Just when you think the 4th Reich of the Republican party can't get any worse. Arizona comes up with this law. It's to oppress free speech in this country. Protesters can now be arrested and their property seized if a protest turns violent, even though they may not be involved in the violence.
"Arizona’s police officers will be able to arrest and seize the assets of any protest attendee, even before any crime or riot has taken place, under a new law voted through by state senators on Wednesday.
The legislation was originally established for racketeering but was expanded in definition to include rioting, allowing for the prosecution of everyone planned or participated in a protest that turns violent.
Democrats have criticized the bill, which allows demonstrators to be arrested and have their property seized. The legislation does not require discrimination as to who may have, for example, thrown a punch in a crowd or broken a window. As soon as a riotous action has occurred, all protesters are deemed broadly associated and therefore guilty.
Further to that, due to processes afforded authorities who investigate racketeering and the renewed definition of rioting, police are permitted to preemptively arrest those planning a protest."
New Arizona 'riot' law lets police arrest peaceful protesters—and seize their property
The 4th Reich of the Republican party is in full swing with Trump in office. Make certain they pay hell for it in 2018 and 2020.
Do you think this is directly aimed at your Fuhrer, Herr Soros?
Using racketeering laws against the rent a mob activities of you fascist thugs?
If there's protesters being paid someone is blowing trillions on it--LOL
This is the woman's march the day after the inauguration, if you want to see what was going on in your home state go to this link. (They were in the millions.)
Woman's march pictures
I really don't think someone is paying all these people $10 bucks an hour to protest--LOL
They're not paid they're PISSED.
BINGO
This is the closest thing America has had to a fascist dictator in charge, and people are SURPRISED that protests are so virulent?
And what a shock that they want laws to crack down on it. Fuck anyone who opposes protest.
I disagree with your assessment of Trump. I think you're way overreacting. Try to lay off the Democrat hate propaganda. But these laws do serve to intimidate Citizens into reconsidering protesting. They are wrong. This one should be vigorously challenged and overturned.
This isn't partisan. When has a president openly called into question the legitimacy of a federal judge for overturning his executive order? For that matter, when's the last time a president trampled all over the constitution with something on the order of a Muslim ban? I'll tell you when, it was FDR, and I'd agree with anyone who said he overstretched his executive power to the point of a dictatorship.
Difference was, FDR had a genuine national crisis to serve as an excuse.
Trump does not. If Iran bombs us, how quickly do you think he'll throw on the dictator sunglasses, and how fast will we all assent to his rule? I'd say pretty fast. That's the REAL concern here.
