Diaz Love: I'm Alive and Stable

Seattle Protester Struck by Car Speaks Out: 'I'm Alive and Stable'

"I'm alive and stable. In a lot of pain. I cannot believe Summer was murdered. If they thought this murder would make us back down, they are very wrong. Very wrong," Love wrote alongside a picture taken in hospital.

"My FB is filled with death threats, that and only being able to use one hand has me going slow. I deeply appreciate and feel all the love y'all are sending me." Love has been contacted for additional comment.

SEATTLE (AP) — A judge on Monday set a $1.2 million bail for the man accused of driving a Jaguar on to a closed Seattle freeway and hitting two protesters, killing one and seriously injuring the other.

Dawit Kelete, who is Black, drove the car around vehicles that were parked on Interstate 5 to protect a group of Black Femme March demonstrators, part of the Black Lives Matter movement protesting racial inequality and police violence. The car hit two people and sped away about 1:40 a.m. Saturday, police said.

Over the weekend, a judge found probable cause to hold Kelete on an investigation of vehicular assault.

The state patrol said going forward it won’t allow protesters to enter I-5 and would arrest pedestrians on the freeway.

With all due respect please stay the hell off the freeway. I don't think it changes anyone's mind and I'm frankly surprised someone wasn't hurt before this.

People can protest on the freeway overpass and broadcast their message to a lot more people.
