SPOKANE, Wash The Spokane City Council adopted an ordinance on Monday night that makes certain activity by armed groups a misdemeanor under city code.
The move was designed to deter militias from patrolling the streets, a concern that began with protests last summer and was heightened by recent political violence at the U.S. Capitol. Rather than be reactive, I d rather be proactive and anticipate so that we re not caught off guard, said City Council Member Lori Kinnear.
