So the mayor of this american town is campaigning because the council has tried to fire him and has instated a law saying no groups can be formed without their permission. political discussion groups to book clubs, nothing. No public speaking about politics or anything is allowed. it is now as illegal as tying to rob a family at gunpoint.
This is like the 4th U.S town ive read about doing this sort of thing this month.
When the hell did 'land of the free' turn int an ironic, sarcastic comment? isn't this completely antithetical to your constitution? i mean this is the kind of thing that should piss off the left and right wing in equal measure but its taken as kosher enough to pass? that is supremely fucked.
imagine watching the news in the pub and some arsehole politician comes on and a local cop hears you go "what a twat", now he has grounds to arrest you. think about that. On U.S soil you can voice your free speech and opinion on a political issue and be carted away by the police for thought crimes. WHAT. THE . FUCK. :eek:
this shit is freaky. like 1984 freaky. No questioning the political leaders in public? is it a democracy or soviet russia circa the 1940's?
