Florida’s and Mississippi’s bills in particular represent a new brand of anti-protest laws on steroids, creating penalties for a wide array of activities, from damaging monuments to obstructing traffic. The bills include measures that could encourage harsh law enforcement responses to protests as well as provisions meant to prevent local governments from reducing police funding.
The narrower Indiana bill would broaden the definition of rioting — which the Florida bill did as well — and would criminalize camping at the Indiana state Capitol. The Mississippi bill would also allow the state to strip unemployment benefits from anyone who pleads guilty to participating in disruptive protests.
So basically if you are poor, don't have a job and they feck you from everywhere you can't protest, while if you consistently don't have a problem to find a job and presumably less problems in your life so less inclined or have less reasons to protest you can protest because you wont care if they strip you from unemployment benefits.
