So again, no restriction on speaking one's mind. Only a restriction of dumping litter on somebody's property to threaten and intimidate them.

If BLM, or a Democratic politician, were to leave a flyer on someone's private property, would they be prosecuted as a felony for "dumping litter"?

What if I say I felt "intimidated" by a BLM flyer left on my lawn? Would my subjective feeling be enough for felony charges? Or would the subjective feelings of some groups be accorded higher deference than that of others?

We already have laws against threats and harassment. As with all "hate crime" bills, this one sounds like an opportunity for much mischief.

Now that is a really good analysis.

ANYTHING with a “Hate Crime” designation is pure Bolshevik Thought Crime and ripe for abuse. The entire reason such a designation is IN a law is to provide an opportunity for abuse.

No American “conservative” would be caught dead signing off on such a thing.
