Former Oklahoma Governor rejects new bill

Former Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry is throwing his support behind an effort to reject a recently signed bill that seeks to crack down on protesters.

The former two-term Democrat described the bill as “ill-conceived” and “dangerous.”

The bill signed by Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt would grant motorists civil and criminal immunity if they kill or injure someone while fleeing from a riot.

The motorist would have immunity even if the person they killed wasn’t involved in the protest. A

group announced earlier this week it was launching a signature gathering effort to nullify the new law
