He's a bootlicker. Just ignore him

It also bans charitable organizations from paying more than $5000 in bail.

For violent felonies, it doesn't allow them to pay bail at all.

Which means anyone could provoke anyone to violence and they would be jailed with no hope of escape. Including ostensibly a homeless person by destroying their stuff.

And this is why we don't obey the law.

And section 17 of the bill defines camping as setting up camping equipment anywhere outside of designated areas for any reason.

SECTION 17. A NEW SECTION OF KRS CHAPTER 511 IS CREATED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

(1) For purposes of this section:

(a) "Camp" means to pitch, erect, or occupy camp facilities, or to use camp paraphernalia;

(b) "Camp facilities" means structures for the use of camping, including but not limited to tents, huts, temporary shelters, and vehicles; and

( c ) "Camp paraphernalia" means items used for camping purposes, including but not limited to cots, beds, sleeping bags, and hammocks.

(2) A person is guilty of unlawful camping when he or she knowingly enters or remains on a public or private street, sidewalk, area under a bridge or underpass, path, park, or other area designated for use by pedestrians or vehicles, including areas used for ingress or egress to businesses, homes, or public buildings, with the intent to sleep or camp in that area, when the area has not been designated for the purpose of sleeping or camping or the individual lacks authorization to sleep or camp in the area.

(3) Unlawful camping is a:

(a) Violation for the first offense; and

(b) Class B misdemeanor for the second and each subsequent offense, or if during the first offense the individual refuses to cease the offense.

(4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the customary and temporary use of recreational camping areas, rest areas, or other properties that are specifically designated for purposes of resting or sleeping

So anyone could just set up a tent somewhere and be jailed or shot. Prop for a photo or movie? Shot. Shade tent in a park at your family's 4th of July barbecue? Shot. Protesters setting up tents just to piss off the cops? Believe it or not, shot.

And now the projection starts.

Tell you what. I'll just block you now and you waste my time again never.

The more sinister aspects of the law are sections 18 and 19 which enable them to corral homeless people into basically concentration camps.

They'll jail people who sleep at rest stops, too. :(

Feel free to waste your time beating up that strawman all you like; the rest of us have actual important shit to do.

Concentration camps for homeless people

😡😡😡 🤦🤦🤦

This is not a state vs. federal issue. This is fucking genocide.

This is the start of Stage 8 of the ten stages of genocide.

🤦🤦🤦 😡😡😡

Your point is irrelevant, because it is a fundamental misrepresentation of the situation you are imposing because you have an ideological agenda. One which we will not be bullied or manipulated into submitting to.

You're not even really reading or thinking about what I'm saying, you're just repeating what you said before like a robot. And I don't argue with robots.

It doesn't matter if it's your point or not, it's still a wrong-headed way of thinking about the situation because the world doesn't revolve around fearing what Republicans will do if a Democrat pardons a righteous man. He should be pardoned regardless.

You are creating the us vs. them situation you're accusing you opponent of engaging in specifically by making that argument. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We do not simply stop doing what is right because some assholes might pardon evil people in retaliation. We do what is right regardless, because that's the whole point of righteousness.

Republicans will pardon their own anyway so it doesn't even matter. We need to do the same.

Congratulations my guy
