    Not a warning, but a absolute vision of things to come. 1984 has merely become a "how to" for the progressive left.

    We've seen this movie:
    • Declare the expression of 'White Supremacy' to be illegal
    • Declare everything you disagree with to be "White Supremacy".
    It's already illegal to violate the rights of others. Just enforce that.

    Maybe she should concentrate on getting funding to take a picture of the flag Armstrong planted on Mars

    "In 1997, while on a trip to the Mars Pathfinder operations center in California, Jackson Lee asked if the Pathfinder had succeeded in taking a picture of the flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969."

    OK first you have to make racism a crime in order to make a conspiracy to engage in it a crime.

    How do you make racism a crime? Racism is a thought, a belief no matter how right or wrong. Shall we start incriminating thoughts and beliefs we do not agree with?

    true, Conspiracy to commit a racist crime based on racism

    conspiring to murder someone is just a thought crime too, but it is a crime

    when the crime is committed, all those involved would be guilty of conspiracy

    but regardless, all laws should apply to all Americas equally, not be race based, that is the point

    for example, you could not outlaw the n-word for just white people, it would have to apply to all people if done (one can debate the constitutionality of such a law, I am just saying how all laws should be written)

    Off topic, but I hope Trump IS President again, but I don't believe he will be. Or any other Republican.

    It doesn't take a lot of George Floyd, Philando Castile, the paper carriers show while delivering papers, the cases of those successfully detained who subsequently show up dead in the system and the many other cases to create a major divide between a population and its police force.

    And, there are NUMEROUS such cases.

    When the police force can not earn the trust and respect of the population it serves, then there really is no way for it to succeed.

    Zimmerman had no idea concerning priors. That can not be used as a vindication of Zimmerman's predatory action against a black man he saw.

    Trayvon was walking back from a convenience store. THAT is what he was guilty of doing - that and being black.

    It was your claim. I know it was not true, the bill says no such thing.

    I won't because what you claimed is not there.

    Listen bro, prove me wrong. Copy and past the portion you said existed. I know it did not, you know it did not, everyone watching your posts knows it does not, so hell, put out or get out.

    It doesnt take a lot because the media amplifies the incidences involving black victims while remaining relatively silent when the victims are white. It merely creates the perception that cops are out there killing blacks because they are black. Thats the intent

    There's a reason you are incapable of quoting it. We've read your posts. We see.

    Actually he was guilty of assault and battery, sitting on top of George pummeling him "MMA style" . Walking back from the store with candy and a soda was the false propaganda.

    a couple of issues doesn’t a problem make. If you think the police need the respect of criminals, think again.
    If sone blacks don’t want to respect the police that’s still fine. But it doesn’t give them the right to resist arrest on a regular basis and run from officers while committing crimes. Something they do more than anyone else, they even brag about it in music.
    Law enforcement succeeds because good people support them, and no one cares about the fblm loosers.

    tratra was dressed in thug gear and that’s it. You have no way of knowing what Zimmerman was thinking and cannot project that on him.
    At no point did anything Zimmerman do warrant being attacked and pummeled. That’s why he was found not guilty. And we as a world won that day.

    To police effectively, the POLICE have to have the trust and respect of the population they police.

    Today there is a price being paid by dark skinned people for simply walking down the street.

    Exactly. Zimmerman hunted him down because of factors of skin color and dress.

    Excellent, show me a few thousand of them.... or even few hundred.... I don't think NUMEROUS means what you think it does.

    Here is an example. Numerous black people were murdered in Milwaukee by other black people last year. Few black people were killed in Milwaukee by police last year. It would be nice if the progressives running Milwaukee pretended to give a damn about the numerous blacks killed by other blacks each year.

    Neither have most people who reference it. Hell, most of them don't even know it was written by a socialist.

    It probably isn't realistic or needed. Conspiracy to commit a crime is already a crime. And we already have hate crimes, so conspiracy to commit X crime and it's also a hate crime plus the crime itself seems like enough, if it's say a murder or rape or assault, to put someone behind bars. As far as it being a free speech issue, I mean you can't conspire to commit a crime. Simply being a white supremacist isn't a crime no matter how repugnant and effing stupid it is. So if one were to challenge it, that would be my guess as to how they probably would do it.
