It seems like a dangerous slippery slope to me, but it fits right in with the punishing squelching mindset of Republicans.
Tell me, which of the "protesters" that attacked Kyle Rittenhouse was a "peaceful protester"? The convicted felon that threw a brick at him? Or the convicted felon that struck him in the head with a skateboard? Or the nice young man that kicked him in the head as he lay on the street? Or perhaps the convicted felon with a handgun that attacked him?

I'll wait patiently for your answer
Have you filled your rioting quota yet? Maybe they think your feeling powerful in a group is payment enough. Better talk to George, you're likely missing out.

It's a scheme and it's day has come and went.

Happy voting, looting rioting arsoning losers!





See above. ^


https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2020...hicago-police/


"Chicago Police Department officers showed footage Monday of last weekend’s attack on a statue of Christopher Columbus in the city, in which rioters armed with projectiles used “peaceful” protests as a cover for attacks on police."

Guess what fools? The "peaceful" protesters are libel.



Vandalism. You are deflecting. We're talking about arson. Go see what arson and shooting "commercial" fireworks aka mortars and using slingshots, lasers, etc. on law enforcement is gonna get you.

Go eat your milk toast someplace else.
I am still unclear why we need new laws. Shouldn’t we just enforce the ones on the books?

I'm going to do more than punish the violent protestors who destroyed my business that I built for the last 20 years, now I have nothing to lose. Its headhunting time!

These ass clowns are trying to make protesting illegal. Fascists don’t like the 1st Amendment.
Yep, this is an attempt to equate 'protesting' with rioting/looting...its working too!

the MSM does it constantly, but NOW you complain?

it actually does nothing of the sort:

Quote:
The “Support Peaceful Protest Act” targets those who were arrested for committing crimes such as acts of violence, looting or vandalism at a protest. The bill suggests that rioters are to pay for the cost of federal policing and be ineligible for unemployment assistance.

Agreed. Well intentioned, but we do not need new laws to protect people who've had their rights violated.

Look at these words:

"perfectly legal protesters" when the plan clearly states "rioters". A shill would try to confuse the 2.

"tiny minority", as if the number means jack all. A shill would try to lead people to believe it's no big deal because it's just a few people. Doesn't matter how many people are involved, the destruction they do is huge.

"for say, graffiti" as if that's all they're doing. A shill would try to make people believe that a) graffiti is a harmless, victimless crime, and b) that the terrorist rioters are not destroying property, breaking windows, setting buildings on fire, looting, harassing people, beating people, killing people, torturing animals, etc. No, a shill would have you believe that they're just spraying a little graffiti around.

"dangerous slippery slope" - a shill would have you believe that there's no possible way that the police can, and have, identified many of these terrorist rioters in the past, and that would make it very easy to cut off their benefits for committing the crimes they commit.

"punishing, squelching mindset" Only a shill would apologize for these Marxist terrorist rioters and try to blame what they're doing on the right. People on the left also realize it, and that's why they are leaving and voting for Trump this year. They've said it right out loud on this forum, but the shill would have you believe that punishment for horrific crimes is a bad thing.

Of course, some people don't care about what happens to this country, as long as they get paid.

Again, these things you have listed are already illegal. Why do we need new laws?
