Oklahoma governor signs bill to protect drivers who hit rioters, as protesters try breaking into Senate
Fox News
Protesters angry about a bill cracking down on demonstrations barged into the Oklahoma legislature Wednesday as the House was in session.
Some protesters got into verbal altercations with lawmakers. "You are a f--king disgrace to the whole country!" one shouted towards the legislators. The group then tried to get into the Senate chamber, which had locked its doors. The group was protesting, in part, a bill that increases the penalties for blocking roadways and grants immunity to motorists who kill or injure protesters on the road. Another bill seeks to limit doxxing of police officers. The bill passed in a 38-10 vote in the Senate and now heads to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt’s desk. The bill would make blocking use of a public street a misdemeanor publishable by up to a year in prison or a $5,000 fine. The measure would also grant a motorist criminal and civil immunity if they kill or injure someone while fleeing from a riot.More Related News
