Give them all the Joe Arpaio treatment

Most folks are familiar with Sheriff Joe. He has been known for his tough on crime stance and his tent city for almost as long as the internet has had Yahoo. That is not what I am referencing today, although a tent city prison for the folks I am ranting about would be in order.
Joe recently made the news when he was shanghaied by a feral err federal judge in Arizona for contempt. The judge and persecutor lowered the charges to misdemeanors so as to deny him a jury trial.
I say what is good for the goose is good for the gander, and by gander I mean the antifa thugs and their keepers all the way up to Governor Terry McAweful. If there were 1,000 Unite the right people there, that would mean 1,000 charges of simple assault for each and every counter protester. As for governor goofy, accessory to assault, or some such charge that is applicable.
That would mean it would be a bench trial. Upon conviction, 15 days in the local pokey on each count to run consecutively.
Looks like Joe's tent city should be needed in Virginia. Won't happen, you know it, but we can dream. Meanwhile America is turning into a nightmare.

Please don't take my previous comment as support of lawful permit holders ideology. Take it as support of free speech for all, no matter how vile!

Mike, as Don Surer puts it, agreeable speech doesn't require protection. It is the alternative voice, the guy who does not march to the tune of the masses.
I disagree whole hardheartedly with the KKK and neo nazi's. I want their voice heard though. I want it all heard because when the time comes and people are thinking about joining them, it is best if the people know exactly what is in store for them. I want folks to know exactly what the KKK stands for. Not what they were about 50 or 100 years ago, I want people to see that what they are today is just as bad as it was in 1880.

I completely agree. If you start down the censorship road it only gets wider. At some point you will be forced to repeat the government mantra in public!
