Republicans in 34 states aim to crack down on protesters



Looks to me like DeSantis and the other GOP lawmakers are stepping up to bat just when the police (see Chauvin) are being sent to prison for murder. They are advocating laws that allow citizens to murder protesters and we all know that they are talking about running over black protesters not the white ones. As for standing your ground? That only applies to wypipo.

3. 1st, you game the elections. Then you make it a crime to turnout in protest.

Sounds about right for the Organized Crime Party.

6. Anti-women protesters at clinics are very threatening. I can't imagine anyone feeling safe

with a crowd of nut-jobs like that around. They murder doctors, nurses, and bomb buildings. You just never know when you see them gathered. Today could be the day they decide to kill again. Better safe than dead.

Guess it's legal to run them over with cars now.

Good to know.

Right-wing domestic terrorists are scary people. They engage in insurrection, murder people, always going around armed, you just never know when they are going to strike. If there are two or more on a corner, you know they're protesting something.

Guess it's legal to mow them down with a car now.

Good to know.

I know I don't feel safe when I see a group of right-wingers, gathered together, chanting and yelling. Always threatening violence.

Good to know there's a legal recourse.

Don't we all feel safer now?
