>>> Why do you want to hang nooses on other properties?

I didn’t say anything about other’s property.
I suggested the law be challenged by wearing it as a garment... a way of exercising free speech...

Wearing the noose could easily be interpreted as a statement by the wearer that their own freedom has been encroached upon, while protesting the law at the same time.

It was just an idea... civil disobedience.

Sure it did:

The bill by Democratic Assemblywoman Wilma Carter of Rialto would make it a misdemeanor to hang a noose on someone else's property or at a school or workplace.

As I said, doing this on other properties should be a big no no. How is this reconcileable with property rights, if I hang a noose from your door?

However the problematic bit is whether such displays are banned from protests (I guess so...), in which case it would be a matter of free speech.

Sorry, misread your post. I misread your first line as "It didn’t say anything about other’s property."

Nevermind!
