And You Said Terrorism Wasn’t Communism:
Reuters is reporting that Oregon Senator John Minnis (R) has introduced legislation that would make any person who “plans or participates in an act that is intended, by at least one of its participants, to disrupt” business, transportation, schools, government or free assembly a “terrorist”. Penalty for those who protest in the streets and block traffic would include being branded as a terrorist and automatically sentenced to between 25 years and life in prison.
If Patriot Act II (DSEA-2003), I will seriously be considering packing bags. It’s insane. And no one’s stopping these people.
Sardonicus in the comments:
If democracy worked in this country, then “Senator John Minnis has introduced legislation that makes protesters into terrorists” would be a strict synonym of “Senator John Minnis looks forward to spending more time with his family immediately after the next election, because after a stunt like this he couldn’t get elected dogcatcher.” No free people should stand for this bullshit for a second.
If democracy worked in this country…
