Virginia Democrats Push Legislation to Make Criticism of Government Officials a Criminal Offense

[The Purge]

In the wake of the Virginia gun rights rally on Monday, Democrats in the Capitol are not slowing down their push for tyranny. They are moving a bill through the legislature that would effectively criminalize dissent against Governor Blackface Northam and other state government officials.

House Bill 1627 was introduced by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne last week. The legislation “provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.”

Language in the bill explicitly criminalizes free speech, in what would constitute a blatant attack on the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.

DemonRATS Sounding more and more like Bejing.and North Korea politically each day....Is Virginia the TRIAL STATE for American communism as DemonRATS now have full control of all 3 branches of the government? One has to wonder after the GUN RALLY this week where thousands showed up to protest the governments taking away 2nd Amendment rights!

Excellent! It is my hope that this tyranny goes forward and is enacted.
Bring on the boogaloo.

Just waiting for Virginia to pop. Merely a matter of time.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

This will come back 100 fold if it passes.

Funny how the attack on the second amendment was immediately followed by an attack on the First Amendment

Democrats Seek Civil War, But Will Get Revolution
By William L. Gensert


Democrats conspired with foreign agents, lied, cheated, and denied due process to Donald Trump. If they were willing to do that to a duly elected president in order to obtain power, what should Americans expect them to do to them should they refuse attempts to be disarmed?

Read so much

We need laws to make it a felony to incite violence against Trump supporters.

Here's the bill.

Threats and harassment of certain officials and property; venue. Provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. In addition, threats to damage property may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the property is owned by the Commonwealth and located in the Capitol District.

Don't see the word "dissent" anywhere.

Why are you even bothering to post it?

These idiots either can't read or don't care to read it even if they could.

All you are doing is interrupting another nutter circle jerk.

Probably, but then again the hateful right probably does not know the difference between threats and dissent.

Here's the thing it's already illegal to threaten politicians or anyone else it's also already illegal to damage property so why do they need a special law?

What they want to do is lower the threshold for the definitions of harassment and threatening so they can silence their critics

Why do they need a special law when those things are already illegal?

The demoncrats have no shame and are not even trying to hide their tyranny in Virginia

House Bill 1627 was introduced by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne last week. The legislation “provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.

harassment is a broad term. A person being criticized could claim they were being harassed.
