I don't understand this fascination the current strand of "conservatism" has developed in regards to causing/threatening bodily harm to those they disagree with.

If they block the road, the cops will arrest them ... no need to run people over. It's absurd. When did it become ok to just mow people down because they are protesting in the road? Why are "conservatives" obsessed with hurting people who disagree with them?

That's the problem, police don't arrest the thugs blocking interstates. Many online videos show police just idly standing by while protesters pound on cars. Maybe the democrat liberal mayors are directing police to do nothing but stand in place like traffic cones.

It's surprising that any police officers still want to work in cities where the mayors hate police such as San Francisco and LA. If a thousand walked off the job tomorrow, the city could magically run itself.

The glee with which this proposed monstrosity of a law has been met by our conservative friends here on C-D gives us all a glimpse into the black hearts that now control the party. I bet the large majority of them are sitting in a church somewhere right now, pretending to be Christians, while they daydream about running over their fellow citizens who disagree with them.

Just like Jesus taught...

I'm going to throw out a 'you people'. You people have no sense of humor. Do you really think conservative are itching to run over protestors? Really? It's more about not facing charges. Here's an incident that happened in Washington.


Peaceful Protesters Hit By Car ... Police Charge Protesters, Not Driver


"Lt. Christopher Micciche (MITCH’-ih-kay) of the D.C. police said the driver was not cited because he had a green light when his vehicle struck the three on Friday night.
He said witnesses told police that the three pedestrians “either ran toward or jumped in front of the moving vehicle.” He said one pedestrian jumped on the hood of the car. One of them was cited for being in the roadway."


"the protesters have a very different version of events"


Now you have a case of he said, she said. This bill would eliminate the potential for the driver to face charges just because people are idiots.

Police: Ferguson Protesters Fire At Motorist After Vehicle Hit Demonstrator (Video) | Law News
UPDATE: Protesters Behind I-70 Shutdown Charged With Assaulting a Driver and Damaging Her Vehicle | News Blog


These are just a few of the many incidents that have been occurring. Time to put a stop to it and give drivers some legal protection..

Ah you're talking about third semester abortions. A woman has a right to " kill people" that are only a couple months from being born. Wonderful right for women. Nice to feel so free to feel good.

I think most people with a better than a 3rd-grade education. I guess that would eliminate many liberals.

Exclamation Now north Dakota has bill allowing drivers to accidentally run over protesters

Difference in this law, as reported by the Washington post, is that drivers must " accidentally " run over protesters to be protected.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...er-protesters/

What this basically means is that you don't want to honk first as this would indicate your intentions of hitting a protester. Keeping it accidentally is key to not being charged.

Dear,

Even Jesus would tell someone, if he were around now, that if you don't use your god given brain and choose to stand in the middle of a busy highway, then you will probably get hit by a car.

LOL
