were do you people find these sites geez

[Slidewayzz]

who cares where the article came from, you can look up the information anywhere. More importantly- shouldn't you be more upset this law actually passed?

[Dozyproductions]

Haha, its funny when people see politics in terms of democrat verse republican. But this law is chilling via the point they made from that link that they could just assign the 'SS' anywhere and they're presence is all you would need to get thrown in jail. Fuck Fascist America.

Jail time is for those who cause bodily harm or carry a weapon in a government building or a designated area under which ether is designated for government use or SS protection. So you can no longer practice free speech if the president is holding a rally and you want to say that he isn't fresh as fuck anymore.

[joshh]

Just protecting the president from the pending doom from the American people is all.

How are we supposed to know where the Secret Service is working at any given moment? Don't be an idiot and say they only work around the President.

Oh look another bull shit thread.

Gaurding the pres is the least the ss does

‘‘§ 1752. Restricted building or grounds

‘‘(2) knowingly, and with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions, engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted building or grounds when, or so that, such conduct, in fact, impedes or disrupts the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions;

‘‘(2) the term ‘other person protected by the Secret Service’ means any person whom the United States Secret Service is authorized to protect under section 3056 of this title or by Presidential memorandum, when such person has not declined such protection.’’.

these things were already illegal. where does it say you cant legally protest? where? it only says you cannot trespass which is illegal, it says you cannot impede goverment proceedings, which is already illegal.. it says you cant violently attack or threaten people.. which is already illegal. it says you cant have a wookie for a pet, which is already illegal



bullshit thread gotten from fear mongering right wing nut job website is bullshit



now about that other part


you are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor.

[Dozyproductions]

You're missing the picture. They have the authority to deem any protest as a disturbance of regular function.

yes but thats not what the law says, it has to be a disturbance of an official government function, they can arrest anyone without cause for 48 hours already why dont all of you go bitch about that?

oh wait :hitler: didnt know about that?



look, i dont like the law, i think its asinine as it doesnt change anything it only gives them a new name to call old crimes while they arrest your for disturbing the peace of attacking and threatening people. its like walking on the street not shouting at people, you do it every day but when there is a law made up its a HUGE deal and now you want to shout at people, even though it was already technically illegal.

it over bureaucracy, not and over reach of government power

[110stx]

You don't consider the credibility of your source of information?

You don't see how a severe bias might taint the "information" published?

I'm not arguing with you or asking for answers, necessarily, just asking.

I don't see anything wrong with this law as stated before its a new name for old laws, if you jump a police barrier at a regular protest you get arrest. This law just makes the consequence more intense. I am pretty sure you can protest and yell and shout all you want from across the street of the perimeter set up by the Secret Service.

I'm more upset about the lack of public knowledge of this bill before it was passed as law. Maybe its because the so called "news" stations are bitching and expressing their opinions about limbaugh calling a woman a slut. LOL. TV news program are garbage, they're all political Oprah's and Jerry Springers.

Havent you been on this forum long enough to know that we have? Why would you be happy about this because it is another over reach of power. The confines of the law are too broad, once again
