So here's the thing, like you said, we already have laws to prevent the actions of these "protestors". So they could easily address their actions by enforcing those laws. But instead they're making protesting itself, or at least the creation of protest groups, an illegal activity. This isn't a response to those events. This is them reaching into their grab bag of wishes and using the event as an excuse to snatch more liberties, and extend their power, as they've always wished to do.
