A person should not be protected from the consequences of hitting someone with a car so I hope those bills, or those parts of bills, fall to pass but those that block roads illegally should face stiffer consequences.

Disgusting. If this were the racists getting hit and killed, these fuckers would be CRYING FOR BLOOD. Fuck them all.

Exactly! As soon as it was some racist piece of shit getting hit, even by accident, it would be a major news cause in the opposite direction. It's unbelievable how evil this is.
