The next step: They will begin questioning Texas women in airports and bus terminals.

12. Don't doubt this will encourage hostile aggression from the kind

we see in the videos.

As for hostiles being allowed to try to apply THIS law against strangers in airports, though, combining the fun of harassment and even worse crimes with a very distant possibility of hitting the lottery? I really don't see it,

Even TX has laws against harassing and threatening. BIG backlash from people in general, voters, business, misuse sabotage of the law's functioning, etc, would force a stop to it. As it is, this law is going to increase the reluctance of many desirable professionals to move to TX for jobs and dissuade yet more businesses from locating there.

Now, later, after they were able to take over and establish an authoritarian police state, that might well be different. As has happened many places, those favored by the authorities might attack approved victims while people hurried by for their own sakes, but that'd be a different America.

Imo, the people to fear are more like a malicious in-law or neighbor, a druggie cousin, a child's teacher, mail carrier, etc, and anyone they might gossip and speculate with.
