Someday we’re gonna learn to stop giving jobs as “judges” to cookie and sandwich makers! Geez.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Just part of the socialists' removal of freedoms.
Can't have comedians being funny.

Which proves Marxism is a cancer on our species.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Sarcasm is illegal in North Korea. I thought that was extreme, but then there’s this.

[Bob434]

When words become illegal, tyrants can make up whatever they want to oppress the opposition. Th3y can make claims without having to show proof (ie “someone reported that he said such and such, therefore he is guilty”)

Everyone becomes subject to the subjective whims of the oppressors.

[No name given]

Yes, that’s true.

[BenLurkin]

"Freedom of expression cannot be used as an excuse to make hateful, prejudiced, and discriminatory remarks."

In other words -- there is no freedom of expression.

[Kazan]

Coming soon to Britain, Germany and France.

“”I don’t think there’s a group he didn’t make fun of,” the comedian jokingly told Blaze News.”

Fair and balanced.

Right. And for folks who think it can’t happen here, it can happen here.

Just look at the UK today. They had a long history of respecting free speech. No longer. Say or post the wrong thing, and off to jail you go.

A couple of years ago, an autistic UK girl said that a female UK cop looked like a lesbian. The girl was arrested. And pretty damn quick.

It’s starting to take root here as well.
Hate speech. Hate crimes. Banned words.

[Jeff Chandler]

Brazil nuts.

[DiogenesLamp]

Judge Iseppi added, "Freedom of expression cannot be used as an excuse to make hateful, prejudiced, and discriminatory remarks."

This judge is an evil dictatorial creep and she needs the sh*t kicked out of her for being anti-freedom.

Nobody cares about hurt feelings. Freedom of Speech is far more important than people getting their feelings hurt.

Judge Barbara de Lima Iseppi

She should be immediately subject to maximum U.S. sanctions, along with the judge that ordered the arrest of Tommy Robinson.

[Twotone]

It would be nice to have video of these anti-speech judges cracking a nasty joke, so they could be taken down in the same way.

[Husker24]

Coming soon? It’s been there for a while.

As we know all too well stolen elections have consequences.
