POL Louisiana House Passes Bill Allowing You to Drive Into and Kill Protesters

Remember when liberals' heads exploded when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced new legislation that toughened penalties on those arrested during mostly peaceful protests and made it a third-degree felony for obstructing traffic, and making the driver not liable for injury or death “caused if fleeing for safety from a mob.” Libs claimed that DeSantis had given Florida the right to run down protesters with your car. Fortunately, he brought along Sheriff Grady Judd, who had visual aids for the media: photos of a peaceful protest and photos of a riot for those who couldn't tell the difference. As Twitchy reported, TV producer Andrew Kimmel called the tougher penalties “actual fascism.”


The legislation was there to protect people who were being pulled from their cars. We reported on Black Lives Matter protesters firing shots at drivers who tried to skirt their makeshift roadblocks.

Now the Louisiana House has passed similar legislation, and it's causing another leftist meltdown.

House votes 69-29 for Rep. Jay Galle bill saying driver can't be sued for causing injury, death, damage by driving into a crowd illegally blocking roadway if the driver feels "in immediate danger of imminent death, bodily injury or serious bodily harm." HB383 to Senate. #lalege

Louisiana House passes a measure that permits people to drive into protests, even kill people, without legal repercussions. Imagine the Charlottesville United the Right Rally with more deaths like Heather Heyer's & the drivers just smiling & going on their way. https://t.co/BIrbtmPrBi

Yes, the far-right would just be plowing down progressive protesters left and right and getting away with it.

Is this like the Florida law that when protesters surround your car and start beating on it, you can drive away without jeopardy? Yes, it is. Good. We need more of these.

I guess will see less protesters blocking traffic.

You play you pay.

My usual response to a perceived threat is to use what's readily at hand; if I'm driving, figure out what's going to happen.

Display anything construed as a weapon while advancing on me or impeding my exit?

Yup, body work will be an outcome.
Our car weighs about 3500 lbs and DW's truck is about 5800. Simple math really.

Louisiana finally has a good governor, and he's not letting the grass grow under his feet. Now if New Orleans could get rid of the POS mayor they have, and unfortunately some of the other larger cities in Louisiana are in the same shape major wise.

If I still had my truck, I'd mount a serious brush guard on the front. Maybe even a snow plow. Oh wait, that would look silly in Louisiana and Florida.

I beg to differ…Louisiana’s state motto is….Sportsman’s Paradise !! How very sporting our new “guvnah“ is. You might need that brush guard to get to your duck blind or deer stand.
