Laws against liability from drivers who hit protesters

REMINDER: Tennessee and Florida have both proposed legislation removing liability from drivers who hit protesters. (h/t @zachtoombs)

North Dakota tried this as well with NoDapl.

That is so wrong.

The driver won't be liable for trying to kill protesters if he lives.

K & R for absolute visibility. These are GOP hate bills aimed at killing Democrats or what the GOP Sponsors call "break the human barricade".

A terminally Ill and impoverished granny w/no health insurance learns how to "floor it" on a big rig...and takes out a passel of neo Nazis.

She goes to prison, three hots and a cot, medical care and is feted by those who have been on the receiving end of Injustice For All ...

These nitwits proposing laws that allow criminals to escape justice should learn about the LAW of UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES!
