It is amazing the heights of entitlement to the “freedom” of others some feel. In this case, at least no one got killed as in the Ahmaud Arbery murder.
Viral video shows black truck driver blocked in, questioned by white residents on delivery route | TheHill
A video going viral on Facebook this week shows the moment a black truck driver in Oklahoma says he was blocked in and questioned by residents in a gated community as he was making a delivery.
In the video, which was first broadcast on Facebook on Monday and has since racked up more than 100,000 views, the driver, Travis Miller, could be seen repeatedly telling a man who claimed to be president of the local homeowners association to clear the way so that he could proceed with his delivery route.
“So, I’m going live. This is what I’m dealing with right now,” Miller says as he turns his camera to show the man’s car pulled up in front of his truck on a street in the neighborhood.
“This is what I’m dealing with,” he continues as he turns the camera toward the man, “Napoleon, get out the way.”
“My name is David Stewart,” the man, who appeared to be talking to someone else on the phone, could be heard responding off to the side of Miller’s truck.
“I don’t care,” Miller responds. “Move out the way, sir.”
After several moments during which the man continues to talk on the phone, Miller asks, “Can you tell him to hang up and move so I can leave? Thank you.”
“I asked you one question,” the man tells Miller.
“It’s none of your business,” Miller says, to which the man responds: “No, no. It is my business.”

That’s easy enough, all delivery firms need to blacklist that gated community.
All orders, returned to sender as delivery refused.
When they bitch, double the time of prohibited deliveries.
Delivery refused usually results in additional charges, plus any restocking fee…
I believe the homeowner’s association should also be billed for every billable second that they wasted of the company’s driver’s time, preventing the company from making money. I figure that $50/minute is fair.
After the driver totaledk the illegally obstructing vehicle in the interest of driver’s safety.
And an angry call to the Mayor and district attorney over the lawlessnes enforcement officer’s ignoring unlawful restraint, restriction of trade and denial of contracted services. For which I’d place him under citizen’s arrest under Oklahoma statute for the above felony charges.
Still, I suspect that it’s only a matter of time until they try that shit with a USPS delivery vehicle and they end up in federal prison for their trouble.

I think people should contact JB Hunt to compliment how well the driver handled the situation at a time while grieving the loss of two relatives in two days.
