    Harassment, trespassing, and illegal parking, in that order.

    Police will abuse their discretion if it’s made a felony, effectively outlawing only street protests that police don’t approve of.

      And standing in the middle of traffic is jaywalking.

      But I thought shutting down traffic was good for democracy. Should people who block access to abortion clinics be punished or not?
