The driver of a transport truck carrying live pigs was told by a 911 dispatcher not to move less than a minute before he drove forward, killing animal activist Regan Russell, according to information obtained by the Star related to the 2020 case.

He's a murderer and a liar.
If I jump in front of a bus is the bus driver guilty? This person had every opportunity to move. They died for nothing.
In Western democracies there are many ways to protest and/or communicate your concerns. Blocking traffic is among the most dangerous and least persuasive.
Looked like suicide to me!!
She stood in front of a moving truck because she was a delusional narcissist who thought she was the center of the universe and couldn't be harmed. Turns out she was wrong. Screw her.
If these domestic terrorists don't have to obey the law, then they don't get to complain when no one else does either.
(And of course Google is deleting comments to defend these criminals. Because of course they are. Google employees are the the most reprehensible people on Earth.)
That unhinged 'activist' did it to herself. Walking in front of a truck where the driver can't see her wasn't the smartest idea and can't feel sorry for her
The was a tremendously unfortunate but avoidable tragedy. Both the driver and the decedent should have been more careful. One thing is for sure; walking in front of a large moving vehicle, like a train or semi-truck, is EXTREMELY dangerous and unwise to do.
The family hopefully gets paid. That driver was told to not move and did. Plain and simple. He also called 911 and called these people "dangerous"? Are you kidding me? That's borderline false report. That trash got off easy
She found out.
This video aside…why does anyone feel the need to give water to animals that will be slaughtered in a few moments? Honest question. I mean i know it makes the people feel better, but it really seems pointless… sorry for her death…
The gleeful victim-blaming in these comments? JFC, no wonder our world is screwed when people are THIS hateful.
She fucked with the wrong dude. Not wise to step infront of someone who was just bother for the 10th time by these loonies.
Watching it twice and at 0.25x speed i don't think anyone can say for sure that this was by intent.
At before 10:21:55 the protester was standing still at the side of the road. The driver presumably checked at that time that the road was clear in front of him. He obviously then paid attention to the white vehicle passing his truck as he started moving only after that car had cleared the crossing at 10:21:56. Presumably he then double checked that there were no other cars approaching in the right lane and that none of the protestors were running up to his truck again. At 10:21:57 she ran into the street in front of his moving truck. It is very well possible that he was occupied by looking into the back mirrors at that second. When he looked forward again there is a good chance that the truck was already too close to her for him to notice her.
Take home message … do NOT step in front of moving trucks!
