Florida GOP Declares War On The First Amendment to ‘Combat Anti-Semitism’
Опубликовано: Wednesday, 08 March 2023 06:32

“The Free State of Florida” is set to have the most oppressive hate crime laws in America in order to “combat anti-Semitism.”

“There is no First Amendment right to conduct,” Jewish Florida State Rep. Randy Fine told the media earlier this week. “If you graffiti a building, it is a crime now, but if your motivation is hate, it will be a third-degree felony and you will spend five years in prison. If you want to litter, it’s a crime right now, but if you litter and your motivation is a hate crime, it will be a third-degree felony and you will spend 5 years in jail.”

The bill was put forward by the GOP to silence the “Goyim Defense League” who’ve been sharing anti-Semitic flyers in Florida neighborhoods and holding up anti-Semitic banners over bridges which are critical of Jews.

"Based" Desantis just got your first amendment rights revoked. Anti-semitism hate speech laws about to be passed in Florida.

Am I reading this right?

If Florida HB 269 is passed, someone who makes fun of another person’s clothes if they are considered “ethnic or religious” can be arrested & charged with a THIRD DEGREE FELONY AND HATE CRIME!

What if it is simply here say? What is the burden of proof? pic.twitter.com/yH9hGkQrmo
