Oklahoma House passes bill to protect drivers who hit protesters
In a rare, early-morning vote, Republican lawmakers in the Oklahoma House approved legislation to grant immunity to drivers who hit protesters.
On a party-line vote Wednesday, the House passed a bill that grants civil and criminal immunity for drivers who unintentionally injure or kill protesters while “fleeing from a riot.”
On the one hand, this is probably a good law, and something like it is definitely needed. On the other hand - haven't seen a law yet that can't be grossly misapplied. Any TradAm gathering could easily find itself an unwitting participant in an impromptu Deathrace 2000 reenactment.
These articles about protesters blocking the road keep using that stupid word, "unintentionally". I'll start getting interested when it says "intentionally."
Any bag limits?
ReplyDeleteToo bad we don't have cars with real fenders anymore or you could strap 1 to each front fender like my day did with deer.
DeleteI just hope you don’t have to tag the smelly SOB’s!
DeleteOf course, with all the nose rings, shouldn’t be that hard.

For gosh sake, do they actually protest anything out in Oklahoma?

They did, a dually with horse trailer ran them over. Guess I have a new hunting season.
