Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Just a note on this topic. See http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s109-3880 <http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s109-3880> , the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act signed into US law on Jan 3. 2007. The options for radicals in America is continuing to be curtailed. Under this law, one can foresee that a " peaceful " protester yelling " Killer! " in the front of Whole Foods could be prosecuted under this law for mental harm inflicted, and even perhaps under Hate Crime legislation. You will be liable for all legal and medical bills (therapy and prescription tranquilizers) incurred, and in any loss of profit from the store. Alternatively, if you the peaceful radical decides to tie yourself to a " cage-free " delivery van, you will be charged for any extra petro used while your body is dragged around town. Additionally, if your peaceful protest permit had expired during your travels, you will be charged with trespassing and sent to jail for a maximum of life imprisonment. This bill was 100% sponsored by Republicans from the most-massive producing meat states, and amended by 1 Democrat, Sen. Feinstein [D-CA], who just clarified for us all that there is a Free Speech Amendment to the US Constitution, so we can talk somewhat about social atrocities but can't act on any of them.
