Tennessee Apparently Passes Law Allowing Drivers To Run Over Protesters

If u simply can't be sued, but can still be charged criminally... how does that mean it's legal?

It's always been legal in all states to run over protestors who attempt to arrest your movement, creating false imprisonment, causing you to fear for you or your passengers life. Charges will not be filed against a driver who runs over aggressive protestors attempting to stop them.
 
Why are some posters here rationalizing killing protesters? Why do they think it is altogether fitting and proper to run down their fellow Americans?

I heard similar 'thoughts' from Right Wing Establishment types after the Ohio National Guard killed four students at Kent State University in May of 1970.

Why are these people considering themselves to be Americans?

If I were to encounter road protesters I would slowly creep through the line.
If they started to pound on my truck and scream profanities all bets are off and I'm punching it.

I dont want to run anyone over but I also wont stand for my rights or my safety being compromised.

You wanna protest do it from the sidewalk,but dont block pedestrians in the process....the cops aren't likely to take your side,on the highway or off.





The BASTARD that punched that woman should have been arrested. Now he and those like him feel free to do it over and over again.



I normally dont condone striking a woman but in this situation she deserved it.
She not only punched him she spit on him.
You want equal rights? You got em.
Apparently the cop agreed.

The cops aren't the judge and jury, they are supposed to enforce the law. The woman should sue the city for aiding and abetting a violent offender!

Got a case study or history? Hunh???whats wrong? cat got your typing finger????

In the specific scenario where self defense is exculpating for criminal law? Or broader. Cuz this is presented like carte blanche for running over protesters.

The legislators specifically stated that this does not shield a driver from criminal prosecution, hence the the act must be justifiable under criminal law for this to have any effect.

If a person is in prison for vehicular assault or manslaughter, the civil case is the least of their worries.

I was in fear of my life.
That pretty much covers it.
See, that there is the slippery slope.

Than I guess these road protesters should rethink things.
 
Security isn't a premeditated function. The level of security depends on the actions of an aggressor and his ability to do great harm. The options open to such a person depends on the location where the protestors are blocking the road. In the city a protest could be up close and personal but you don't generally become a target for violence unless you become violent yourself. Calling in the cops and waiting for them to arrive would be the best decision. If you start driving over people and you get shot, I have no sympathy for you!

This is my final post on this matter. I don't feel that my pro-life stance is welcome here!

You advocated laying in wait and then shooting a driver who did not slow when a mob of protestors stepped in front of their vehicle on a highway or a freeway.

Such an act is premeditated homicide. If you do this, you will be charged.

Is ending the Constitution in order to give Soros unlimited power worth spending the rest of your life in prison over?
The protestors are already standing in the road way. They don't have to step in front of the driver. And there has to be a precedent to settle this once and for all. Lets find it!
I do not care about precedent. I'm from Georgia and if you get in front of my vehicle and try to trap me with a mob of protesters, I'm plowing through! No if's, and's or but's about it. I'm going straight on. You have two options. You're going around my car or under it. Your choice.
How are you going to differentiate between protestors and shoppers?
Shoppers are found inside stores. Normal protesters are found on sidewalks and the violent ones are found in the middle of the street trying to pull drivers from their cars. It's not rocket science. Don't over think it.

That looks like a threat.
 
You're kidding right? The ones "protesting" are leftist loons that faint at the site of a poptart gun

Not all people on the left and not all protesters are anti-gun. ;)

You're severely outnumbered snowflake...and would be wise to remember that

I'm outnumbered by what? I get the feeling you are making assumptions about me that you have no good reason to. ;)

I've read your drivel...

You still haven't answered the question. What am I outnumbered by? I am neither a liberal nor a protester, which is what I mentioned before you made your outnumbered comment, so I'm curious what you think I am and am outnumbered by. ;)
Brain cells?

Hw are you going to differentiate between protestors and shoppers?

Shoppers arent screaming profanities and standing in the middle of the road,they're walking through the intersection with shopping bags.
See how shallow your thinking is? You just assume all shoppers have just finished shopping ands are loaded down with bags instead of heading to their favorite store empty handed,
Besides, are you going to wait for all the shoppers to get out of the way before you "plow" though the crowd????

