Anyone remember not too long ago when people on the right tried to make it legal to do what this driver did?
In North Dakota, it could become legal to hit a protester with your car
Kind of makes you think..
No, but I do remember when you tried to use this incident as an example of what you think bills like that really mean.
The key phrases in that bill are "unintentional" and "exercise due care."
It's not a blank check to run over protesters. Neither is the North Carolina bill.
I didn't mean it's a blank check to run over people. A lawyer could spin this as unintentional and the guy could probably get off under the right circumstances if that bill went through.
I'm more concerned with the precedent a bill like that sets.
A lawyer can spin anything into anything.
You said:and that is categorically false.

Still no problems in Europe. Don't be Islamophobic. If you don't want to die, you're living in fear.
Don't jump to collusions people. Probably just an Amish extremist fed up with folks using electricity.

Did you read what you just posted?
It doesn't make it legal to intentionally plow over protesters. Now are you gonna continue to derail the thread with your lies, or grow up and admit you're wrong?

Still lying. It's to keep people from getting sued if they accidentally run over some scumbag's foot while they're rioting and damaging your car. Stop being willfully ignorant. You KNOW that line you're pushing is bogus. Stop making a fool of yourself.
The problem is that every time something like this happens, it escalates.
Now what will the other side feel justified in doing because of some idiot in a car?

As opposed to everything that happens is because of racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.?
You guys invented it. Hell, according to the left, everything about the nation is a fabric of racism and sexism created by a bunch of old, dead white slave owners, so that if you aren't white, male, and Christian yourself, you will never, ever get ahead in this nation, so it HAS to be destroyed. Everything that goes wrong is attributable to some form of that.
Welcome to modern academia.
Since early colonial times, and until just a few decades ago, virtually all Whites believed race was a fundamental aspect of individual and group identity. They believed people of different races had different temperaments and abilities, and built markedly different societies. They believed that only people of European stock could maintain a society in which they would wish to live, and they strongly opposed miscegenation. For more than 300 years, therefore, American policy reflected a consensus on race that was the very opposite of what prevails today.
Those who would impute egalitarianism to the Founders should recall that in 1776, the year of the Declaration, race slavery was already more than 150 years old in North America and was practiced throughout the New World, from Canada to Chile.[2] In 1770, 40 percent of White households in Manhattan owned Black slaves, and there were more slaves in the colony of New York than in Georgia.[3] It was true that many of the Founders considered slavery a terrible injustice and hoped to abolish it, but they meant to expel the freed slaves from the United States, not to live with them in equality.

That is a possibility. Just have to wonder how he got there so innocently and why the police weren't in control of public safety.
