This straight up sounds anti-first Amendment. You can't get more anti-free speech than allowing people to ram into protestors.

 

[Choppasmith]

I remember this came a few months ago. I remember reading it on Facebook and my half brother cheered at the idea because he really hates liberals/democrats. He eventually blocked me on Facebook because I called him out on a dumb picture he was sharing. I shudder to think what's going through his mind with the latest events unfolding.

 

[Moppeh]

It is kind of amazing how openly fucked up Republicans can be in America.

If a Conservative tried this in Canada, they would be eviscerated.

 

[Dhx]

Who do you think are 'obsctructing traffic'? The BLM and #NODAPL protests for once and they so happen to be people of color protesting against their oppression.

I don't really care who it is obstructing traffic as that wasn't my point. I'm looking at the actual text of the legislation and that is the sole basis of my judgement.

 

[rjinaz]

Doing what their base wants.

and what they want.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

so everyone liked to say america had gone mad when GWB was in charge, but that was a bit over done..

I think you did it this time guys...

 

[Loxley]

The only that's gotten anywhere so far is North Carolina, where the House of Representatives passed it in April

Why am I not fucking surprised.

 

[Wilsongt]

"maybe if protestors weren't in the middle of the road they wouldn't be hit. Make it illegal to block traffic!"

That is their line of thinking. If someone is in the road and a car hits them, they pretty muched deserved it and should have been working instead or protestinf, anyway.

What we consider "conservative" up in Canada is probably closer to liberal in the US.

 

[Zombie James]

Republicans protecting and promoting terrorism. Who woulda thunk it?

And in America, mainstream news will insist on hearing from both sides of the issue because the "pro-running over protesters" argument should have an audience as well.

Local elections matter. Midterm elections matter. 50 state strategy or bust. People are suffering NOW.

But dumb fucks want to be idealistic and tout their progressiveness so much so that they're willing to forego any of it in lieu of obstruction via someone like Trump or voting for anyone but the most liberal candidate because that candidate is not a 1-to-1 match of their ideals.

Fuck out of here.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

WTFS... i didnt believe it until i clicked the bill links and seen the words for myself. ......................

When Fox news justified BLM just for the smidge to vouch for Nazis. Why the fuck is this tolerated? Why do :some LIBERALS champion this form of 'free speech'?

 

[Finalizer]

we've got all the best republicans, fantastic republicans

 

[Wyndstryker]

America is fully going the baddie route. Might even make China and Russia look like saints at this rate

 

[Jotaka]

 

[TalonJH]

These bills were one of the 1st things I thought of after things calmed down yesterday.

 

[Malyse]

The fact is that they are more interested in legislation to protect white people than minorities. There's a reason opioid abuse is suddenly a crisis.

 

[Moppeh]

True, but we still have a fair share of shit stains in the Conservative Party.

I just find it fascinating that Republicans get away with being so regressive and blatantly evil.

Seeing shit like this makes me feel very fortunate for being Canadian.

And in America, mainstream news will insist on hearing from both sides of the issue because the "pro-running over protesters" argument should have an audience as well.

Yeah, that's a damn shame. Our news media isn't perfect either, but at least they don't empower this sort of shit.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Like, why the fuck would you even consider the idea of making it a right to hit people with your car under any circumstance?

What the fuck is with these people?

You should know by now exactly what the fuck these people are for.

 

[Triple Dash]

There's no dialogue to be had here, this is an obvious ploy to save face among GOP diehard supporters. This is no different than Trump's new immigration plan. They know it's stupid and will be dead on arrival.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

But guys! Trump retweeted a news story about the driver!

 

[MKIL65]

Might as well remove traffic lights around protest areas.

They would only serve as a distraction, right?

 

[davepoobond]

Why am I not fucking surprised.

North Carolina is like the evil laboratory of new conservative laws

 

[travisbickle]

First rule of driving: don't run people over.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

I don't really care who it is obstructing traffic as that wasn't my point. I'm looking at the actual text of the legislation and that is the sole basis of my judgement.

And what a myopic, poor judgement it is.

 

[BlueDevil]

North Carolina? fucking lol!

I love the Triangle but i hate the rest of the state. Either way, not surprised in the slightest given how toxic the republicans here are

 

[The Maverick]

I don't really care who it is obstructing traffic as that wasn't my point. I'm looking at the actual text of the legislation and that is the sole basis of my judgement.

So you don't care about context. OK. And you don't see how these bills are intentionally vague and can be interpreted to mean anything. OK. I suppose it's only a coincidence that these proposals are Republican exclusive.

 

[TalonJH]

You wonder how this even exists in real life.

The you read a YouTube comment like:



And remember that these people can vote.

Then again, he only crashed because he couldn't see the stationary cars through the hundreds of people he intended to murder to "escape", despite the street behinx him being empty before he decided to ram a crowd....you would have reacted the same way if you're homes with yourself.

I've been seeing this a lot. He wasn't surrounded as they like to think.

This is him speeding into the crowd.

They need to get over the fact that he is not a victim.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Aren't these the same people who always screamed 'but small government' when discussing things that actually benefit people?

They only scream small government when they don't have control. They have no principals they are basically children that throw a temper tantrum whenever things don't go there way because they are massive cowards.

 

[Ekai]

Drumpf and republicans are the biggest threat to America. And everyone's wary of NK.

Republicans have been the biggest threat to this country for decades.

 

[AuthenticM]

Don't normalize the Republican party.

 

[Strike]

Yeah. Conservatives have been

Spoiler

half-

joking about doing that to BLM protesters for years.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

This picture alone is damning.

Yet people will call this recorded live news scene fake news because they are fucking idiots that think technology is magic.

I mean, if you look closely, you can see the pickup truck that was near the cash, and people between them. No one behind him. If those cars weren't there, he would have just plowed threw more people. He sped into this group. No excuse.

 

[Kebiinu]

..This is him speeding into the crowd.

Horrifying.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

GOP needs safe space, safe platform, and safe automobiles to attack the under represented.

 

[Jarmel]

Of course it had to be North Carolina.

 

[LakeEarth]

Wouldn't this include all protesters, say those anti-abortion people I see outside of the hospital every day?

 

[AmayaPapaya]

How much longer till we bring back the Pinkertons?

 

[cdyhybrid]

1) Of course it's North Carolina.

2) This is why I don't give any of the GOP clowns condemning Charlottesville any credit. When push comes to shove they'll take those white supremacist votes every time.
