It Is Now Illegal To Make Illegals Feel Uncomfortable
As we import ever more illegals into Sanctuary Washington State, Democrats want to be sure they are comfortable. Giving them free Obamacare, free housing, free food, free everything is not enough! We need to give them special status. How do we do that? During the 2024 legislative session we gave them Super Citizen status by allowing them to work, but not pay into Social Security. And to ensure that Americans don’t hurt their feelings we enacted a new law during the same session that wipes out First Amendment Rights for Americans.
Last month Washington’s Marxist Governor signed an unconstitutional bill which I quickly wrote about because I wanted to warn both Washingtonians and others. [Oregonians & Californians need to keep an eye on their legislatures. We call these three states COW because they often copy each others’ tyrannical ideas.] I have now had time to ruminate over the new law and believe it to be more Orwellian than it seemed at first glance. I will start by apologizing that I missed a key last minute change to the bill. The Democrats who sponsored the bill removed the $2000 reward a whiner would receive from the taxpayers for turning in an acquaintance or stranger. It was too controversial and too expensive, they claimed.
Too controversial? Too Expensive? But, the rest of this Soviet-style, Chinese Social Credit Score-type, unconstitutional bill was just fine? Really? The Left never accepts defeat. They will eventually find a way to reward haters with our tax dollars and/or money confiscated from the target. After all, one gets what they pay for and The Left wants & needs ever more haters & faux victims to feed the grievance industry.
NEW LAW ESTABLISHES A “PROTECTED CLASS”
This new statute creates & defines a “protected class.” These people are so special that the state must protect their feelings: “race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, or mental, physical, or sensory disability.” National origin and ancestry includes, of course, illegals. The bill defines a “bias incident” as a non-protected person’s “hostile expression of animus” toward a person in the “protected class.”
Since this bill does not define the term “hostile expression of animus,” it is left to the Attorney General’s office to define it. Currently, that overlord is Democrat Bob Ferguson, who is running for governor. He drafted and promoted a failed bill in both the 2023 & 2024 legislative sessions which would throw Conservatives, Christians, Republicans and Trump supporters into deprogramming camps. We can only assume that Bob will interpret this new term to include a frown on the face of a Conservative, Christian, Republican and/or Trump supporter, especially if he/she is “white,” while in the presence of a “protected person.”
Bob wants to terrorize Americans and to drive a wedge between neighbors, friends, co-workers, et al who, when the word gets out about this new law, will be afraid to talk to each other. Indeed, as I write this article, in my mind’s eye I am envisioning a Liberal who lives on my street. She has screamed at me in the distant past* because I made a remark about a presidential policy. This law makes her a “protected person.” I am a “non-protected” person. If I call her a “jackass,” I will wind up on The List.
CREATES “WRONG SPEAK” LIST OF AMERICANS
This new statute clearly states that a “hostile expression of animus” is not a crime that can be prosecuted in court. So, why does the bill require local law enforcement to get involved? To terrorize Americans? I believe the main reason for this bill is to allow the State of Washington to create a list of Americans which can be used against them in a multitude of ways. When a person applies for a government job, will that agency first check The List before hiring? When applying for an electrician’s license will the applicant be denied because he/she is on The List? Will a person on The List be denied Section 8 Housing even though he/she qualifies? My mind goes wild with all the possibilities how The List could be used and abused.
Imagine this:
The local sheriff’s deputy^ shows up at your home to question you about a “bias incident” you allegedly committed. The statute prohibits him from telling you who reported you. You stand there with a dumb look on your face because you don’t have a clue what he is talking about. The deputy is not allowed to answer any questions that may give away who the “Karen” is who called the hotline. Since Karen did not scream at you “BIAS INCIDENT! BIAS INCIDENT!” at the time you “wrongspoke,” you have no idea when, where, who, what, why or how.
You have no way to defend yourself. Your name goes on the state’s The List and remains there until ten years after you die (levity is sorely needed here). If another person turns you in for a different “bias incident” it is anyone’s guess, at this early point in the life of this unconstitutional law, what the Gestapo in the AG’s office will do to you. As I advise everyone if the FBI shows up at your door: When police come to your door, the only words out of your mouth should be “lawyer,” then politely close the door.
Since no crime has been committed, the police cannot arrest you; but, your name will be on a The List until voters kick the Marxist bums out, repeal this law and shred The List.
TYRANNY STARTS JULY 1, 2025
The new law requires the Attorney General’s office to establish a pilot hotline in three counties by July 1, 2025, and in every county by January 1, 2027. AG Bob Ferguson made it clear during this PBS interview that he hates Conservatives, Republicans, Trump supporters and others. No doubt, he is hard at work as I write this to interpret this statute in the most fascist, unconstitutional way his weasley little brain can conjure up.
The Progressives & Marxists who sponsored this bill say it is intended to help “victims of hate crimes” before a crime even happens. Say what? In reality, SB 5427 would create a database of innocent Americans, undermine legitimate criminal investigations, and freeze, not just chill, speech & the press in Washington State. People will stop talking to others and writing to others except very close friends & relatives, for fear a Karen will report them to Washington’s version of the Gestapo. And what about posts on social media?
What about public meetings, such city council meetings or school board meetings or county commissioner meetings? Both elected officials and the public will not be able to speak freely for fear someone will call the “bias hotline.” As I read the bill, I see nothing in it that prohibits a third party from calling the hotline to complain that he/she heard a “non-protected” person criticize a “protected” person.
And I can’t even imagine what this will do to the The Press in the State of Washington. I see nothing in this new law that excludes writers, editors, columnists, reporters from being targeted.
STATS SHOW FEW “HATE CRIMES”
This law is not needed because Washington State has virtually no “hate crimes” among a population of 7.7 million: police reported 590 hate crimes to the FBI for 2022, of which 63% were related to race, ethnicity or ancestry, while 18% were related to sexual orientation and 10% were related to religion.. In 2021 the number was 651. Although Black Lives Matter riots destroyed downtown Seattle in 2020 there were only 462 reported “hate crimes.”
Yes, this statute violates at least the following constitutional rights: 1) The right to confront your accuser; 2) Freedom of Speech; 3) Freedom of Thought, which is implied in the First Amendment; 4) Freedom of Religion; 5) Freedom of the Press, to name a few that quickly come to mind. Once it works its way up to the US Supreme Court it will be outlawed. In the meantime, how many “notches on their Gestapo gun belts” will the Karens of Washington State rack up?
Bob Ferguson loves this bill! Indeed, he is bitterly disappointed that an even worse bill he drafted and found a sponsor for did not make it out of committee these last two legislative sessions. Here is the article I wrote recently about that (failed) bill:
Since Ferguson has made it clear he hates Republicans, Conservatives, Trump supporters and more then his name should be the first name on the list come on Bob be a good example it's your bill.
Screw ‘em!
