What happened to freedom?

• grant civil immunity to people who decide to drive their cars into protesters who are blocking a road
• penalize local governments that interfere with efforts to stop riots (RCMP)
• prevents people accused of rioting from being bailed out of jail until after their first court appearance
• makes it a second-degree felony to destroy a plaque, memorial, painting, flag, or other structure commemorating historical people or events (like, say, The War Memorial or Terry Fox). That would make such actions punishable by up to a decade in prison.
• makes blocking a highway a felony offense and say…
• new felony crime of “aggravated rioting” that carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison and a new crime of “mob intimidation.”

My opinion:

• no fucking way - licence to kill???
• depends on the police force…eg. are they remaining apolitical???
• what about people scooped up that weren’t apart of the protest? Bail holdings is its own separate issue tied with the legal system.
• a decade in prison??? For vandalism? Enforce laws against property damage…have some property protected as “nation’s” (doesn’t this already exist - I’d have to check)
• blockades are different than blocking…. Blockades can be a national security risk - blocking??? Tow trucks…
• hmmm interesting wording eh? If group wearing KKK outfits? Red hats? Orange t-shirts??? Is “mob intimidation” subjective? How does the messaging (hate/violence) play into the intent of the “mob”?
