Protestors getting ran over by a car is truly a sad day. However, the sadness is not as great when climate protestors happen to get in the way of a moving vehicle. Chew on that bish azz chumps!

It's not as though this is allowed 100% of the time.

If current arrest rates lead to harsher consequences, you'll find tge effects to be rippling.

You should have prosecuted that bitch that smashed up your business the first time.

Semi related topic, do you believe the 94 crime bill was a net positive?

If the Feds can just come into places like Arkansas and Oklahoma and just steal guns and crack safes, then may as well live in California.

I can understand your position if you equate guns with death and murder. There are many who equate guns with sport and defense. Those characteristics are not antithetical to biblical principles.

I'm not sure how else to equate guns. Since there arent a lot of massage or karate chop related deaths. You can look to any type of excuse/reasoning you seek to justify things.

Here's what I know. Personal ownership, lawful and trained. Should be protected. And is.

Here's where I break. There are far too many ignorant, irresponsible, or mentally unstable people There are far too many guns, and a gun culture. Tennessee has taken that logic and run waay too far with it.

Churches should not in any way misconstrue the Word of God, to espouse or further their own ideology or human interpretation of the Bible. That is folly.

The biggest benefit of red state living is you can very openly act out your bigotry and receive police support for doing so.
In the below case, I think the officers actually wanted to do the right thing. But when you live in the town, what you want,
and what you have to do doesn't always mesh. In many red states, being accused is all that's needed to bigot and get away with it.

How would you feel if the church were to raffle an automobile?

5 INVESTIGATES State of Tennessee tells U.S. Navy veteran he's not an American citizen and cancels his driver's license

"Your father was a U.S. citizen?" We asked O'Connor.

"He was," he told me.

And I asked, "Your mother was a U.S. citizen?"

"She was," he replied.

And since both of his parents were U.S. citizens, and you can see that right there on his birth certificate, the law stated O'Connor is a U.S. citizen, too.

What this guy should do is just cross the southern border like everyone else.

White Americans own more guns, have greater legal access to guns (due to lower felony rates), and yet have a far lower homicide rate than black Americans.

Anyone looking at things honestly knows the problem isn’t guns

Yep. It’s a common thing in nearly all states that you have to prove you are a citizen or here legally.

If the reporter really wanted to help this man, instead of just trying for sensational headlines, she would’ve found the forms he needs (I listed them above).

I will say it is also a failure of the local dmv to explain to him what he needed. But no one is shocked by a dmv employee failing to provide appropriate customer service

That's been done. My wife actually won a, IIRC, 1980ish Toyota via a church raffle, then donated it a guy she felt needed it more than she did.

I have zero sympathy for anyone blocking public roadways for any reason. If they are run over, so be it.

For any reason, eh? Hmmmm. Next time I see that a center section of a road has collapsed, I won't stop my car, run back, and try to warn other drivers by standing in the road and wildly waving my arms. Though all but one driver stopped, as per your dictate, I will never, ever, not ever, do that again. Seriously not, it isn't really due to YOU, but the exhibited hatefulness of people today, I wouldn't trust drivers to even try to avoid hitting me, let alone stop. I'd take videos of the crashes with my phone, though.
