shut down Lafayette Road for hours

If rioters had jumped on my vehicle, I may have feared for my life or grievous bodily harm.

And you all think a poor redneck county like Crawford county is something to laugh at...

Those that know, know!

I spent two years living inside Marion county (but outside 465) and then 15 in a donut county.

Now that we're in a rural county, we should have made this move years ago.... no liberal BS out here...

Reginald Denny. If you remember, you know.

Apparently he was driving slowly through a riot (euphemized as protest), then stopped when people stood in his way. They drug him from his truck and beat him into unconsciousness.

You can see him clearly at 1:06.

Ask the guy fromTexas how that is working out for him.

I remember that well.
The Korean store owners exercised their 2A rights.
In their case, "when seconds count", sorry you can't count on the LAPD command.

Peaceable assembly does not include blocking roads. My comments are in blue.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD officers shut down Lafayette Road between 16th street and Cold Spring Road for close to two hours Saturday night as they removed protestors from the roadway.


IMPD said officers responded to an event center in the 1700 block of Lafayette just after 5 p.m. A group of individuals was protesting the evening and were asked to leave.

Blocking traffic, this is a busy area, not good.

Police said the group went into the roadway and was blocking traffic.

Peaceable assembly does not include jumping on vehicles (that aren't yours anyway.)

At one point a vehicle drove close to the protestors and several people began jumping on vehicles, according to a police spokesperson.

Uh, what? How many people have heard of Eritrea? How many know where it is? I do, it's next to Djibouti.

Pictures from the scene show a large group of people holding signs and flags. One sign appears to read “Regime Change in Eritrea.”

Again, what? Eritrean dictatorship is counter-protesting? I'm so confused! Why are they at 16th and Lafayette blocking traffic?

A witness told our crew on scene the group is protesting the Eritrean dictatorship and supporters of the current government came to disrupt the event.

This was not that big of deal. The only car they jumped on were one or two civilians going into the event. IMPD found out this was going to happen, but it started a couple hours earlier than expected. Once enough resources were in the area protestors were pushed out of the roadway and onto the sidewalk. The road was then opened up. Only 3 tried to cross that "line" and they got arrested. Once those 3 were locked up and the other folks realized IMPD was not gonna just let them do what they wanted- they left about 830pm with no more issues.
There was a private party charging like 25$ to get in. The protestors believe it is a front to raise money to send back to the powers running the country, hence the protest.

In a liberal stronghold and had way too many social media posts.

The guy he shot had an AK IIRC.

Hey stranger

Send them all back to where they came from. Problem solved!

Hey stranger

Can I assume that this person is a member of the IMPD and that you are acquainted with them? If I'm correct please let them know not to be a stranger, we don't bite. Well not often, and usually not that hard.
