Washington State Sen. Doug Ericksen proposes a bill against “economic terrorism”
"the bill would allow felony prosecution of people involved in protests that block transportation and commerce, damage property, threaten jobs and put public safety at risk."

blocking roads and burning stuff you don't own is already illegal.

"Ericksen also told the news station that his bill would punish people who fund and organize destructive protests."

?Economic terrorism?: Washington state lawmaker proposes bill to criminalize destructive protests ? TheBlaze

Good luck with that, lol.

I think, like what I said the other day about Al Copone, it would be a way to get to the source. The money man..... Soros? Don't know if you don't try. By the way, Hi.

Organizing a protest with the intent of causing violence is already illegal. Inciting a riot much?

We need to be very careful not to overstep free speech. If somebody organizes a legitimate protest and it turns violent because of dip****s I don't want the organizers being arrested.

Correct, except for the cases where the organizers were specifically seeking to incite violence by organizing their "protest," as with the execrable Bob Creamer, who was caught on a Project Veritas hidden camera bragging about deliberately sending people to Trump rallies with the specific purpose of instigating violence.

Hey Gary! I personally think Washington's law is pretty redundant. No need for more laws on the books, and people shouldn't be afraid to organize protests when, obviously subverse persons may make them liable for those person's illegal acts.

North Dakota pipeline protesters being water cannoned..........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mgI98Xo5bY. At the 22:00 mark it gets real whinny

Leftist open-carry in Austin, Texas

Look familiar?
I wonder who they'd call if a gang showed up and started beating them? Police?
Or drove a car through the protesters? Police?

Riots are against the law. Organizing riots are against the law. However, I am extremely encouraged by all the marches and demonstrations. I hope this keeps the opposing side involved so we can make real progress. Democracy demands we PEACEFULLY protest. Democracy demands we publicly state our beliefs and keep and stating those beliefs until we are heard. I applaud the peaceful demonstrators for speaking out against what they believe is potentially a tyrannical presidency. I don't remember any of us who did the same when we opposed Obama being elected. If we had, possibly some of the nonsense of the last 8 years would have been prevented. I think this is a great time to be an American and am very excited. We are going to prove to the world why we are the greatest country in existence today.

Ha, you obviously are new, bringing in rational thought.

Calling for dead cops is a protest?

 

[ATM]

... We are going to prove to the world why we are the greatest country in existence today.

Because we spend more on military offense and covert empire meddling than the rest of the world combined and will kick every other country's a$$es if they don't ask how high when we tell them to jump?

I think we've already proven that.

Agree with much of this... some clarification. Most of us were too busy running our businesses and _working_ to protest Obama. We _did_ elect Representatives and we held their feet to the fire in blocking as much of the legislation as possible. There was no practical way of blocking Obamacare. So when it took hold, we made sure that the backlash was as much as we could make it. This was IN SPITE OF Trump (who was arguably the least unifying candidate we could have picked). While I'm all for peaceful protest, fair enough... my suggestion to the protesters is : do what a lot of US did. Suck it up, get back to work, and SHOW us why your ideas are better. And then discuss them in places like INGO. And we'll see you at the next election.

Discuss them on places like INGO? Sure, unpopular views are extended the utmost respect, lol.

Unpopular views are, by their very definition,ummmm.. _unpopular_. Expecting them to have instant respect isn't a good bet. But if it's what you truly believe - stick with it. People will eventually listen. Today's crazy crackpot is tomorrow's visonary....

Sometimes. Sometimes they're just tomorrow's crackpot just with greyer hair.
