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.

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

Can someone point out an attack against innocent people that is not based on hate?

There is no such thing. All whites inherit racism from birth. All these years and I just finally learned that tonight.

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 it’s a neighbor you don’t 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.

“...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.

I don’t care if it’s a Trump supporter or a drug addled Democrat who is being attacked, it’s the attack that’s a crime.

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.

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!
