Protesters Blocking Traffic Could Be Charged With 'Domestic Terrorism'

[Thinker101]

New York Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato, a Democrat from Queens, recently introduced a bill that aims to make it a felony to deliberately block traffic in the state.

The assemblywoman's bill aims to change state law to make such stunts a "domestic act of terrorism" and make it a Class D felony to intentionally block public roads, bridges, transportation facilities or tunnels in New York, according to a copy of the legislation. The measure is co-sponsored by Assemblyman Sam Berger, who is also a Democrat from Queens.

Apparently, protesting is no longer a "freedom of expression". Interesting how things change under their watch.

Blocking traffic is "freedom of expression?"

Sure seemed to be the case when BLM was doing it.

If you're a left wing, Jew hating college student blocking the streets around DC especially near the Capitol Building then you're an insurrectionist just like Trump's Jan6 demonstrators. Turn yourselves in to the FBI and make it right.

Erosion of the first amendment is bad.

Wonder if this would apply to BLM?

 

[Dekster]

Probably won't pass but I am sure it will have exceptions.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Blocking traffic and commerce is not a first amendment issue.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Nobody has time for those ninnies

 

[Resnic]

Could be?

It should be.

Protesting has gotten way out of hand in America and all the rules went out the window after BLM got away with mass destruction for years over the death of a dopehead felon.

Can't imagine them rounding up past BLM protestors. For future protestors, my guess is it won't be a "protest", it'll be a "sit-in" or a "gathering", some other term other than protest.
