Texas State Bill Would Make Protesting Pipelines a Felony on Par With Attempted Murder

A bill making its way through the Texas legislature would make protesting pipelines a third-degree felony, the same as attempted murder.  

H.B. 3557, which is under consideration in the state Senate after passing the state House earlier this month, ups penalties for interfering in energy infrastructure construction by making the protests a felony. Sentences would range from two to 10 years.

DYI:  As oil and gas becomes harder and harder to find unfortunately there will be additional misplaced and obvious unconstitutional legislation proposed in more States. 

Many of the protesters would just love to see oil and gas disappear and when the supply eventually becomes far more limited along with prices moving up; the ranks of protesters will drop as well.  All due to a reduced standard of living leaving very little time for protesting as most folks have no idea how energy dependent the world is!
