Tennessee governor signs law to outlaw certain types of rioting, vandalism, and violence

Sounds to me the actions of a bunch of cowards. If this is a good thing why the need to do it without letting people know?

The rioters, looters, murderers, pillagers are cowards and completely worthless.

They aren't the ones hiding behind closed doors. They are willing to stand up for their beliefs.........unlike these politicians.
Their belief that burning, smashing windows and looting is fun? Or gets them free stuff and eases the pain they feeling like FAILURES in life?

Interesting....

What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson.

Nobody is talking here about denying the rights of anybody to peacefully protest the programs, polices, or actions of any gov't official such as a police officer on up to the President himself. But dude, that right does not include rioting, destruction of property, and violence against the police or anyone else. Or do you want to say that it does? It seems as though the Democratic Party thinks so, do you?

Except President Thomas Jefferson as one of his first acts as President put down a bunch of nutjobs who were LOOTING, ROBBING and DESTROYING stuff that wasn't theirs. So you must agree that Trump needs to act like President Jefferson did when he sent troops to the Barbary Coast?

Good to know! LOL

The only thing Trump needs to put down is his cell phone.

Trump called those who were peacefully protesting SOB's and called for them to be fired.

When that happens the founders understood that violence would be needed.

The thing will rebellion is for you to considered to not be traitors is you have to win, or at least lose in such a way that the winners let you off the hook.

What we are seeing here isn't rebellion, its a temper tantrum.

The authoritarians have never been able to win these arguments. Funny you say that though being on the side of those who fought and lost but yet you think we should still honor those people with statues.

Yeah, yeah, rave on. We just don't want your riots in our state. Go play and thieve, burn and loot somewhere else.

First of all, Trump is entitled to his opinion just like everyone else. Right or wrong, that does not entitle anybody to riot, vandalize, or try to injure someone else. Do you agree? I noticed that you dodged the original question, so I'll ask again: right to protest does not include rioting, destruction of property, and violence against the police or anyone else. Do you want to say that it does?

The thing about the Founding Fathers was that they had no representation in the British gov't; i.e., they didn't have an alternative. All the rioting, violence, and destruction is being done by people who do have representation and can participate in the democratic process if they have a problem. The problem of police brutality is not a new one, but the voters continue to vote into office the same people and the same political party who aren't doing their jobs of getting rid of the bad cops. And that sure as hell isn't Trump's fault.


" Trump called those who were peacefully protesting SOB's and called for them to be fired. "

I believe Trump was talking about Kaepernick and others who kneeled for the national anthem. As I said, he's entitled to his opinion but that does not excuse rioting. etc.

Sorry, but not wanting property destroyed isn't authoritarian.

They fought, they lost, the two issues aren't related except via the violence of the current crop of temper tantrum throwing sissies.

No. I agree with those who founded this country. When the king would not listen to their complaints what did they do?

I noticed that you dodged the original question, so I'll ask again: right to protest does not include rioting, destruction of property, and violence against the police or anyone else. Do you want to say that it does?

Those who threw tea into the harbor did not have the "right" to do that. We did not have the "right" to break off from England either.

When those in office refuse to address the grievances of the people they understood that would lead to violence. It in large part is why they enacted the 2nd Amendment. Are you saying that the founders didn't understand that people had to be armed to protect themselves from the government if need be?

The thing about the Founding Fathers was that they had no representation in the British gov't; i.e., they didn't have an alternative. All the rioting, violence, and destruction is being done by people who do have representation and can participate in the democratic process if they have a problem.

All Trump's fault? No. These protests started under Obama. One could argue even earlier than that.


" Trump called those who were peacefully protesting SOB's and called for them to be fired. "

I believe Trump was talking about Kaepernick and others who kneeled for the national anthem. As I said, he's entitled to his opinion but that does not excuse rioting. etc.

I disagree. We can also go back and note that it was rioting that finally got us out of Vietnam. It was the right thing to do.

And they are winning.
 
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) quietly signed a bill into law ramping up punishments for certain kinds of protests, including losing the right to vote.

The GOP-controlled state General Assembly passed the measure last week during a three-day special legislative session and was signed without an announcement earlier this week.

Among other things, the new law stipulates that people who illegally camp on state property will face a Class E felony, punishable by up to six years in prison. People found guilty of a felony in Tennessee lose the right to vote.

The new law also slaps a mandatory 45-day sentence for aggravated rioting, boosts the fine for blocking highway access to emergency vehicles and enhances the punishment for aggravated assault against a first responder to a Class C felony.
.
.
Lee and state Republicans have defended the legislation, pointing to fires that were set inside and outside a courthouse in May, though Lee has acknowledged there were portions of the bill he “would have done differently.”


AND

“This bill increases the punishment for illegal camping on state property from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class E felony with a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 days imprisonment and an order of restitution for any property damage or loss incurred as a result of the offense,” the summary of HB 8005 reads.

“This bill generally prohibits the release of a person arrested for any of the following offenses for 12 hours from the time of the arrest: camping on state property, vandalism of government property, rioting, aggravated rioting, inciting a riot, or obstructing a highway.”

The measure comes after demonstrations have been carried out for months in front of the state capital building. The demonstrations are a part of nationwide unrest that followed the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police in May.

In addition, the new law mandates a 45-day jail sentence to those guilty of aggravated riot, higher fines for blocking emergency vehicles on highways and Class C felony for assaults on first responders.



The Democrats, Media, and the ACLU are all up in arms about this, but the premise is peaceful protest is fine but rioting is not. I don't know all the details, but this sounds like a good idea to me.
Camp says they are "Freedom fighters".

They are not winning chit. They are creating a more authoritarian situation for others which will ultimately fall right back on them as they are all hauled away to be secured under lock and key behind bars.

They are winning. We now have a large number of police officers wearing body cams. We see daily where police officers are getting fired for things they used to get away with. Many are now actually being charged with crimes themselves. There is more to come.

Why do you LIE, Dumbocrat?

We already learned that the Minneapolis cop had more than 16 complaints of "excessive force" by whites and blacks. And the 100% Controlled by Democrat city government did NOTHING. They chose keeping UNION money flowing into their coffers.. The 12 Democrats and 1 further Left Wing Green Socialist party City council did NOTHING. The Democrat mayor did NOTHING. The Democrat Police Chief appointed by the Democrat mayor did NOTHING.
Now you know why you sound so RETARDED to all us non-Leftists.
Not to mention your left wing Democrat early whines calling the 1 Asia, 1 Black and 1 White cop arrested "WHITE SUPREMISTS" to fit your agenda's propaganda. From the 100% controlled Democrat city of Minneapolis.

Body cams were a thing way before burn, loot and murder came along. Those body cams protect the officers too from false claimants. Are the charges legit? If they are then they should be charged.
