Michigan is criminalizing opinions

[Dutch Uncle]

You should stop believing the lies of the Democrats

You should go to church more and work on becoming an actual Christian.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

You should stop believing the lies of the Democrats

You should probably stop listening to the voices inside your head.

This is coming the Democrats throwing you in jail if you disagree with them just like a banana republic

So Michigan has discarded it's constitution. This violates Article I, $5 of that constitution.

The Nazis have nothing on Americas democrats

BS look at the source

The Michigan House records? What's wrong with this source?

Biden has been trying to do this for 2 years

That he has. He also denies the Constitution governing him.

Hate crimes bill passes the Michigan House; Republicans voice concerns over speech

Michigan House OKs new hate crime, institutional desecration penalties

New MI law can make hurting someone’s feelings punishable by up to 5 years in prison
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/0...unishable-by-up-to-5-years-in-prison-1371726/

So yes, Michigan is codifying into law that if you hurt someone's feelings with speech, you have committed a felony and can go to prison for years.

Which is in direct violation of the Michigan State constitution Article I, $5.

I would agree with you if they were punishing pure speech. I had not read the proposed law until you posted it. This law does not appear to punish speech but actions--intimidation, causing bodily injury, using force or violence..........

It does not make hate speech illegal. It makes already criminal conduct a hate crime. Hate crime and hate speech are not the same.

"[FONT="]intimidates or harasses another individual; causes bodily injury or severe mental anguish to another individual; uses force or violence on another individual; damages, destroys, or defaces any real, personal, digital, or online property of another individual; or threatens, by word or act, to do any of the above-described actions, if the person, regardless of the existence of any other motivating factors, [/FONT]intentionally targets the individual or engages in the action based in whole or in part on any of the following actual or perceived characteristics of another individual:"

All of the above refer to acts, not speech (except maybe the threat portion).

You know, you really should at least read the bill before making a stupid post like this.

I do believe that making threats of physical harm are included in the definition of assault. It does, with certain conditions, in Michigan:

Contextomy fallacy. Go read the bill.

Dude, it's called hotair.com for a reason.

It's nothing but a bunch of hot air.

Michigan House Bill 4474 is not just 'hot air'. It really exists. It really passed the House.

Illegal to hurt someone's feelings?
That sounds like legislation passed in Florida and Texas and Arkansas and Oklahoma and Idaho and .....

Throwing you in jail if you disagree with them just like a banana republic

Specify. Please refer to the so-called law you are claiming these States have that do this.

 

[Into the Night]

I see you are practicing.

Fuck your feelings. Redefining English isn't going to work.

 

[Into the Night]

Keep practicing. You can only get better.

I said nothing about laws requiring the right gender pronoun. I wasn't talking about pronouns when I pointed out that multiple Red states have passed laws making opinions illegal.

Paradox. Irrational.

 

[Into the Night]

More hyperbolic bullshit from the right. The law, in part, reads “a “willful course of conduct, involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested.”


Key words - willful, repeated, continuous and (very important) reasonable person.


So, here’s the simple solution, morons.

LEAVE PEOPLE THE FUCK ALONE.

Go read the bill, dumbass. It's Michigan House Bill 4474.

 

[Into the Night]

It seems you are determined to keep practicing every minute of every day.

He doesn't need practice. Fuck your feelings.

 

[Into the Night]

I don't want you to stop practicing. Eventually, you will achieve the level of stupidity you are striving for.

Paradox. Irrational.

Well, apparently in Michigan they do. I suspect that sort of law will now crop up in other blue states as well.

And in every single one that does, they will be violating their constitution. Every State constitution has a clause similar to Michigan's Article I, $5.

The failed elite class could not care less....Old America is over.

$5, Spanky?
