I’d be lion if I said that wasn’t a good point.

...Or ever holding them accountable. At all.

when you posses a head that’s comprised of 36% hair and 62% pressed luncheon meat, there’s not a lot of room left over for apparatus capable of nuanced or rational thought.

Yup. Considering assault against LEOs/other emergency workers is already a serious felony and far more punishable crime in just about every state, this law’s only purpose seems to be “protecting” these groups against things like targeted vandalism, graffiti, et al. Ya know, because when some dumbass teen spray paints…

civilian kills cop: hate crime. huge increase in sentencing.

Ignoring the ramifications of a country flooded with guns should be a hate crime.

this was sort of going to be my comment. it’s already more of a crime to assault/kill a police officer than a civilian...so like...why this bill?

To the people who want add extra penalties to people for attacking civil authorites... I am willing to abide this law, if you are also willing to add extra penalties to civil authorites who break the laws.

This isn’t what hate crime legislation was created for. Police and Firefighters are not a marginalized class, so there is no need to protect them as one.

But what about LEO-on-LEO violence???

So instead of just “resisting arrest” like Sandra Bland, the arresting officer could have accused her of a hate crime, too?

Shouldn’t Louisiana maybe work on their godawful budget issues instead of this shitty pandering to cops?

Doesn’t that lower the penalty for a crime against an officer, which is already pretty steep? Or is this to add charges when the defendant didn’t know it was an officer?

And it was so fucking necessary to steal Black Lives Matter for Blue Lives Matter. That tells you what they’re really retaliating against right there.

Absolutist person is absolutist.

I’m actually a fan— I think themes are generally stupid, but they actually made it look pretty damn beautiful and not super tacky.

There’s always someone on posts like this talking about thrifty (i.e. superior) they were at their wedding but I’ve got you all beat: not getting married saves SO much money!

I want a Deadpool themed wedding.

I don’t know how to else to describe how happy this makes me without sounding like a fucking idiot so I’ll just say this.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Inflammatory exaggerator exaggerates.
