Oh, horseflop.
By law, hunting is legal. By law, hunter harassment is illegal.
There is nothing political about it.

This is a climate where people are punished for their political beliefs," she said, calling the Alliance "non-violent and peaceful." How terrible!! Those poor people. They deserve better. A more understanding place like Cuba or Venzuala would be more suited to people of such refinement.

An Arab animal makes that statement to people with guns!
He should have been shot on the spot!

If anti-hunting activists were in Florida and aggressively went after a hunter, can he shoot him under their new law?

"This is a climate where people are punished for their political beliefs,"
That standard could just as easily be used by the hunters. The hunters are being harassed for their political belief in the right to hunt.

Hmmmmm, Harrass a woman and see how many days you get in jail... Depend's on the nature of the harassment. If you simply require her to wear a tent all day and don't allow her to drive, don't let her go to school, the feminists won't raise a peep.

Also, 40 days and fines, how significant to her I don't know, are reasonable. But I like the judge's attitude.
I am not going to lecture, because I don't believe in that, but it is clear that she doesn't get the point. She is allowed to express her political viewpoints. She can protest and she can write letters. She can contact her congressmen. But she can't break the law

I'm sorry for the second ping, but I failed to highlight the quote. That's a great idea.

It occurred to some legislator in advance to pass a law against jumping into a bear trap?? It probably is against the law to interfere with a legally set trap.
