Five states so far have legislation proposed that would increase criminal penalties for protesting.

North Dakota even wants drivers that run over and injure/kill protesting pedestrians to be exempt from criminal charges related to vehicular negligence that causes bodily harm.

Anyone else think this is completely insane? Isn't the entire point of protests for them to be obstructive enough to the point that your voice is heard? Protests lose all meaning if you have to stand in designated areas where nobody will give a shit. Why are we outlawing and criminalizing one of our fundamental constitutional rights?

Step one of reprograming you for the good of our nation.

Our rights are getting peeled away one by one.

Just shut up and be happy.

Does it feel like maybe we're getting a golden shower from our leaders?

Pattern legislation all being introduced by GOP state legislators.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Your right to protest isn't being taken away. Just regulated for a more orderly society.
