Florida's Anti-protest Bill

So, the Bill says stuff like, people can't protest on the sidewalk, in the street or on private property.
This translate into, you can't protest.

If someone does something violent, and you didn't, yet you are in the crowd, you can be arrested for the felony of rioting by association. 15 years.

It goes on and on... I heard about this on the radio.

Here is an opinion piece about it:

They actually call it, "Anti-Riot" Bill, but we know what this is.

I don’t agree with sidewalk. They should be allowed on sidewalks. I’d change street to highway.

The bill says no sidewalks and no streets, so now what?

The bill is really really bad. They reported on all kinds of horrific things in it.
