I'm making this to arm you with basic legal concepts that Democrats are apparently unaware of.
The context is the new Michigan hate speech law which passed the state House. There are many other similar laws being pushed, however.
This bill uses the weasel words criminalizing causing a person to "feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened."
The law tries to save itself from 1A challenges by including that it "does not include constitutionally protected activity or conduct that serves a legitimate purpose." This little trick does not work.
Laws must be clear. A law with "terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagueness_doctrine
No one knows whether speech is "constitutionally protected" or not, or "serves a legitimate purpose". Judges decide those things. These are determinations which a police officer is not qualified to make. A speaker, a "victim", a cop, a judge, or a juror "must necessarily guess at its meaning" & will "differ as to its application". Thus, all laws of this type will always be void for vagueness.
Police will routinely violate 1A rights by erring on the side of arresting everyone & letting the courts sort it out. This will chill 1A protected speech. This is the ultimate goal for the Democrats. They want people to be too scared to speak, or feel compelled to comply with liberal Newspeak out of fear of arrest.
This law, & all other "hate speech" laws, are a dagger pointed at the heart of the 1st Amendment.
The Left is openly waging war against the 1st Amendment, for exactly the reasons the 1st Amendment is intended to guard against.
Yes they do. They're that retarded.
The police already do whatever the politicians tell them to do.
Independent police is a white thing. In the African system, the police, the military, the drug enforcer are all one in the same. The concept a police chief with enough own political capital and standards to stand up to moronic city gov't barely exists any more.
I would actually like cops to answer me if they feel like they serve the jews though. Cuz it seems like it to me. I'm not sure they have a problem being mercenaries, specifically, but they often act like they are the law or whatever so you'd think they'd have some independence in them.
Not in the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and probably all if not most of the EU. Doubt it's true for most of the continental US as well.
Such as it exists. Like the county sheriffs in many based counties.
Don't worry, the Supreme Court's got your back. It'll just be 30 years.
Or, no, in 30 years there will be 19 justices and it'll be 14-5 liberal activists : actual judges, so maybe we'll just still be in jail if the holy black hasn't shived us first.
Hearing the government speak makes me feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.
Great post and I think the first time I wholly agree with you which is now making me question myself
So, if a choir of convicted pedophiles sings that they are coming for your children, that is hate speech because you rightfully feel threatened.
no, because like all these hate speech laws, the law is careful to say that it only applies if you are in one of their lib intersectional tribes:
(a) Race or color. (b) Religion. (c) Sex. (d) Sexual orientation. (e) Gender identity or expression. (f) Physical or mental disability. (g) Age. (h) Ethnicity. (i) National origin.
Coming for children fits (g).
id say so, thats one way of fighting this bullcrap. spin it back on them .
I wanted to run a 1A legal defense past someone in regards to the homeless dude that defecated on a rainbow flag. Given that courthouses and statehouses and the FUCKING White House displays the fag flag alongside the stars and stripes, are we not at the point where citizens should have the right to desecrate it as they have the right to desecrate the American flag?
Unless the left openly declares it a religious symbol (which they might), is it not clearly a political symbol now unambiguously associated with the state? Given it flies below (and sometimes above, violating legal codes) the American flag, why are we not afforded the protective right to desecrate both of them?
you can shit on a rainbow flag if its yours but not on someone else's.
"Boo!"
"You're under arrest for frightening this 4-year-old."
