I hope they don't block traffic. I don't know if any passed, but a few places were trying to make it legal to run over protestors blocking traffic. That would sure be a shame if they had to find out.
They're going to block traffic with their trucks and police are going to protect them.
This is it. The police will absolutely not apply the laws evenly here.
Florida made that legal.
Oklahoma too. Possibly others as well.
OK is never okay.
Texas Governor Abbott pardoned a guy who straight up shot a white BLM protester while he was pushing his black wheelchair bound girlfriend.
Said shooter also turned out to be a serial child rapist, but... didn't matter. He got out anyway.
I'll never understand how a serial child rapist is ever "out" to do any further crimes. They shouldn't even be breathing.
Let's not go down that route, capital punishment is a barbaric mistake from a societal standpoint
I'd settle for keeping them imprisoned.
When you've got friends in the governor's mansion...
