We’re the Only Ones Unsigning Enough
“Friend was violating no law by standing on the sidewalk and displaying his sign, and [Police Sgt. Richard] Gasparino had no lawful reason to order him to desist from that conduct,” the appeals court ruled. [More]
If he wanted to engage in police-approved speech in Stamford, he should have become a paid gunsnitch.
That said, it’s probably unfair for me to judge Sgt. Gasparino until I’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.
Kinda helps explain why Connecticut is so hot for unending citizen disarmament schemes…

Wrong Thinking is Punishable
“Under Washington state law, residents will now be classified as domestic terrorists if they protest school board meetings, Drag Queen Story Hour Events, and the outcome of elections… These include being anti-mask, anti-vaccine, anti-critical race theory, questioning election results, and calling the LGBTQ community “groomers.” [More]

Keep Your Shirt On
The complaint alleges that in Sept. 2022, just two days after A.B.’s teacher, Tom Griffin, covered students’ free speech rights in government class, A.B. was suspended from school for wearing a shirt that said “What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ do you not understand?” and featured an image of a rifle. [More]
Actually, this whole business of compulsory public education seems ripe for Bill of Rights challenges. The government, instituted among men to secure the Blessings of Liberty, is teaching our Posterity to be suspects and inmates, whose bodies are the property of the state, rather than sovereign Citizens.
And ol’ Tom sounds like a real piece of…work.

I guess this tells us which weaponized “cause” the destroyers find more effective. And we’re getting a preview of which idiots will be expendable first once they’re no longer useful.
Case in point: If the choice is between environmentalcases and “immigrants,” guess who gets priority and why, and for how long.
