Gotta love it when legislators start creating crimes out of thin air. What would compose „economic terrorism“ in the eyes of Sen. Ericksen? Would it be market manipulation? Intentional flash crashes? Setting currency on fire in a crowded theater while shouting „Fire!“?

Sadly, no. It would be First Amendment-protected activity. From the senator‘s website:

– Timely measure criminalizes illegal protests aimed at causing economic damage

– Applies to unlawful disruption of transportation and commerce

– Allows treble damages against funders and organizers
