A new bill filed by Florida State Sen. Lauren Book would criminalize picketing or protesting near an abortion clinic. Violators would be charged with a second-degree misdemeanor, which carries a maximum fine of $500 and up to 60 days in jail.

@Proud Redneck:
Totally agree, as a matter of fact Book’s been filing quite a few “waste of time and money bills” which Book knows, Passadomo knew, and the incomimg Senate President knows will never pass into law.
Yeah I understand the prosess and that Book has the 100% right to be an idiot… yada yada yada…but hopefully the new Senate President can slip up behind Book and put a leash of some sort on her to discourage the waste of The Citizens of Florida’s time and money.
May not ever happen but whats important here is that Snidely feels better for having complained about it.
“A new bill filed by Florida State Sen. Lauren Book would criminalize picketing or protesting near an abortion clinic.”
Of course, it will never be made law in 2024 but what is this infatuation with abortion and talking about sex with children Democrats have?
Over the Years, there has been a few times that I almost hit a bicyclist and if it were not for the Fact that I was the one paying attention, I would have hit them. It’s funny how they all said that I am supposed to watch out for THEM, not the other way around. A couple ran Stop Signs right in front of me, another time, I was passing a group, totally went into the On-Coming Lane to give THEM plenty of room, and a guy decided to shoot way out into the On-Coming Lane right in front of me to pass a buddy with out checking behind him. bicyclists do not get enough Tickets.
Please print the Names of the Students for a Democratic Society and for the Tallahassee Community Action.
@August, I think the Hamas sympathizers and supporters are currently comprised of those that hate the Jews, but also those that are anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-American, anti-western civilization. That would explain the seemingly strange alliances you have observed. I believe that is also why the students are bringing race into the argument – the Jews are the white people of the Middle East.
Perhaps, as a country, we are the stupid ones. We’re certainly the self-loathing and self-defeating ones.
Also, how do we know that these universities are not taxpayer and donor scams? Let’s have some transparency and accountability. In the meantime, I don’t want to hear about any more funding requests from these institutions.
50 years ago I had some idea what the SDS was all about. A couple of my friends had joined the group (I didn’t), and were mostly secretive about it. The group turned out not really be what was “advertised” and the guys left it.
That the SDS would today take the antisemitic position supporting Hamas makes me ask not only “what do they want today?” but “what have they ever really been about?”
There’s a lesbian couple on my street with “free Palestine” stickers on their cars. If someone were to drop those two godless nitwits into Gaza they would immediately be thrown off the top of the only building left standing in the wretched place. Most people are just stupid… and it’s getting worse.
I’d love to know the names of the members of “Students for a Democratic Society and the Tallahassee Community Action at FSU” so I can properly prepare for a future were I make sure they are NEVER hired into a position that would impact me or my community.
Pro hamas…pro nazi. No difference.
