A motorist has been charged by police after he ran over an artist in the middle of a 'reclining performance' in Salzburg’s Residenzplatz on Wednesday after mistaking her for a mannequin or puppet.

The 41-year-old artist, from Tennengau, was performing what she called a “reclining performance” in the old town and lay down on the ground.

Police said the woman had been told by several locals and passers by that laying down on the ground in that area was dangerous, but clearly the warning was not heeded.

Later in the day, a 71-year-old motorist drove over the woman while trying to reach an inner courtyard.

He told police he saw an obstruction in the road which he thought was some kind of doll and was unable to move around her, so he decided to run it over lengthways.

Play stupid games...

Police charged the man with driving causing negligent bodily harm, although the public prosecutor must decide whether or not to push charges.

What in the actual fuck. This woman painted herself up to look identical to a fucking mannakin and then lays down IN THE FUCKING ROAD.

ROADS ARE FOR DRIVING AUTOMOBILES, NOT FOR YOUR RETARDED "PERFORMANCE ART". Driver saw the obstruction in the road, was not able to go around it because of incoming traffic.... so he ran her over. He had no reason to believe that "that white object in the road is a human being". But he's being charged with negligence.

This is so typical of how innocent, good people get fucked over by the "justice system". Victims are expected to be fucking mind readers who know everything, including the intentions of other people. By charging this truck driver, they are implying that he should have known that the WOMAN PAINTED UP TO LOOK IDENTICAL TO A MANIKIN should have been known to this 71 year-old truck driver doing his job. He was negligent- he neglected to go onto Facebook that morning and look at ALL OF THE EVENTS HAPPENING IN THE AREA for that day, so he could be aware of the "art" and drive accordingly.

This is clown world justice. The man driving on the road, working, is "neglectful". The woman who painted herself to look like AN INANIMATE OBJECT and then laid down in the fucking street- she's a victim. She could have done nothing to prevent herself being run over by the MONSTROUS 71 YEAR OLD TRUCK DRIVER WHO DIDN'T SWERVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO AVOID THE DEBRIS IN THE ROAD. It's his fault. Fuck.

Just kill me. I can't take this shit.
