These bloody statist never learn, do they? Between the power mad legislators and “well-meaning” activists, we’re always onthe edge of a good ol’ fashioned authoritarian regime. This time the culprit is HB2549, now on Governor Brewer’s desk. It was ostensibly created to stop cyber-bullying and online stalking, but of course, the lawmakers had to go a touch further than that, making it a crime to use “any electronic or digital device” to send “obscene, lewd or profane language” or suggest such acts with the intent to “terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend.”
NBC reports: ” ‘…H.B. 2549 “would apply to the Internet as a whole, thus criminalizing all manner of writing, cartoons, and other protected material the state finds offensive or annoying,’ Media Coalition says on its website…”
So pretty much anything. And because of the interstate/national nature of the internet, I’m sure these self-important tits in Arizona will try going after folks outside their jurisdiction for pretty much anything. Call or write Jan Brewer if you want this nonsense stopped.
If it passes, this might help you pussies offended by everything:
