Just when you think the 4th Reich of the Republican party can't get any worse. Arizona comes up with this law. It's to oppress free speech in this country. Protesters can now be arrested and their property seized if a protest turns violent, even though they may not be involved in the violence.
"Arizona’s police officers will be able to arrest and seize the assets of any protest attendee, even before any crime or riot has taken place, under a new law voted through by state senators on Wednesday.
The legislation was originally established for racketeering but was expanded in definition to include rioting, allowing for the prosecution of everyone planned or participated in a protest that turns violent.
Democrats have criticized the bill, which allows demonstrators to be arrested and have their property seized. The legislation does not require discrimination as to who may have, for example, thrown a punch in a crowd or broken a window. As soon as a riotous action has occurred, all protesters are deemed broadly associated and therefore guilty.
Further to that, due to processes afforded authorities who investigate racketeering and the renewed definition of rioting, police are permitted to preemptively arrest those planning a protest."
New Arizona 'riot' law lets police arrest peaceful protesters—and seize their property
The 4th Reich of the Republican party is in full swing with Trump in office. Make certain they pay hell for it in 2018 and 2020.
Except today there aren't very many "Better jobs", they've been sent away, or overwhelmed by the hordes of other people looking for better jobs.
Your lack of concern for Middle America is still making my case for me.
I've never had a problem getting a better job. Even when your boys fuck up the economy, I always make it work.
Good for you. Times change. YOur lack of compassion for those who came after you shows your opinion on them to be motivated by your bigotry.
Your utter contempt for Middle American belies your claim of concern for them and their interests.
I have utter contempt for you. The rest of it is a lot of eye-rolling that you think a TV Rodeo Clown is going to make your life better by picking on someone who has less than you do.
Your words, on Middle America.
"The problem with "Traditional Middle America" is that it's kind of backwards and shit-ignorant "
" I have contempt for stupid people who vote against their own interests, but I help anyone who asks. The first thing I tell them is to get over the last job they lost, and look to the future.
Middle America is where it is at because of it's own laziness and complacency. "
You don't care about the New York Times ignoring their interests because you are hostile to their interests.
You WANT their interests to be ignored and to suffer if it benefits someone you like more, which is just about everyone.
Is this one of those "we hate law and order", "we want the anything goes free for all to continue" sort of things?
Yes, but with a healthy dose of reflexive anti-americanism and anti-white racism, and anti-christian bigotry, thrown in.
Do you have any idea what would happen to Arizona's economy if they chased out every illegal there?
The entire point of this thread is--is that this ridiculous bill does not DISCRIMINATE between peaceful protesters and ones that are doing the rioting.
IOW--a bystander who wasn't even involved in the protest, could simply be arrested, his property seized, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A peaceful protest, one goes wild and throws a brick through a window, they all get arrested and their property is seized.
It most certainly is a DELIBERATE infringement on freedom of speech, and any District Court judge is going to pound this one into the ground as soon as it reaches their desk.
It's because people elect people to be state legislators that really have no business being in those positions. They're actually dumber than dirt, they just know how to campaign. They put the taxpayers at risk of major law suits, knowing full well that this is going to be challenged immediately.[/QUOTE]
Your godwing gives you a credibility rating of zero. Your opinion has no value.
