Running over protesters on roadways could soon be legal in North Dakota

Add to that law that if someone dies because you deliberately blocked a roadway for a protest or illegal action (ie not because you were involved in an accident) you automatically get a manslaughter charge, if not more.

“, a distinction like that would make the law unconstitutional. Just don’t block the roadways, no matter how important you think your cause is.”

That makes sense.

It’s morally wrong to block roads and delay ambulances carrying persons in need of critical medical care, too. That’s exactly what these idiots are doing. If this is what it takes to get asshats to stop blocking roads, then so be it.

It already is a Federal crime to block an interstate.

This is awesome! Thanks for posting it.

The word “unintentionally” should be deleted.

[HerrBlucher]

Agreed, manslaughter and commensurate jail time.

[mykroar]

Anyone standing in the roadway is to blame for the accident.

I work liability injury claims - if only.

I would make sure that your vehicle doesn’t disable itself if the airbags deploy.

Thinking ahead. Very Nice.

God forbid anyone should intentionally swerve to injure a "protester" but I think this defiantly falls under play stupid games win stupid prizes category.

[Arthur McGowan]

Those who block roads have murdered people—such as those in ambulances. Laws which will assist in stamping out the practice of blocking roads are to be applauded.

Hopefully Trump will see to it that it gets enforced because I have not heard about anyone going to jail for it. Should be a minimum 6 months in the slammer.

[Secret Agent Man]

Well if the ultimate goal is to get out of the mob death danger area, you gotta know that. If you have an older vehicle with no airbags, not an issue. But today if you’re going over 20mph your front bags could deploy, and may render your vehicle disabled. And then you better have a shotgun and a pistol and 5-6 magazines.
