Because 5 years in jail + felony conviction + $7500 fine is totally about other people's right to travel, and not about hammering down public dissent.

- cpburns2009 10y agoIs that the minimum or maximum penalty? If that's the minimum, it is excessive. If that's merely the maximum, then for reference if you steal mail (also a federal offense), the maximum penalty is 5 years in prison and $250,000 which seems much worse to me. There has to be some deterrent to prevent unruly protesters from forcibly preventing people from getting to work and potentially being fired as a result.
