protectionist has had an epic meltdown.

Calling the elderly for what they are, buddy, is not a violation of the law.

Displays of ignorance don't help your case >>

Approximately same law exists in Alabama, currently being violated by the Moore accusers.

But the statute does not protect you, an anonymous poster here.

It protects anyone in Florida (where I am), over the age of 65 (I'm 71).Most states have the same law (or similar), including Alabama, which puts the Moore accusers in some legal jeopardy.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Nope. You are fair game here within the Board rules. No one is in any jeopardy for going after the lech Moore and his defenders.

The board rules are merely the rules of USMB. That has no effect on Florida Statute 825.102 (and similar ones of other states). If a state wishes to prosecute you, they can and will. Hundreds of convicts are serving time right now on these
laws, dozens of them in Florida alone.

This a retirement state. You don't mess with seniors in Florida.

 

[JakeStarkey]

I mess with you all the time, oldtimer, as you do with me. Now you are just being a crotchety old man who is pissed that Roy Moore is in a pickle of his own making.

He was making a fool of himself on tv a few minutes ago.
