You are correct they had no right to block the streets, so TN is attempting to give people license to run them over. People do something illegal each and every day, that doesn't mean they deserve a death sentence.
Controlling protests are very complicated, think back to the protests in the 60's with Bull Connor. Using extreme physical force doesn't end up very well.
Again and again:
Again, we are not talking about a wavier of criminal prosecution for deliberately ramming over people with the intent to commit harm. The law address CIVIL liability when exercising due care. All this means is you can not be sued in a civil court for monetary damages if there is an injury resulting from illegal protesting blocking your legal right to travel.
Do you understand the difference in criminal and civil liability?

You are wasting your breath on this. No one seems to want to understand what the bill actually is. They just want to pound on it from whichever side suits them without regarding the facts.
Put it this way. Somebody's going to prison one way or another. Not even an ambulance runs straight through a crowd when their lights and siren are on. So you can try to do the usual appeal to emotion, but when an ambulance with their lights and siren on won't be plowing through protestors on the way to the hospital, then you are SOL son. But, like I said, somebody has to go to prison in this scenario, and that's how the police operate. Doesn't matter who it is, you NEVER mow someone down just because you're in their way or vice versa. But hey, it was a noble sacrifice on your part. Killed someone to save your baby, but then that baby grows up with a father in prison. Choices
Yep, and if the choice is my baby dies or I go to prison, it's an easy one. My baby will live. The protestors best understand that. Their lives are not more valuable than my baby's.
Are we forgetting that stopping or standing on freeways without some emergency is illegal?
Must people may slow down but if morons are blocking a runway with active planes, guess the DNC will be short a few voters. Try protesting in an alligator pit. Fat dumb and stupid is no way to go through life.
