Last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, a 32-year-old woman was killed and 19 wounded when James Field, an avowed neo-Nazi, plowed his car into a crowd protesting a white supremacist rally.

Just as President Trump shielded white nationalists from specific criticism in his initial remarks about the event, six Republican lawmakers in various states are trying to protect drivers who hit protesters with their cars, ThinkProgress reports.

In January, two Republican lawmakers in North Dakota introduced a bill that would protect motorists who hit protesters blocking traffic, as long as it was unintentional. State Rep. Keith Kempenich claimed he introduced the legislation after his mother was swarmed on a road by people protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline.

“A driver of a motor vehicle who negligently causes injury or death to an individual obstructing vehicular traffic on a public road, street, or highway may not be held liable for any damages,” the bill read.

It failed 41-50 in the state Senate but turned out to be the first in a spate of similar bills.

In March, Tennessee lawmakers proposed exempting motorists from civil liability after a driver ran into safety workers at a rally protesting President Trump's travel ban. That failed in a state House committee.

In April, the North Carolina House passed a bill 61-48 that would protect drivers from charges if they hit motorists, as long as they exhibited "due care." It was in response to a Black Lives Matter rally protesting a police shooting.

Lawmakers in Florida, Rhode Island and Texas have considered similar bills. http://www.metro.us/news/politics/gop-politicians-drivers-protesters-hit-by-car

 

Here's a news flash. Roads are for motor vehicles. Sidewalks are for pedestrians.

 

Newsflash - intentionally running someone over is a crime.

 

So is blocking traffic by standing in the middle of the road like a dumb ass.

 

All this justified making it legal to run them over and kill them?

 

If the ass holes are that stupid, they should be.

 

So basically what these laws state is that its not necessary to be in control of your vehicle

 

How long before someone passes a law saying it is only murder if you load the bullets yourself ???

 

It's only murder if you kill a non liberal...

 

Do you know cunt, that Islamic terrorists use the same justification for their heinous crimes, anyone but their own is a fair target!

You are a real bottom feeder!!

Thinskin

 

Hmm. I wonder if Isis does freelance work? If so, could we defuct the cost as a political donation?

 

mmm
I'm thinking

I think it is time the rest of the world banned immigrants and tourists from the United States of America.

They seem to be becoming far to deranged and dangerous.

 

Chappelle-Nadal later explained that she didn't actually wish harm to come to Trump but wrote it out of frustration.

“I didn’t mean what I put up. Absolutely not,” Chappelle-Nadal told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “It was in response to the concerns that I am hearing from residents of St. Louis.”

“There are people who are afraid of white supremacists,” she added. “There are people who are having nightmares. There are people who are afraid of going out in the streets. It’s worse than even Ferguson.”

Though the senator quickly deleted the comment, an image of the statement swept social media, catching the attention of the Secret Service and prompting calls for her to step down.

The Secret Service said it is “looking into the comments,” adding that all threats made against the president, vice president and other protected people are investigated, whether the threats are direct, implied or made in passing, according to the Associated Press.

Much like when comedian Kathy Griffin released a video and photo of her holding a mask made in the image of Trump’s bloody severed head, a backlash soon came.

On Friday Republican Gov. Eric Greitens weighed in on Twitter, saying that if Chappelle-Nadal will not resign, the state senate can vote to remove her.

“I believe we should,” he said.




His comments follow condemnation and similar appeals for Chappelle-Nadal's resignation from Democrats, including U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), who said that Chappelle-Nadal is “an embarrassment to our state,” according to the Post-Dispatch.

Right, and that's why you won't apologize, right, bitch?

 

What part of "as long as it was unintentional" doesn't sink into your oatmeal fucking brain, dipshit? Do you remember when the fucking libturds wandered out onto the highway in California without even FUCKING LOOKING and one got hit by a car. I'll bet that fucking libturd idiot and his lawyer are probably suing the motorist who didn't expect a fucking idiot libturd to just wander out into the middle of traffic.

 

What they're saying is if you fucking libturds insist on wandering out into the middle of busy freeways without looking out for yourselves, it's not the driver's fault when you dart out in front of their car.

Fucking dipshit idiots who think it's everyone else's responsibility to look out for you when you're being dipshit fucking idiots.

You douchebags never want to take responsibility for your own actions!!!

 

Amazing.
Shooter read the entire damn thread.
Minutes he can never recover.
