1. I believe hellhole TN started this trend during initial Floyd protests

Scum gov lee called a special session to ram it through.

As terrorist attack of 1/6 unfolded, I thought about how selective the felony protest charges would be if that were occurring here.

Qpuke party should be deemed a terrorist organization imo.

2. They likely initially got the idea from Charlottesvlle

Rachel asked if the monster who ran down Heather Heyer would be prosecuted under this new "law."
