Tense moments this afternoon after the driver of a truck pushes through a group of BLM agitators blocking access the gas station where a Lafayette man was shot by police last week.
The crowd is seen standing in front of the pickup truck, then locking arms, but as the vehicle inches forward, the crowd is forced to let it through. The driver is then harassed for daring to fill his tank.
The gas station, located on the Evangeline Thruway, was surrounded this afternoon by those protesting the death of Trayford Pellerin. The protesters had been there about 30 or 40 minutes, creating a human chain to block vehicles from using the gas station. They say weren't please with how the store handled Pellerin's death. Protesters tell us they felt the store's owner should have closed the store temporarily, or at least let them put flowers on the property.
