'The driver of that truck had his family in there, and they were scared to death,' said one Oklahoma Republican who authored a bill which provides full immunity to motorists who hit demonstrators on roadways.

last week passed an"intimidation" bill which grants immunity to drivers who hit protesters. Two additional pending proposals would make blocking a roadway a felony and allow state prosecutors to charge participants in"unlawful assemblies" under racketeering and organized crime statutes.

"The driver of that truck had his family in there, and they were scared to death," McDugle added, highlighting a July incident in which a pickup truck plowed into aprotester that had spilled onto Interstate 244 in Tulsa. One man was left paralyzed from the incident.

Good. Threaten a family in a car with a mob, you get whats comming for you.

Hey SanctityOfLife caucus

Anti-protest laws you don’t believe in the constitution anymore ?

A license to kill that’s the ticket. You republicans are nuts.

Republicans would have been anti-Revolutionary during the 1770's.

That 1A is just for some it seems. Stop pretending we follow the constitution

Again...Constitutionally protected. Republicans are so anti-Constitutional.

What is this? Death Race 2000?

No...no...no!

Howell1Loretta So if I see Proud Boys or white nationalists protesting, I can run them over with my car and avoid prosecution?

You had hundreds of people on the highways at time trying to stop them and take over their trucks. They were looking for physical harm. I would run them over to

They are savage for this one

I keep telling everyone that the GOP is looking to start a Civil War ... Don't they remember the song The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down'

Fascists got to be fascists.

Surely they’ll include an exception for mob insurgents acting on behalf of Trump and his wing nut supporters ? How else could they continue their plans to invade state capital buildings ?

Republicans are showing their evilness each and every day. Why would you try to enact a law that would protect drivers who purposely hit demonstrators? My parents would say when you dig a ditch for someone, be sure to dig two, one for yourself as well.

Awesome idea GovKemp, need to follow these great examples.

I thought peaceful protests were constitutionally guaranteed

Hell yes

Yeah sure. Until it's them doing the protesting. Republicans gold standard is double standards.

Protect drivers who hit demonstrators, rioters, insurrectionists - two sides of FakeUnited can 'play that game'. GOP

The GQP is a terrorist organization.

What?

🤮

How can such a party be a representative for the welfare of citizens? To me and what I followed it caters for criminals, hypocrites, airheads and liars.

Did someone say “Ramming Speed”?

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge or deprive any person of life... the 14th amendment

RepublicanParty definitely are WICKED AF! STEADILY trying to strip Americans of their legal rights🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Beware! Laws also protect Dems...it may comeback to bite you...

Wtf why there is so much hate on the Republicans side.

When the slope isn't slippery enough...add water. Wait until it's protesters whining about another Confederate statue coming down.

They prove one thing...if you let them talk, they will tell you all you need to know about themselves.

Yay

Good. How about reparations for the dents that looters, I mean protesters leave on front bumper?

The GOP is an organization of domestic terrorists.

interesting perspective!? hmm

I still remember republicans being pro police then they KILLED one in the capitol. Yes that happened last month.

R’s - we need to make it harder to vote, and legal to run over protestors. Unless they’re our protestors... or our voters for that matter... Also R’s - wait, what do you mean we’re a bunch of fascists?

This will backfire.

Demonstrators wouldn't be blocking traffic

On brand.. true idiots.

When U.S. conservatives blamed China for the global COVID-19 pandemic, Beijing, Democratic Party, MSM went on the offensive, unleashing a massive disinformation campaign to shift blame to America & Trump, labeling anything not inline with CCP as conspiracy theory discrediting it.

Fabulous. Lemme know when the next MAGA demonstration begins.
