Rev. Jim Rigby is arrested on the Capitol grounds in Austin, Texas, during May 1 protests against House Bill 4.

Arrested for whar?
Protesting mandate that people should obey the law.
If leftist don't like a law they should be able to ignore it. Progress dictates that they will soon be killing us.
Blocking the lobby of the capitol building all day.
Doesn't seem like a travesty of justice if you actually tell the whole story though.
