We continue to see rabid Repugnuts stretching to destroy DEMOCRACY as the founding fathers designed it in our country. In his quest to be king and Rs absolute need now to rig elections, they have put forth a bill to kill the right to peaceful assembling to express an opinion they don't like. It's another form of gerrymandering that their hold on government continues. That's even tho they have demonstrated that they have little ,if any, ability to govern. This comment is made easier by the ability to accomplish anything of substance with the present full house of Repugnuts

If you thought your rights are protected in the USA, think again. There are lawmakers who are working hard to under-handedly take them away. Sixteen states have proposed bills that would criminalize peaceful protests. This is a worrying trend that may result in fatal blows to our rights and freedom to peacefully protest, assemble, and express our opinions and voices.

It is so concerning, that even the United Nations has weighed in on the trend. In an unprecedented move, representatives from the UN have sent a letter to the US government offering a strong condemnation for proposed legislation in sixteen states that is meant to limit peaceful protest.

The letter, penned by David Kaye, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and Maina Kiai, Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, claims that if passed, these bills would be incompatible with US obligations under international human rights law.
The UK-published Independent reported on the the letter, and covered the specifics of the proposed legislation in each state. In the the states of Tennessee and Florida, the bills would exempt drivers from liability if they accidentally hit and even killed a pedestrian participating in a protest.

Highlighting issues of semantics, the said, There can be no such thing in law as a violent protest. There are violent protesters, who should be dealt with individually and appropriately by law enforcement. One person's decision to resort to violence does not strip other protesters of their right to freedom of peaceful assembly. This right is not a collective right; it is held by each of us individually. Peaceful assembly is a fundamental right, not a privilege, and the government has no business imposing a general requirement that people get permission before exercising that right.

Great news: trump jr. caught colluding with Putin operative after lying about it twice.
Conspiracy and pay for pay on the table for 3 major trumpettes or frumpfkins. They are nailed and so is Frumpfass bc of his being a control freak.

You are a moron, but we all knew that anyway. The reason that people get permission for protests, numbnuts, is not to deny the practice, but to make sure it doesn't interfere with normal affairs and emergency actions. You have the right to protest; you have no right to disrupt or damage other people's businesses and personal property; nor do you have the right to assemble in such a manner as to block or impede emergency vehicles.
Every time I think you can't get any stupider, you up and surprise me.
