Tennessee just made it legal to injure protesters who are blocking roadways and other rights of way.  The bill, introduced Wednesday and which easily passed the senate Friday, renders someone who runs over a protester who is blocking the street free from civil liability, so long as the driver was exercising ‘due care.’

The bill was likely in response to The Memphis Black Lives Matter rally last July, which shut down the I-40 bridge with hundreds of protesters refusing to leave. Traffic could not go across, including the parents of a very sick baby.

I don't have a huge problem with this, to be honest. I have faith that BLM et al. can come up with more efficacious and less disruptive forms of protest. it seems to me that making people late for work (or worse) over such a dubious cause with such nebulous end-goals is only ever going to make people less and less sympathetic towards you--and perhaps such stupid behavior should be subject to a degree of blatant disregard.

Now, if only they were protesting something like marijuana criminalization. Then I'd actually get my license specifically to run over some potheads--with due care, of course.

what does "due care" entail, though

i can see that causing all kinds of problems

gently and mindfully running them the fuck over with your car

or, you know

slowing down, honking, calling out from the window, etc.

that's not guaranteed to work though. Have you seen these protesters? Some of them literally chain themselves to others. They won't move unless some physical contact between them and the car happens.

yeah, that's the idea

see, by the tone of your first post and how i interpreted it, i had assumed you were against this

Is trump /ourguy/?

can this meme /die/?

i dunno, assaulting someone with a car seems like a bit of a disproportionate response to being late for work

I'm sick of these BLM retards and protestors in general fucking over working class people.

Does make for some funny TV though.


But yup, can't see too much of a problem with this. How you'd run over people with due care is a bit paradoxical, so I'm waiting for the court cases to pop up after a roadblock protest with lawyers arguing that a driver wasn't acting careful enough whilst crushing someone's legs.

Some of the people stuck in traffic would be doctors, cops, EMS people, firefighters/volunteer, nurses and people with other important positions. Also being stuck in traffic would mean you're going to be losing a day of pay which can severely affect people if they need every cent. Anybody who pretests on a road deserves to be ran down by a semi.

OUTTA MY WAY BLM FUCKING SHITS

This is good for everyone, ironically.
Ordinary folks get to go to work and do something meaningful with their lives, and BLM have a chance to find an alternative way to spread their message that doesn't just enrage the normies.

Then online, we get to behold a new plethora of dashcam 'running in the 90s' compilations of rednecks mowing down BLM crowds in a pick up truck.
