Deputize the citizentry to use non-lethal force and indemnify them for any bodily harm that might result. Open season with red paintballs and rubber bullets. Fun!

The whole issue is rather moot, because, as a misdemeanor offense police couldn’t enforce it. The value is such that the perpetrators/artists couldn’t be jailed.

Misdemeanor offenses that can’t be enforced? Couldn’t they still be fined? Punished in some manner?

There is a political solution to leftist judges like this. Republicans are too pussy to propose it and win enough seats to implement it.

“Here, the Ordinance plainly targets expressive speech in a real and substantial way that infringes on Plaintiffs’ First Amendment right to free expression..”

So now go do this idiot judge’s house. See if that changes his tune.

I wish I lived close enough to tag the front of the judge’s house.

I don’t really agree. Appearances are deceiving, the intent is to make us feel marginalized, small, insignificant, and alone in our views - but we are not. I’d argue the majority believes this crap is nuts.

Without a doubt though, America is under attack from anything and everything that could be considered as an inside attack vector. A world without the USA is a world that will crumble. Does anyone doubt that China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc.. wouldn’t launch chaos on the world?

I believe we will come through this but things will probably have to get worse before they become so intolerable for all that things will swing the other way.

Next will be homeowners and business owners prosecuted for removing graffiti from their properties.

“So it sounds to me like the judge is arguing that the law is too broad because it doesn’t allow for chalking. Of course, anyone who has paid attention to the graffiti in Seattle over the past couple years knows that’s not really the issue. The issue is leftist’s paining anti-police slogans on everything.”

If the law is overly broad so as to criminalize a child drawing with chalk on the sidewalk, then the law is invalid. If Seattle wants to stop graffiti, then they need to go back to the drawing board and write a statute that criminalizes what they actually want to stop.
