Watch Drivers MOW DOWN Trump Protesters (video)

Have you seen videos where protesters get mowed down by people trying to get to work or to their homes. Yet these Leftist goons block their paths.

Those days may be over, if a new Tennessee bill passes.

As New 9 reports,

A new Tennessee bill addresses protesters who block traffic. Under the proposal, if a person is blocking traffic during a protest or demonstration – and a driver hits them, the protester would not be able to sue the driver in civil court for any injuries. The bill says a driver would not be immune from civil liability – if the actions leading up to injuries were willful.

Senator Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro) introduced the bill and said in a statement, “We believe that citizens have the right to protest. There is a procedure for peaceful protests and the purpose of that process is to protect the safety of our citizens. Protestors have no right to be in the middle of the road or our highways for their own safety and the safety of the traveling public.”

Representative Matthew Hill (R–Jonesborough) sponsored the bill, and issued a statement saying, “We are not endorsing anyone running over a person with a car, whether it is protestors or anyone else. If someone intentionally harms a person, they are going to be charged with a crime, period. There is a clear difference, however, between peacefully protesting and lawless rioters in the middle of a public roadway who jeopardize the safety of our families. This is a public safety bill that is meant to protect everyone’s right to peacefully protest and I look forward to seeing this commonsense legislation passed into law.”

Leftists are discouraged by the bill, as this woman suggests.

“It’s part of being involved,” said Katie Jacobs. “It’s part of being a citizen.”

Jacobs calls the bill discouraging.

“Oh you’re protesting so it’s your fault if you get hurt,” said Jacobs. “I feel like that’s the attitude some people would take. And that’s not the direction we want to go in.”

The argument is this bill will hinder one’s right to protest. This is patently ridiculous.

As the President of the Chattanooga Tea party Mark West explained, “When we [the tea party] protested, we never blocked traffic.”

For him and many others, the bill comes down to law enforcement.

“It’s already a violation of the law to obstruct traffic and obstruct highways,” said Mark West. “When they’re doing that, we shouldn’t have citizens confront citizens. We should have law enforcement confront the violators of the law.”

The bill comes after Metro Nashville Police investigated claims of a man driving into protesters last month. Stay out of the thoroughfares, and you won’t be hit by a car.

These protesters lose their rights, when they impede normal driver activities. How many times did Black Lives Matter take to the freeways to block traffic. Then what of Occupy Wall Street who did the same in cities all over America.

Neither of these groups had cause to protest, yet they did. But where the country draws the line is when the lives of ordinary citizens are disrupted.
