Nah, it's pretty simple on two fronts:

  1. The street is not a safe space. You shouldn't expect to go out on a road and be safe. That's why you look both ways before crossing. If you expect to be able to protest on a road, you are selfish, stupid, and borderline retarded.

  2. Streets are for cars... That's why there's plenty of regulations already about No Pedestrians on a freaking highway.

This bill gives the laws that exist teeth since police can't be everywhere and moving protestors takes time. People are trying to get to work or to the hospital. There's no way you can tell me that a protest is more important than someone getting to the hospital before they die. Now people need weigh whether or not their protest is important enough to die for without restricting the rights to protest.
