A tanker truck driver may have become the next Reginald Denny on Sunday after stopping for an irate mob blocking traffic on the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis.

Video shows the driver honking their horn and pulling up quickly as the mob fanned out but stopping to avoid someone who didn't move.

The mob swarmed the driver and started attacking the person and their truck.

The media is remarkably describing the irate mob as "peaceful protesters" and acting like they're the victims even though the driver was hospitalized and none of the rioters were injured (one apparently "lost her gun").

The driver was eventually rescued by police and taken to a hospital, though his condition is unclear:

Very disturbing actions by a truck driver on I-35W, inciting a crowd of peaceful demonstrators. The truck driver was injured & taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He is under arrest. It doesn’t appear any protesters were hit by the truck. #MACCMN

You can see the mob attacking the person's tanker truck and calling for blood in these videos:

And here’s a truck driver dragged out of his vehicle and beaten by a rampaging mob. Are these “white supremacists”? If so, white supremacy sure looks different than I expected!

I keep hearing it's just white Antifa protesters causing chaos, and they're smearing Black Lives Matter's "peaceful" protests. But here's BLM attempting to murder a trucker. Every attempted murder caught on film these past few days has been from BLM. They are a terrorist org too! pic.twitter.com/Co9kqnEr30

The mob escaped unharmed:

CrimeWatchMpls reported that the "35W was not closed at the time of the incident as it was supposed to be."

35W was not closed at the time of the incident as it was supposed to be. It had been aired prior to the incident that State didn't have enough resources to get it closed. So somebody fucked up not getting traffic stopped when it was supposed to be. #mpls

Just as with the Minneapolis Pawn Shop owner who got arrested for shooting a looter, the victim in this case was also arrested.

Police came under attack from the "peaceful protesters" just minutes later.

Officers coming under projectile attack again at 35W, people are starting to make their way towards dinky town #Mplsriot2020 #MACCMN

One protester apparently also "lost her gun" on the bridge:

A protester "lost her gun somewhere on the 35W bridge"#Mplsriot2020 #idiots

Protester dropped a gun on the bridge and lost it! #Mplsriot2020 #MACCMN

I wonder if they'll bring the driver up on additional charges for potentially contributing to the protester losing her gun?

UPDATE: The driver was apparently already on the freeway for a long time before suddenly coming upon this huge crowd blocking the road.

Harrington says DOT highway cams suggest tanker tank appeared to be already on the freeway as it was closing. But it doesn’t “absolve” the driver from aiming through a crowd of people

UPDATE II: The driver was released from the hospital and placed under arrest:

From DPS Commissioner Harrington: From the footage we are seeing on @MnDOT cameras, it appears the semi was on I-35W as authorities were closing the road. It didn’t appear to drive through any barricades. Driver released from the hospital & under arrest. #MACCMN

This is pure anarcho-tyranny.
