Death of the Die-in

Death Of The "Die-In"?
OREGON LAW WOULD JAIL WAR PROTESTERS AS TERRORISTS
Reuters

An Oregon anti-terrorism bill would jail street-blocking protesters for
at least 25 years in a thinly veiled effort to discourage anti-war
demonstrations, critics say. The bill has met strong opposition but
lawmakers still expect a debate on the definition of terrorism and the
value of free speech before a vote by the state senate judiciary
committee, whose Chairman, Republican Senator John Minnis, wrote the
proposed legislation. Dubbed Senate Bill 742, it identifies a terrorist
as a person who "plans or participates in an act that is intended, by
at least one of its participants, to disrupt" business, transportation,
schools, government, or free assembly.
