You know if Obama had a son he would look just like the roadkill in the video !
Anyone else impressed with the relatively steady camerawork while running? It shows you what his priority really was when he was running.
The thug's family will argue that the driver should have seen the thug's leg in the side view mirror of the tractor and immediately stopped. The problem for FedEx is that Missouri is a "pure comparative negligence" state. That means that if a jury finds that the thug is 90% at fault and the truck driver is 10% at fault, the truck driver/FedEx still has to pay 10% of the damages. They will argue that the thug would have turned his life around and pursued a white collar career so they can ask the jury for $5,000,000 or $10,000,000. Ten percent of that is a lot of money.
It's BS. Many other states have "modified comparative negligence," where the thug's family would not recover anything if the thug was more than 50% at fault. I think that is the better rule.

I think FedEx should sue the thug's family for damages and cleaning.
I think this is the perfect place to say:
Thats not gonna buff out.
Thats not gonna buff out.
I feel this is a smear campaign against Fedex..
When I had a SPAS 12, I'd learned (and was told by the previous owner) that only 'Hot Loads' in 2 3/4" actually cycled the action. Slugs and SSG's type of thing. Not very much would cycle it. But THOSE cycled it just fine. Very VERY lots of fine.
Now, back to your previously scheduled idiocy-amok programming.
Gives new meaning to the term road rash!
Hope FEDEX stands firm behind their driver.

I hope they don't throw him under the truck. I mean bus.
Just be sure that they don't stand "in front of" because well.... you know how THAT ends!

( I am pretty sure ? ) , FedX is commercially carries US Postal for transfer/dropoff to USPS along with other contracts they carry for ( there is that legal angle ).
There is States Law, ..but there is a lot of in depth Fed. Reg. code Law attached with ( Commercial Interstate commerce ) being conducted on Federal interstate /Fed. funded State Hwy's , in the United States, along with old Fed. law/reg. that is grandfathered in . I am pretty sure there is a portion of it, would pertain to, Assault, attempt murder, High jack and blocking of commercial interstate commerce ?
The deal is ( i don't know ? ) were they blockading a Federal interstate/state Hwy ? . because if so . With the right Lawyer, and I am quite positive FedX Corp. has some of the Best on retainer. The Driver of that commercial vehicle will not be prosecuted on any level .
I don't think Union lawyers are going to step in, as FedX Pilots I think are totally Union backed, but the Commercial road drivers ( I think? ) are not . Still FedX does not need the bad press with hanging out one of there commercial drivers for prosecution, Just like the same FedX Lawyers want No Part of repercussions with there driver getting murdered by rioters blocking a interstate commerce .
.
I've had several cases where FedEx was involved. To the extent that FedEx has contracts with the government, that does not give it immunity from a lawsuit. You are correct that there are defenses the driver/FedEx will have based on the circumstances the driver was in. But those defenses are for the jury to consider; they don't make the case go away. Almost daily, I see big companies pay settlements that they should not pay because they fear the unknown of what a jury will do. Having tried a lot of cases, I generally have faith in juries. But corporate bean counters and decision makers are often less inclined to roll the dice and go to trial, especially in death cases.
I do not think the driver will be criminally prosecuted.

It good that there is Vid. and audio recorded and copied, The dissection of audio with attackers, rhetoric used and the large number of attackers involved on the attempt of forcefully removing the driver from vehicle .
?? This for sure will go to grand jury 1st . as long as common sense is Not thrown out the window, (should be) , enough evidence presented to Not prosecute .
.
It was the only Franchi I ever had. My SPAS cycled full 2 /34" loads or slugs like a scalded ape, but you had to pump it for trap loads (yeah I did that) had to hit em right out of the thrower, which was one of our unlucky friends
. Young and dumb. Gun was totally unpractical, cylinder bore, 21" barrel if I remember right. Sold it to put myself through school & bought a proper hunting rig (Bennelli SBE + a ER Shaw riffled slug barrel) a few years later, still have it, never getting rid of it.
