Urgent: Protect protesters

vendredi 18 août 2017 à 02:00

Everyone: call on North Carolina not to protect drivers that hit protesters with their cars.

The proposed law explicitly protects drivers that hit protesters "accidentally", but removing drivers' usual legal obligation to take care not to hit anyone would encourage drivers to drive in risky ways, killing people "accidentally on purpose". Not to mention the temptation to hit protesters intentionally and then pretend it was an accident.
