In this episode of Crayon Box Weekly, we discuss the evolving landscape of protest rights post 9/11. We delve into the impact of the US Patriot Act and how it facilitated federal overreach, specifically targeting African American protestors and downplaying far-right threats. We also address controversial government tactics like fusion centers, drone surveillance, and secret police methods in protest monitoring. This episode highlights the imbalance in treatment between different protest movements and critiques the growing infringement on constitutional rights.
