Why would anyone support 5A ?

[Glennfs]

Why would anyone support 5A ?

Also number 6 (no pun intended) is suspect. But, that is liberals for you. Protect the criminal because, today's criminal is tomorrow's democratic voter

Why would anyone oppose 5A?

This is known as a pink tax in that two products used by both men and women are charged different prices. For example, it costs more for a women to have her clothes dry cleaned than it does for a man.

As for your comment "Protect the criminal because, today's criminal is tomorrow's democratic voter" we're not trying to protect you or have you become a democratic voter. That's just the ranting of the ignorant.

[gounion]

Why would anyone support 5A ?

Why would you go after rape victims for other crimes?

Bullshit. Just remember that Donald Trump wanted to pardon all his voters that attacked our nation on Jan 6th.

The GOP is a criminal enterprise.

Hilarious projection.

Not only are you in threads defending Trump for his huge pile of criminal behavior, you defend J6 politicians and vote for seditionists, then brag about committing fraud on your resume and taxes.

Absolute hilarity.

If this list is accurate, they sound like just about the least controversial new laws I've seen in this state in a long time. Usually there's at least one real hooter. Not this year.

The hysteria over any of them would reflect badly on the person making the objection. In fact, it would be just about the dumbest thing I've ever read on this board, in all the years it's existed, and there are a lot of those.

These new laws seem reasonable. The only one I think that would need some limits on is free phone calls for prisoners. I think the purpose of this was to prevent telephone companies with prison contracts charging outrageous rates. Prisoners should be allowed a certain number of calls per month to family members and friends and no limits on the number of calls to their lawyers.

However, there will be at least one member on this board who will get hysterical over one or more of the laws because that's what Fox News told him to do.

[Glennfs]

Why would you go after rape victims for other crimes?

Why would you ignore a criminal because they were raped.

[Glennfs]

Why would anyone oppose 5A?

Because if the DNA makes them a suspect in a crime it and thry should be investigated.
Why would you want a criminal to walk free because they were raped.

Questioning any laws passed by big brother even those which let criminals get away with crimes is hysterical......right

That makes sense as long as it isn't exploited by ambulance chasers. Fyi I am not and have never been a criminal. I fund it hilarious that you become hysterical about that comment while being ok with the things said and adjectives used by some liberals here while describing conservatives

Said by the guy who thinks Trump should get away with coup attempts.

[Glennfs]

Said by the guy who thinks Trump should get away with coup attempts.

Says the guy who believes a serial killer should stay on the streets.

[ProfX]

Protecting civil liberties is the opposite of "Big Brother".

Even accused criminals have them, something you'll one day understand if you're falsely accused of a crime.

Protection of the DNA from people who may have committed a crime because they were a victim of a crime is wrong.
Does that law apply to all victims of crime or just rape victims. Either way it is a dumb law.

Just the victims. But without such a law rape victims don’t come forward. Which allows the rapist to keep raping. Such is right-wing logic.

So rape victims are serial killers?

[Number6]

Because if the DNA makes them a suspect in a crime it and thry should be investigated.
Why would you want a criminal to walk free because they were raped.

If you use a rape victim's DNA against them in another case then you're discouraging them from reporting the crime of rape which only enables rapists to further exploit rape victims. This is like the law not disclosing the immigration status in court which allows undocumented immigrants to testify in court without fear of ICE or other law enforcement agencies arresting them.

You've admitted you've kept two separate driving logs for you truck which is illegal or are you going to claim it's only illegal if you're caught/

glenn, you should remember the advice you father gave you long ago when he said "Shut the Fuck Up!"

[gounion]

Let serial killers walk free such is liberal logic.

Look, Glenn, if you’re arrested as a suspect of a crime, it’s reasonable to get DNA. But if you’re stopped for speeding, should you have to give your DNA? Or if you report a crime, should you have to give your DNA?

You tell me.

Apples meet oranges
But, I will answer your stupid question.

If you are driving drunk and run a stop sign hit my car and the hospital for some reason had to take a sample of my DNA. If that DNA is found to make me a suspect in a crime then I should be arrested.

BTW from the dijaknow file. The government took my fingerprints back in 1981 when I obtained my liquor license.
The government dud a background check on me after 911 when I applied for a HazMat permit.
According to you if I go out now and commit a crime the government should not be allowed to use those prints or background information against me.

Such is liberal logic
