OK legislation

I am sure that there are some very nice people in Oklahoma.
Then there are the OK legislators . . . .
And my brother . . . .

People have no business standing in the middle of the roadway for any reason, especially protesting. That can be done just as easily and effectively from the side of the road or in a park.

I hope I never have to face that decision. It would be very difficult, and I can honestly say that I don't know what I would do until faced with it.

I am for the protection of the drivers that would otherwise be raped, killed, or physically assaulted by the protestors.

On the other hand, as the driver, I would have a hard time making that decision, especially if I was alone in the vehicle. Even if I had all of my family, and I was facing a group of young people chained with PVC pipe gloves across the highway, I would still hesitate.

I know for certain that my vehicle can withstand damage, and I will live. The problem is what if they decide to burn the vehicle? HOw long do I wait until I know for certain they are going to try to kill me vs just cause damage to my property?

I know that in states like OK, TX, FL, and many others, protecting your property is your legal right. I personally would allow my property to get damaged to save the idiots life, if I knew for sure that is where it would end.

There are so many variables, I honestly don't know how to handle it and pray that God will not allow me to be in a situation that I have to make that decision.

Same goes for the gun I carry. I hope I never have to use it.
