    Why do you almost invariably misrepresent things?

    Do you get some perverse satisfaction out of it?

    Do you have an aversion to honesty?

    This probably wouldn't be an issue if the last year or two hadn't been a study in "how not to protest." What is meant to be a peaceful way of objecting to policies or actions has become an excuse for 5% of those who turn out to loot, burn and destroy everything in their path.

    They really $#@! things up for the rest of us.

    Regardless, these sorts of laws will probably be challenged by a higher court eventually.

    Claiming people are being paid to riot, Republican state senators voted Wednesday to give police new power to arrest anyone who is involved in a peaceful demonstration that may turn bad — even before anything actually happened.

    SB1142 expands the state’s racketeering laws, now aimed at organized crime, to also include rioting. And it redefines what constitutes rioting to include actions that result in damage to the property of others.

    Why do I feel that the rioters will just ramp up their tactics to offset the police? We may see all out wars in the streets of America.