My favorite part of your story is where you left out the screaming profanity part and the standing in the middle of the road.

That is because it is a threat. Mr. I'm a retired police officer is having a meltdown. Like I said before, the hatred is palpable. These people are unhinged. Good thing someone took this guys badge. Hopefully they took his gun too.
 
You surround my truck yelling and screaming profanities I'm gonna punch it.
You'd better check the rearview mirror before you do. Your rear bumper might be chained to a tree or something.

With a truck that weighs 5700 lbs has 400 horsepower and 400 ft. lbs. of torque it better be a damn strong chain,because when it snaps it's gonna fuck up a lot of protesters.
My husband said my Mercedes station wagon weighs about 3,000 lbs. I thought it weighed 4,000 lbs. I need to correct myself on that one. But my engine is very powerful the car is a very heavy car and has a lot of power to it. It's a tank. I bought it because it was so solid and dependable. I was going to get a Range Rover but decided I liked the wagon better. Next time I'll get a Range Rover with one of them deer bumper guards on the front. I'm going to buy me a bumper sticker that says I do not stop for protesters. They cannot say they were not warned.

Yeah,Mercedes are built like tanks.
The wife's 300 got rear ended by a Honda accord and it totaled the Accord while leaving the Benzs with minor bumper damage.
Yes, I have a 300 and I feel very safe in it. I'm not surprised the Accord was totaled. That was no match for a Benz. Your wife is in a great car. I plan on driving the wheels off of mine.

Oh she did. She put over 500,000 thousand miles on it before she got rid of it.
The funny part,when she traded it in a black dude took it for a test drive and never came back.:lmao:

People intentionally blocking traffic and threatening drivers and pedestrians are no longer "protesters." They are rioters. If a person feels threatened by an angry mob, they are within their rights to get out of a dangerous situation by any means necessary. Blocking traffic and impeding business and making the public feel threatened by your presence is not protected by the First Amendment.

Tennessee Passes Controversial Law Allowing Drivers to Injure Protesters Without Civil Liability | We Are Change
I don't agree with the web site or the writer of the article, but the news remains the same. If you decide to block the road while protesting, there are now consequences. This makes me happy.
U.S. Drivers Can Now 'Legally' Hit Protestors Standing In Their Way
Another place.

Apparently it means that the protestor can't sue you, but you can still face criminal charges.
Eliminate the criminal charges and I'll target those that deliberately block the streets.

I have 223,000 miles on mine and a mechanic told me I haven't even broken the engine in yet. It's a real cream puff. I love it. Newer is not better these days. My car is a keeper. I have strangers who literally come up to me asking me to sell them my car! I tell them it's not for sale and then they give me their phone number and say, if you ever want to sell it! Here's my number! I'm amazed that the guy stole the car on a test drive! Some folks just don't have any shame!

Simply blocking traffic does not make someone a rioter. If they are threatening people or damaging property, sure. I would think blocking traffic is illegal pretty much everywhere in the country, though.

The very definition of a riotous person is a lawless person, a person disturbing the peace, a trouble maker.

Look at the definition:

If you are blocking traffic illegally, pounding on people's cars and shouting and carrying on, blocking a car from moving, you are a rioter and a criminal. If you are acting in a manner which terrorizes people sitting inside of a car you are a terrorist in my opinion and you belong behind bars.

We had them put in the touring tank and she could go for a month without refills going back and forth to work.
We'd take road trips of 800 miles and not have to refill,the thing was a touring monster!!

Is it the five cylinder diesel? If so it'll run forever.
 
"Protesters" have been known to block freeways. Freeways which are fenced from general access. Freeways which usually have prominent signs at each entrance advising "NO BICYCLES". "NO PEDESTRIANS", in some jurisdictions citing the statute addressing the prohibition. So those protesters have violated the law and are committing a crime. Who's to blame when a criminal is accidentally killed WHILE COMMITTING A CRIME?
