In Washington state, a politician put forth an idea that would make protests an "economic" felony. It would lead to 5 years in prison and/or $10,000 in fines. It doesn't seem likely to pass, but this goes to show just what ideas can come forth now.

I doubt that Washongton state would be successful with that. That state voted for Hillary.

@Mert5356: I live in the area. Doug Ericksen, represents Ferndale, home to two refineries. The refineries, are constantly targeted by protesters, so they contribute heavily to his campaigns. He's showing what a good puppy he is, by attempting to punish environmentalists, tribal activists and others who have obstructed oil and coal trains, pipelines and similar projects.
His proposal, is NOT going to pass.
