False. The video I saw shows that he did indeed stop - TWICE. After his first stop, his vehicle was approached by a few protesters angrily demanding that he exit the vehicle. He did what any prudent person would do and drove on to put distance between himself and the threat, to stop yet again further down the road. Do you think if his goal was to purposely murder protesters that he would have stopped at all and stuck around to be bludgeoned to death by the surviving protesters?
Which would have put him on the same stretch of freeway. You make it seem like he knew ahead of time upon exactly which stretch of freeway these protesters were stationed. Not a sufficiently compelling argument.

I'll just post this same video and ask where in the 8 seconds did he stop? Sure wasn't in the hundred or so yards leading up to the accident. Someone who does not have the intent of hitting someone could have easily realized they made a mistake after getting on an off-ramp and seeing protestors, and could have slowly driven around the group or simply turned around. Plenty of cars have done that at plenty of protests over the last month. I even peacefully drove through a anti-PB protest in PDX, in my big diesel van. They had no idea who I was or what my politics were, I just drove slow, and asked where i should go.... like a normal person.
Also, getting on an on-ramp beyond the cops barricades would have put him past the protests....
