This looks like a pretty good use of Oregon tax money: Law would jail war protesters as terrorists. It mentions that Police unions oppose the bill, too. They fear the effect it could have on police relations with "vulnerable" populations. Stupidity transcends ideology. At a recent protest/march here in San Diego, a woman protester with a baby in a stroller and a dog on a leash was wandering too close to traffic in adjacent lanes, and a cop on a horse kept telling her to stay inside the lines, away from the moving vehicles that could run her and her charges over. She ignored him and gave him the peace sign.
