Comment on Arizona Republicans have a plan to make protest illegal

Arizona Republicans have a plan to make protest illegal

A bill attempting to criminalize protest has passed the Arizona Senate—supported entirely by Republicans, of course—and is headed to the state House. The bill claims to be aimed at “rioting,” but rioting is already illegal. This bill says that anyone who plans or attends a protest at which something the government chooses to define as rioting happens can be prosecuted: SB1142 expands the state’s racketeering laws, now aimed at organized crime, to also include rioting.
