    Obviously this measure is toast at least because it is both unenforceable and unconstitutional. One of the biggest whack job bills I've ever seen. For example, any law in conflict with this is deemed to be repealed (not just superceded) - can't be enforced in the future. I only had 5 minutes for my response, and decided to make the following points:

    1. Completely vague on what Non-Violent Direction means, but very specific on effect on police and conflicting laws
    2. Seems to allow all the crappy protester activities any normal person loathes: vandalism, theft, blocking traffic/access, urination, defecation, animal poo, littering, camping/vagrancy
    3. Assumes the police will be unjust/unfair
    4. Puts protester rights above rights of residents
    5. Law would be above all other laws and clear violation of supremacy statutes

    Yet a few cities have ignored the law when it came to OWC, BLM and post election protest. Like a Sanctuary City , the laws are only as good as the city council that governs them.

    The unwritten idea of looking the other way, has morphed in to one of Here's some gas and matches, enjoy your outrage.
