I don’t blame Tennessee’s Gov. Bill Lee for signing this bill into law. He increased punishments against those engaging in the type of mayhem seen in Portland, Seattle, and Chicago, some of which include the loss of voting rights. Yes, you can bet the liberal media, Democrats, and the American Civil Liberties Union is going to be immensely triggered by this law. Oh wait; the ACLU state chapter already responded saying, “We are very disappointed in Governor Lee’s decision to sign this bill, which chills free speech, undermines criminal justice reform and fails to address the very issues of racial justice and police violence raised by the protesters who are being targeted” (via The Hill):
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) quietly signed a bill into law ramping up punishments for certain kinds of protests, including losing the right to vote.
The GOP-controlled state General Assembly passed the measure last week during a three-day special legislative session and was signed without an announcement earlier this week.
Among other things, the new law stipulates that people who illegally camp on state property will face a Class E felony, punishable by up to six years in prison. People found guilty of a felony in Tennessee lose the right to vote.
The new law also slaps a mandatory 45-day sentence for aggravated rioting, boosts the fine for blocking highway access to emergency vehicles and enhances the punishment for aggravated assault against a first responder to a Class C felony.
Look, this leftist mayhem that’s engulfed the nation that was intentionally suppressed from being mentioned at the Democratic National Convention—no shocker there—has to end. It’s been weeks of this nonsense, and it’s no longer about race, police reform, or George Floyd, the man at the center of this officer-involved fatality by the Minneapolis Police that set off this new wave of left-wing activism. It’s not about Black Lives Matter anymore. It’s about Marxist revolution. Hoe does threatening to blow up federal buildings have anything to do with furthering police reform, which many in the media said this was all about? Yes, federal buildings in Portland had to be evacuated Friday due to car bomb threats. It’s time to put the mob down. Federal agents were deployed to protect these buildings, as they have every right to do so and enforce law and order. The media smeared them as the SS-Gestapo. Withdraw and calm will reign, they said. That didn’t happen. The left-wing mob is now taking this nonsense to the suburbs.
Law and order must be restored.
Wanna stop this crap? Cops should be using their batons cracking heads and cattle prods to persuade the feral animals to disperse. Then zip-tie the terrorists and take them to detention camps in the desert. IMO
About damn time people woke up to the facts!
PS: IGNORE THE GODDAMN JUDGES IN THE LAWSUITS, HOW MANY DIVISIONS DO THEY HAVE?
“...The left-wing mob is now taking this nonsense to the suburbs...”
They will scare someone in the suburbs with their chants and rioting and the lead will fly...
I really believe they start messing with people’s homes and the shooting will start....
WORK camps. Don’t let ‘em sit on their asses.
Nah. Putting holes in a few of them.
Really bad headline.
The law applies to everyone, not just leftists.
Felons are too dumb to vote. Taking that right away is like taking away Bill Clinton’s law license.
Or yelling “Wake up MFer” outside of either of the following:
1) A residence where the occupant has to sleep a few hours and wake up EVERYDAY between 2AM and 4AM to go to his/her job of delivering food to the population.
2) A residence where a wife and husband just finished getting an infant quiet after 3 hours of crying and exhausted wife & husband are FINALLY able to get a few hour of sleep.
It won’t be long before the screamers will get what they want and a REALLY ticked off person will greet them accordingly.
Yup 230 gr jhp for close in work, or rooftop sourced 5.56.
This is criminal justice reform — in the correct direction.
SPJNK.
I’ve long advocated for a national hog farm out in the NV desert, a combination of work farm/penal colony/Muzzie re-education camp. Bit, NOOOOOO! Can’t do that!
Why would you inflict that trash on us desert dwellers? What did we ever do to you?
If they are convicted of a felony such as arson or murder their voting rights are removed automatically, so I’m not sure what this bill will accomplish.
It’s all the weed, man! It’s marijuana induced psychosis! Reefer madness! It’s not their fault! The weed makes them do it!
Water cannons do double duty, remove the protester and clean-up at the same time.
TN has no desert...
Oh please lend us a piece of your desert...
Don’t be a meanie...
