Motorcyclist Drives His Bike Through A Die-In Protest Of Trumpcare
HuffPo- A man was detained by police Wednesday after allegedly driving his motorcycle through a crowd blocking a San Francisco street in protest of the recently revealed GOP healthcare bill, also known as Trumpcare.
About 20 protesters, including seniors and people with disabilities, were staging a “die-in” by laying on the street outside the San Francisco Federal Building on Wednesday afternoon, CBS San Francisco reported. The man rode his motorcycle down the wrong way on Seventh Street, through the crowd, then turned and drove through the crowd again, activist Emily Lee told KRON4.
As seen in the video above, the man, identified by local media as Jeffrey Dillon, revved his engine as he drove through the activists who quickly jumped out of his way. He appeared to get very close to some individuals, but no one was injured in the incident.
San Francisco police surrounded Dillon with their guns drawn, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, before citing him for reckless driving and releasing him.

According to multiple reports, Dillon was the administrator of a Facebook group named “White Privilege Club,” where he reportedly posted pictures of himself with the motorcycle.
“Yell ‘White Pride’ and people look at you like ive [sic] got a clan outfit on,” another post by Dillon read. “I married a slant eye import, so you know i aint [sic] racist.”
We’ve seen this before. Protestors shut down a road, driver loses his mind and drives through them. Very tricky to take a side because on the one hand, you can’t just run people over. But on the other, you can’t just lie down in the middle of the road unless you’re Allie and Noah in The Notebook.
Of course, this motorcyclist wasn’t just heading home. He was riding the wrong way down a one-way street and he then came back for a second pass. That’s… motivated. What are his motives? Well, he LOVES white people. Jeff started a facebook group called the “White Privilege Club” which, ironically, is not the group text for my Hamptons house. It’s more like the Klan meets Sons of Anarchy.
But let’s just make one thing clear: nobody was hurt, nobody died. Jeff Dillon made his point but didn’t run anyone over. Perhaps scything your motorcycle through a die-in on main street is just the compromise we needed today.
