Funny, governor selfie is protected...

:: include the same penalty for anyone inciting violence due to someone’s “race, religious convictions, color, sexual orientation, or national origin” ::

Personally, I’d be able to accept that change since those that oppose the “queer” agenda do so WITHOUT violence. It’s the “queers” who devolve into violent means at these ‘protests’.

I don’t like such “some are more equal than others” laws.

[NorthMountain]

Proof that democRATs hate police.

[rlmorel]

This is a simple ploy, nothing else.

Because liberals include anything such as saying “I disagree with homosexuality/affirmative action/name it” as inciting violence, this is a poison pill.

[Gen.Blather]

In many places ANY opposition is labeled violence. To the left the meaning of words is what they want them to mean. Allowing the changes the governor wanted could result in adverse consequences for Conservatives.

We already have laws for protection of police and firefighter etc. What good are new laws when we don’t enforce existing laws.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

So, play the Alinsky card!

Agree to the change and let the ‘violent protesters’ convict themselves. Let the local constabulary make arrests [while providing a few hickory-shampoos] and see what happens.

Sort of a “kill them all and let God sort them out” concept.

[SaxxonWoods]

You’ve got to be desperate to take a police position in any city these days. Cops should quit until they are properly protected by policy and law.

[Socon-Econ]

How about mob violence against opposing political views?

[rlmorel]

I see this stuff, and people like the scumbag McAuliffe using this tactic, and I am more and more in favor or the “Let God sort them out” approach.

I am sick to bloody death of Leftists.

#carpetbagger.

“We already have laws for protection of police and firefighter etc. What good are new laws when we don’t enforce existing laws.”

This is virtue signalling to get them re-elected. There are many laws on the books to protect government workers.

[CJ Wolf]

how did we get a clinton carpet bagger from Syracuse to be our gov.

Terry McAuliffe Clinton, what piece of criminal excrement
