NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) â A bill in Tennessee would make obstructing a highway a felony. It would also grant immunity to drivers who unintentionally injure or kill someone blocking a highway.
That would include protesters who illegally block roadways.
Under HB 513, if a driver âwho is exercising due careâ unintentionally injures or kills someone blocking a highway, the driver would be immune from prosecution for the injury or death.
The House Criminal Justice Committee was scheduled to take the legislation on Wednesday.
The bill would upgrade the offense of obstructing a highway or street from a Class B or C misdemeanor to a Class E felony. It would also apply to obstructing a railway, waterway, hallway âor any other place used for the passage of persons, vehicles or conveyances.â
Class E felonies are punishable by up to six years in prison. The bill would also impose a mandatory $3,000 fine.
The Senate version of the bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Kinda reminds me of George Wallace.
With the woke BLM/Antifa groups that surround cars and beat on them, hoping to scare or attack the drivers, this sounds like a justified response.
Drivers who successfully hit leftists blocking the roadway should get a bounty.

I think they have self-defense anyway. Not that liberal prosecutors care.
Any money for intentionally hitting them? Asking for a friend.
No bounty. Consider that any bounty proposed must be offset by a fine for leaving trash in the street - littering!
I dunno, cleaning out vermin is a public service.
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. Do I put on a heavy duty cattle guard? How bout a airport sized snow blade? Or would a nice chipper be better?
Unfortunately you’re correct. And not only don’t the liberal prosecutors don’t care, neither does the corrupt media.
Sounds good, but it isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
If you fear for your life and floor it with people in front
of your car, there isn’t a Leftist DA who won’t throw the
book at you.
Remember, these will be leftists blocking these venues.
My dad was in Vietnam when he voted for Wallace. Reason being, Wallace said if some hippy laid down in front of his vehicle, he’d put it in drive.
“Drivers who successfully hit leftists blocking the roadway should get a bounty.”
And Frankenstein scores the first kill in Death Race 2021.
so it’s like DEATH RACE 2000 without the money? Kewl
Unless a bankshot puts the leftist into a nearby dumpster.
Florida is doing similar, based on a public request from our awesome gov, Ron Desantis.
“...there isn’t a Leftist DA who won’t throw the
book at you.”
Good point. Orlando/Disney now has Monica Worrel as DA, a soros puppet. Hit oneonI4 and no doubt she’ll go after you bigtime.
Death Race 2000! Can’t wait!!!
