Keeping the idiots off the roads:

“I’ll be reintroducing the Safe and Open Streets Act to make sure activists who resort to these reckless tactics are prosecuted by the federal government and held accountable for endangering public safety,” tweeted the bill sponsor, North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis. If passed, individuals convicted of blocking roads or causing intentional traffic would face fines or a federal prison sentence of up to five years. Leftist groups, such as Black Lives Matter (BLM), pro-Hamas agitators, Antifa, and now anti-ICE rioters, are notorious for blocking roads. “The emerging tactic of radical protesters blocking roads and stopping commerce is not only obnoxious to innocent commuters, but it’s also dangerous and will eventually get people killed. It needs to be a crime throughout the country,” Tillis told Fox News Digital. Senators Tillis and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) had introduced the same bill, S. 3492, in January 2024 in response to pro-Hamas protesters. “The Safe and Open Streets Act is in direct response to radical tactics of pro-Palestine protestors who have intentionally blocked roads and highways across the country,” Tillis said.
