In the [FORMER] “Land of the Free”.
Americans are the most over-regulated, least free people on the planet.
Making a law against yelling fire in a crowded theater substitutes government restrictions for common sense. there is no harm in yelling fire, unless those that are listening refuse to think for themselves... do i see flames, do i smell smoke, do i feel heat, do i hear the roar...
it prevents debate on whether the one who yells is a complete idiot and liar... but gives the government an excuse to cull the very speech that may save people from a totalitarian regime.
He mocked them and they weren’t having it.
They are mean vicious un-American scumbags.
WOW. Had not heard this story.
“RPSO Detective Randell Iles, who was immediately assigned to investigate the post...”
There’s the problem right there. Obviously there is not enough crime in the parrish to merit a full-time detective if he can take time to “investigate” Facebook posts. Eliminate the position.
Wow. I had not heard of this.
Unbelievable.
That Schenk decision has long since been overturned.
Idiots.
“Back in March 2020, a dozen or so sheriff’s deputies wearing bullet-proof vests descended upon Waylon Bailey’s home in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, with their guns drawn, ordered him onto his knees with his hands on his head, and arrested him for a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison”
Murder someone and you get released with no bail and just promise to show up for trial. Make fun of any of the Birdbrain administration and behold 15 years in prison.
Well it wasn’t really a COVID19 joke. His “joke” was that the cops were ordered to shoot the infected on sight. I don’t that deserves a raid, but it’s definitely not going to make the cops happy. Never make a joke about cops shooting people on sight if you’re in their jurisdiction.
We need to stop these SWAT style raids. They are purely for intimidation. Where they may be necessary they should be signed off on by a judge, mayor or governor. Whichever is appropriate.
A joke is defined as anything a protected member of society says or does, including threats, slander, lying and blackmailing.
A major felony is defined as anything a White/Christian/conservative/Republican says or does, including telling jokes.
I don’t recognize this country. My grandparents sacrificed everything to come here because it was the Land of Liberty. It’s more like the Soviet Union in Gulag Archipelago.
Bkmk
” a dozen or so sheriff’s deputies wearing bullet-proof vests descended upon Waylon Bailey’s home in Rapides Parish, Louisiana...and arrested him for...a zombie-themed joke [he made] about COVID-19.”
Stuff like this is proof that the police are not your friends.
College “professors” and democrat allies openly call for the murder of whites all the time. Yet nothing.
>> the apparent joke: had told deputies to shoot “the infected” on sight, adding: “Lord have mercy on us all. #Covid9teen #weneedyoubradpitt.”
But the ironic reality:
“[deputies] with their guns drawn, ordered him onto his knees with his hands on his head, and arrested him”
which had the very high potential of resulting in a shooting death. But were it a bunch of children getting gunned down by psycho, well... how offended would the attending deputies/police be? I don’t suspect they’d be that offended.
Tell me that Facebook and the others were created to post pictures of the dog and the cat and that it was to be a fun way to keep in touch with friends and family.
Please tell me that Facebook and the others were NOT created to flush out dissenters and line them up for cancelation/suppression/nullification/blackballing/persecution/prosecution.
Please.
The Communist Party won’t be happy until this is just like China. You know where they have their 15 min worker cities.
