[QUOTE="nemesis, post: 3397101, member: 12082"] TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — [URL='https://ktul.com/news/local/truck-incident-on-244-raises-legal-questions']A man hit by a truck during a Black Lives Matter rally in May[/URL] is working to file a lawsuit after the [URL='https://ktul.com/news/local/no-charges-in-i-244-truck-incident-with-protesters']district attorney declined to file charges against the driver.[/URL] It’s a moment Carmyn Taylor never wants to relive. “I really thought for a minute, I thought I was going to die because I thought the truck was going to go right over me,” Taylor said. Taylor said he watched as the truck ran over his legs. “I was stuck to his vehicle, I remember shouting multiple times, I am stuck, I can’t move, I am trapped,” he said. He came out with a broken leg and two sprained ankles, and many others were injured. That’s why Taylor says he was extremely disappointed when he heard Steve Kunzweiler, the Tulsa County District Attorney, was not going to file charges against the driver. Kunzweiler said the truck driver and his family were the victims, after multiple individuals unnecessarily escalated an already dangerous circumstance. “It was just all around a very irresponsible thing to have done,” Taylor said. “He could have decided to not press charges without also villainizing the protesters.” Even with protesters standing on the highway, Taylor’s attorney Jonathan Nation, says the fault lies with the driver. “You still have to be attentive on the road, when there is a protest, when there’s pedestrians on the street, you can’t just throw caution to the wind,” Nation said. Taylor and Nation are planning to file a civil action lawsuit. “There was a clear failure to properly maintain his vehicle,” Nation said. “He endangered people. There should be some charge on some level.” However, it pans out, Taylor says justice must be served.
