Come on Georgia we need to pass something like this!

Tennessee Bill allows ramming protesters blocking road!


I've got a huge grill guard on my Silverado just dying to meet some hippies.

Here is the actual bill:

It does NOT authorize ramming protestors blocking the road.

Literary license was involved in link

Honestly it SHOULD authorize ramming. And backing up and doing again.

You want to protest? Fine. Stay on the side of the road.

Gotta love the selective support of the Bill of Rights around here.

We expect unlimited freedom to express our 2nd Amendment Rights, but let's trample and run over the ones who choose to express their 1st Amendment Rights.

There are limits...we know this.  Can't yell fire in a crowded theater, telling someone they can't protest in a highway isn't the same as telling them they can't protest.

The Second Amendment doesn't allow me to shoot whoever I think needs it, the First Amendment doesn't allow someone to interfere with another person's right to travel freely.

I agree with you but at the same time disagree with you.  When did "freedom of speech" become "freedom of expression" and authorization to block roads, burn down McDonalds and pull people out of their cars?

Their rights end where mine begin. A simplistic way of saying it but still true.

You can protest all you want. IDGAF. But you do not have the right to restrain my movement or travel. You don't have the right to block critical infrastructure. You don't have the right to keep emergency responders from well.. responding.

If you feel wronged and think protesting will help by all means PROTEST. Just don't involve me or mine in it. Don't form a mob and surround my vehicle and put my family in danger.

I feel the same way.  Your right to swing your fist ends just outside my nose and if your fist touches my nose, you deserve a ride to the pokey.

Your rights end when they start infringing on others so spare me the angst.

1A rights dont give you the right to endanger my life.  period.  walking / protesting / fucking whatever on the freeway or roadway endangers people lives including the motorist.  

no-way was I ever in favor or "free speech zones" but on the flip side there are places that have to be off-limits and the fucking interstate is one of them.

So you believe blocking an Interstate highway should be protected under the 1st Amendment?
