This morning, #ShutItDown protesters chained themselves to barrels and shut down sections of I-93 near Boston.
A Massachusetts trooper asked protesters to consider what would happen if an ambulance had to get through. As it turned out, that’s exactly what happened:
Protesters who blocked 93 in Milton prevented ambulance carrying crash victim w/life-threatening injuries from reaching level 1 trauma ctr.

Other ambulances were also diverted:
Ambulance had to be diverted to a smaller hospital in SE Mass rather than level 1 Boston trauma hospital. Victim had been in Easton crash.

Numerous other ambulances had to be on-scene while we cut protesters out of restraints. Meaning they were not available if needed elsewhere

Sickening, and hardly an “incredible action”:

@DefendWallSt @Jayron26 @BLM_Boston If the person dies, they should be charged with negligent homicide.
