Subject: Rioters and Town Hall Disruptors Take Notice !

Note: Arizona heard (our) demands for categorizing "paid provocateurs"
as "subversives" and to treat them like "non-combatants," and now the
state legislators are about to pass a bill to throw the "Rico Act" at
these George Soros thugs. It's imperative that you forward this to your
state's legislators for similar action. These paid thugs have taken
advantage of the 1st Amendment, rioting in the streets where they don't
even live, destroying property, and showing-up at (Republican) Town Hall
meetings to disrupt the meeting as if they were "concerned citizens"
that want OPEN BORDERS and the continuance of a failed
ObamaCare...posing as Republicans. The Obama O.F.A. and Hillary Clinton
have initiated a website: www.indivisableguide.com a
training program video on how to bring chaos to a Town Hall Meeting.
This has to stop and these socialist / communists need to be wrapped-up
tight ! ---D. Bertrand

Arizona Republicans Want To Prosecute Protesters The Same Way They Do Terrorists
Lawmakers say they’re targeting “paid protesters.”
The Republican-led Arizona state Senate passed a bill on Wednesday
that would permit the government to seize protesters’ assets and
prosecute them under a racketeering law designed to target organized
crime.
Senate Bill 1142
seeks to limit political demonstrations by expanding the definition of a
“riot” to include actions that damage property, and making rioting an
offense that can be prosecuted under racketeering statutes. If the
measure passes in the GOP-controlled state House and is signed into law,
protesting in Arizona would be on par with terrorism.
Republican lawmakers say the legislation is intended to limit the influence of paid protesters, a popular conservative conspiracy-theory scapegoat for grassroots demonstrations that have been intensifying since the election of President Donald Trump. There’s no evidence of any paid protest movement.
The legislation is written in a way that would allow protesters to be charged ― even if they don’t do anything. As the Arizona Capitol Times reports,
racketeering laws permit police to arrest people for planning to commit
a crime ― before anything has actually happened. Even those who don’t
participate in a demonstration could be charged. The bill’s fact sheet explains that “an overt act is not required” to prove conspiracy.
The state could seize assets for restitution. As the Phoenix New Times observed: “Plan a protest, lose your house.”
“The
purported purpose for this bill isn’t based in reality,” Steve Kilar,
the communications director for the Arizona ACLU, told HuffPost in an
email. “The bill’s supporters are using the false ‘paid protestors’
argument to connect this bill to what is commonly the purpose of
anti-racketeering laws: targeting the financial incentives of criminal
enterprises.
“But
if this bill were to pass, ‘riot’ would join ‘terrorism’ as the only
racketeering crimes in Arizona that would not require a financial
incentive,” Kilar said.
If this bill were to pass, ‘riot’ would join ‘terrorism’ as the only racketeering crimes in Arizona that would not require a financial incentive.
The bill’s implications for free speech apparently are of little concern to state Sen. Sonny Borrelli, the primary sponsor.
Borrelli said in comments published by the Phoenix New Times that the First Amendment is “not absolute,” and that his bill would protect “the civil liabilities of the citizens.”
It’s true that there are limits on free speech ― yelling fire in a theater, for example. Still, the ACLU isn’t sold on Borrelli’s argument.
“There’s
no doubt this proposal would chill the public’s right to free speech
and assembly because it could allow police and prosecutors to go after
the organizers of peaceful protests if a handful of participants engage
in unlawful acts,” Kilar said. “Furthermore, the conduct this bill
allegedly addresses is prohibited by existing law and there’s no
evidence that additional deterrence is necessary to prevent rioting or
the incitement of riot.”
The bill passed the state Senate on a party-line vote, with all 17 Republicans voting in favor, and all 13 Democrats opposed.
