A new bill has just passed the NC House that would allow North Carolina drivers to legally hit protesters who are blocking the road without being sued, as long as they “exercise due care.”
North Carolina House Bill 330 was passed by a 67-48 vote.
It was introduced by Republican Justin Burr and “provides that a person driving an automobile while exercising due care is immune for civil liability for any injury to another if the injured person was participating in a demonstration or protest and blocking traffic.”
“As we’ve seen, time and time again, as folks run out in the middle of the streets and the interstates in Charlotte and attempt to block traffic,” Burr said. The Republican commented that he wants to ensure that “drivers don’t have to fear driving through Charlotte or anywhere in North Carolina.”
“This bill does not allow for the driver of a vehicle to target protesters intentionally,” he added. “It does protect individuals who are rightfully trying to drive down the road.”
Charlotte saw a number of roads blocked after the death of Keith Lamont Scott and the protests that followed last year.
The bill is now heading to the NC Senate for final approval.
What do you think about the new law?
A Ram 2500 4x4 Cummins, with a cattle guard, mudders.

Do you recognize the scene ?
One of the “Death Race” movies?
Point values (YouTube) Snowflakes and SJWs can be 500 each!!)
Is that from an old National Geographic?
“So, it’s all good as long as you’re not burning rubber!”
No, actually you can burn rubber. This law only protects you if they run right out in front of you and you couldn’t stop or miss them because they didn’t give you enough time and room.. If they are standing in front of you, and they are blocking the road, you have the right to drive around them, go another way, or wait until they are arrested. You can’t just nail them.
And this opens up a lot of questions as to can they step in front of you if you swerve to miss them? Hows much action do you have to take before they did the stupid and jumped in there by the law’s interpretation? It’s a crap shoot of legal eagles and how they feel that day.

Not just one, but the original. Death Race 2000. Sylvester Stallone, David Carradine starred.
A waste of two perfectly good 59 Caddy’s.
“He scored his own mechanic!”
OMG that would be more fun than anything ever in the history of fun!
Lmao. Road rage much? You go girl!
Yes, if my car got surrounded by the fascist thugs and they were beating on my windows, I would gun it and say I feared for my life. Screw them, you cannot reason with an irrational mob.
Road term abortion.
Ok so 3 grand for the sand rail
1250 for the 350 in it.
another grand for the beefed up tranny and another grand for the suspension.
20 cases of beer for the welding parties.
500 for the spikes
400 bucks for the earl schieb paint job.
Labor and profit of course.
15 grand for a Freeper Mobile.
Quite the grocery getter.
Be reasonable...there should be some reward for what is obviously a community service.
Actually, it was euthanasia day at the geriatric ward. Even though old people are worth the most points, at the last second, Frankenstein (David Caradine), swerved to the right, went down the sidewalk, and took out a bunch of doctors and nurses instead. Less points, but he thought they were starting to get to cocky.
