In line with their historical role as leaders in the battle against social justice and the right to freedom of assembly and free speech, the rednecks of the deep south states are winning their most recent attack on organizing mass political protest by holding protest organizers financially liable for any actions by any protester OR counter protester that harm any individuals or damage any property.  The SCOTUS refused to hear a case from Louisiana where a cop was hit in the face by a rock thrown by a protester, and the BLM leader who organized the protest got sued despite not having anything to do with throwing the rock.

Now, refusing to hear the case doesn't mean they approve of the decision of the lower court that held him liable, but until they specifically state that you can't do this, nobody will organize a protest down there because you can't possibly control what happens when you get a large group of people in the street with cops with billy clubs and water cannon.  Violence happens during political protests, it's almost guaranteed if the issue is polarizing enough.

Down the road to fascism we go, one case at a time.
