With the Chauvin verdict coming at any time and preparations already made to “peacefully protest” no matter the outcome, I figure the Governor will sign the bill into law sooner than later to keep people from doing felonious crap. Specially with all the exaggeration published in the Media and even amplified by the ACLU, maybe a couple of “Air Jordan Activists” may think twice about relocating the inventory of a store to their private stock.
I suck at predictions, but I believe that we may see the Governor do his thing today. Tomorrow at the latest.
The media exaggeration is definitely an advantage in this case.
In Tennessee in 2016(?), the legislature passed a bill that said if a protester jumps in front of your car and you hit them unintentionally, the protester cannot sue you.
The national and international media presented this as “TN legalizes mowing down peaceful protesters.”
Magically, all protests involving highway-blocking immediately ceased, and there have been no such protests since.
