'Common-Sense Legislation' Would Shield Drivers Who Run Over Protesters

'Common-Sense Legislation' Would Shield Drivers Who Run Over Protesters
The bill would apply only to unintentional maiming of activists.

Drivers who run into protesters would be protected from lawsuits under new proposed legislation in Tennessee.

The bill offered by a pair of Republicans would apply only to instances in which drivers are “exercising due care” when they strike someone “participating in a protest or demonstration” that is “blocking traffic in a public right-of-way.”
