I believe that people are being arrested for carrying signs outside abortion clinics under some aspect of a law pertaining to racketeering. What perversion of justice allows the authorities to arrest an American for carrying a sign proclaiming that Jesus loves everyone and that the carrier of the sign is willing to provide assistance to people who may ask for help? There are no threats, coercion, or humiliation involved — only love and help IF ASKED FOR. I just cannot understand how this qualifies as racketeering. If I'm wrong about this, somebody PLEASE correct me.

The America I was born into is gone. And things have become exceedingly worse since January 20th.

What finally becomes of this country can only be frightening.

If I remember correctly, there was a case like this that went to the Sureme Court, and they said racketeering COULD NOT BE USED this way.
