Has he been called UT yet ?
Speech is speech, whether I agree with it or not. It sets a horrible precedent.
Thought crime legislation is evil.
Ok, we will need to see how it is written and look for any ambiguity in the phrasing because that is where things will go wrong and loopholes will happen.
Jones is an honest broker
Black people have forgotten: God made us all. We are all made by God.
I was assaulted while campaigning in 2016. The woman accompanying me 50 meters or so away got the same treatment.
He’s been there, done that
He came out in support of Trump in April, got called everything in the book, INCLUDNG a “white man”
resigned his seat and then reversed that decision when he saw how much support he had from thiking people
Say’s he’ll stay a Dem, but only to work to change them from within
Don’t interrupt him. He’s on a roll.....
There is no such thing. All whites inherit racism from birth. All these years and I just finally learned that tonight.
Some how, my heavy heart feels slightly up-lifted.
The attack is the crime, but basing it on an attempt to suppress free speech, the right to free assembly, or in order to target a whole ethnic or racial group Is actually a separate violation in itself.
Just assaulting somebody to rob them or because its a neighbor you dont like,,etc., is a different thing from assaulting sometime to intimidate them and stop them from speaking, voting, or exercising any other constitutional right.
Wait till you get assaulted trying to go to the polls this November.
So yes, I think this man is doing the right thing.
Haven’t you gotten the memo? God is dead.Ask any leftist,he’ll tell you!
Is this The Babylon Bee?
“...But basing it on an attempt to suppress free speech, the right to free assembly, or in order to target a whole ethnic or racial group Is actually a separate violation in itself.”
I couldn’t disagree with you more strongly - I do not want to live an a society where the government has the right to punish thought or intent. (It might be too late already.)
Besides - do you really think this sort of idiocy will ever benefit conservatives in practice? It all just paves the way for “Hate Speech” crimes, which is what we’re really going to be attacked with if we let this crap continue.
Ive see way to many black with us and way to many left wing whites causing crap to destroy the country.. to even thing race has anything to do with any things
The problems is the fascist left and the majority of them are urban soy boy upper middle
class white punks your Antifa types an their cheerleaders... id believe white privilege too if I thought all white people were those A..holes
Except there already exist "hate crime" stipulations. So he's elevating the issue by making it about fairness. Right now some people are more equal than others, so he's trying to make it an issue within the Democratic party about leveling the playing field.
You sir have balls that clang!
So if tear gas/ pepper spray is used on “peaceful protestors,” it will be a hate crime.
Stop it! You need to go back to reeducation camp! You’re not allowed to add rational thought to this conversation! WE DECIDE what ‘hate speech’ and ‘hate crimes’ are!
