We have reason to hope, I saw an article just a half hour ago that someone in congress has already introduced a bill to make it illegal to harm people and disrupt business in these protests.
It’s already getting blowback of course, but he did a very good job of explaining that it does nothing to stop protest, as long as that protest does not interfere with business, people getting to work, incite burning and looting, or personal harm to individuals. Start doing any of those things and they will now be specifically illegal, if the bill passes.
I’m pretty sure most of it is already illegal, this bill just clarifies it and gives police some teeth.
Demonstrating why Article five will not change anything. There are already laws on the books that address these thugs, just enforce them.
The wall will make a few jobs available but it will change nothing unless we enforce the current immigration law.
