Lawmakers file bill making some drivers immune to civil liability if protesters injured

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) -A Tennessee Senator has filed legislation which would make the driver of a vehicle immune to civil liability if they hit a protester.

SB944 was filed by Sen. Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro) on Thursday in the Senate. In the House, Rep. Matthew Hill filed the same legislation as sponsor.

The bill states: "A person driving an automobile who is exercising due care and injures another person who is participating in a protest or demonstration and is blocking traffic in a public right-of-way is immune from civil liability for such injury."

Unfortunately this kind of law might be the only way to protect our Republic. These violent protestors are nothing more than Marxists Totalitarians. They need to be arrested and put in jail.
Anyone notice how violent things are right now? They were sure Hillary would win and take over the reigns of power. When she didn't this is their response?
I am 60 years old and remember the turbulent 60's but this is something very different.
I saw Betsy DeVos leave the DC School on the news. She looked terrified. I would be as well.
For all you democrats/liberals out there - do you realize what you are even doing?
We will beat you down though. Our Republic has fought many battles - you are simply one more.
Shame, pity.

If the rolls were reversed and it was us protesting Hillary's win you might find this as mean spirited and vile as I do. Arrest them if they block the road or get out of line. The people who wrote this bill are Illuminati scum who are just dying to see a major event start a civil war. If Hillary had won I would be doing a lot worse than these kids in the street now. More and more are waking up to what the Liberal agenda is because the media spin has become too transparent. Just stand true to your convictions, but be kind to those who disagree. You will not have to beat them if they join you, and their is only so long the media's "Trump Nazi" narrative can go if we are the ones acting calm and respectful.

Sounds good. They try and block me and I will panic. I'm 5-4 and not even 120lbs and I don't like mobs. If they try to block me their families will shortly be meeting with funeral homes and I wouldn't feel one bit guilty about it.

A protest is fine, BUT blocking roads, arson, assault, destruction of property is crossing the line and is no longer a protest it is a riot . And all should be locked up and fined and have to pay for the damage that they do.
