Personally I am glad about this part at least.  Being an active duty Marine at Ft.

Death to King George




George III (George William Frederick) (4 June 1738 – 29 January 1820) was King of Great Britain, and King of Ireland from 25 October 1760 until 1 January 1801, and thereafter King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death.
Later in his reign George III suffered from recurrent and eventually permanent mental illness. It is thought now that he suffered from mental and nervous disorders as a consequence of the blood disease porphyria, which has struck several British monarchs.






George Washington

If men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences that can invite the consideration of mankind, reason is of no use; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

As distasteful as it is, speech is either free or it is not !

Once you start deciding what can be said and what can not be said then you have abolished free speech !

No need to pass laws, for it is stupid laws that protect stupid people, use to be if some shit-head disrupted a funeral it would get a beating and there would be no sympathy for the fool, the cops might applaud but that would all that would come of it, now you will do several years in prison for beating down someone who desparately needs it.

I would also just like to add, that as long as people allow this kinda lawmaking to keep going on, it will always just reward  the police to punish those that are willing to put the "beatdown" on the idiots that would do such a thing.

How does that saying go?..

We used to police our own, with far better results than what we are seeing today. Your neighbors kept you in line. Police were only called when common law failed. There was no pressure to put anybody in jail when an ass-kicking would get the job done. If somebody pulled a weapon, the witnesses would  disarm them.

Some of that law already existed. I remember seeing that a couple years ago.  I know the abusive language caught my attention when I was looking up the definition of assault once.

I think the only new part is the distruptive behavior near funerals.

Found it.  This is the way it currently reads,


(1) A person is guilty of disorderly conduct if he:

    (a) Uses abusive language and thereby intentionally creates a risk of assault; or

    (b) Intentionally disrupts any lawful assembly or meeting of persons without lawful authority; or

    (c) Intentionally obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic without lawful authority.

    (2) Disorderly conduct is a misdemeanor.

Most people now a days dont even know their neighbors name, More then that, if we tried to go back to that, the attitude of most (I would be 100% sure about this crowd in here) is Mind your own F-ing business.

Im still old enough to remmember that my mom gave everyother mom on the block the ok to spank my azz when I got out of line, and it was a mutual thing between all the moms. What that also did, was allow any kid to go anywhere in the neighborhood and all the moms knew it was ok, because all the neighbors would be watching out for eachother's children.

Do you think I would let my kids ride their bikes alone  300 feet from my house nowadays letalone all the way into town 4 miles away.

I have been organizing and talking to my neighbors, and so far the natives are anxious to form common law townships and look out for one another, but these are not rural country roads, they are highways with high traffic flows.

Traffic has gotten so bad that I do not drive if I do not feel 100%, it is just too dangerous to walk or ride a bike on the road anymore.

It looks tome like the existing RCW has been on the books in it's current state since 1975.


RCW 9A.84.030
Disorderly conduct.


(1) A person is guilty of disorderly conduct if he:

    (a) Uses abusive language and thereby intentionally creates a risk of assault; or

    (b) Intentionally disrupts any lawful assembly or meeting of persons without lawful authority; or

    (c) Intentionally obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic without lawful authority.

    (2) Disorderly conduct is a misdemeanor.




HB 3293 proposes one minor change and a major change of the addition of protection for funerals, burials, viewings, funeral processions, and memorial services.

I've coded the text of the bill to reflect the changes being made, as it's shown in it's current form.  Unfortunetley copying and pasting of text loses the strike outs and underscores that are sometimes crucial to understanding what changes are being proposed.

I've always been taught that laws since the mid-sixties were written for the lowest common denominator, ergo, there's always some ACLU/Libtard fuckstick asshat that needs it in writing.

It stands to reason that the model being used here is yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.



Then again, sometimes it just comes down to the JBT who wants to get his beatdown on and how that particular JBT defines the law.

Laws are morality [MALUM IN SE], morality being the difference between right and wrong, how ever by what standard is right and wrong measured ?  Right for whom ? wrong for whom ?

There is only one Supreme Legislator in the Universe the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Isrealites were given just ten laws they expanded them in to 652 and beyond, the point is laws cause crime.


Romans 5-
20 Yet law came in by the way, that the offense should be increasing.




Romans 7-
8 Now Sin, getting an incentive through the law, produces in me all manner of coveting. For apart from law Sin is dead.



The whole of the law is contained in one word   love

America was founded upon christian common law, Lex Non Scripta = unwritten law  because it is written on our hearts not black letter statutes enacted by legislatures and executed by unjust judges.


2Cor 3-
6 Who also makes us competent dispensers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the spirit, for the letter is killing, yet the spirit is vivifying.

Well, it seems that even those that are on Their side are free to screw up.

Religion was not meant to be the basis of law for a modern society, but for those that accept those laws as their own.  "Give unto Ceaser that which is his" has been interpreted so many different ways by so many different people from so many differrent bible versions that no person can say they know exactly what it means.

Your religious choice, your rules, your desired results, if you really have God on your side.  Leave the rest of us out of it.

The greatest power that God, in his infinite wisdom, gave man, was choice.  I don't begrudge folks their religious choice in any way, until it is being pushed upon me.  Religious freedom means freedom not to be religious, and freedom of speech means I am free to speak out about how I view religion, but I usually choose to be discreet.  Religious arguments can't be won by anyone, because the discussion involves something intangible.  You have faith that something exists, I have faith it does not.  No one is wrong, no one is right, because how can you we even prove our faith, or lack thereof?  Can't.

I say to those that wish the laws I must live by are religious laws:


And if anything I believe makes you want to tell me I'm going to hell, than I want to know who gave you that power to judge me in that way?  You're God?  The Bible?  Heh, I've got more versions of those being pitched to me in a week than we could all handle.  What if they are all wrong?  Who gets to pick and choose?  The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there is limited space in heaven, based on a passaage in the bible.  When will their quota be filled?  In Salt Lake City, there are good Mormans, and better Mormons.  What kind of Christianity is that?  Why does a man get to decide what kind of Christian I am?  Why do Christian Scientists not have ministers or preachers, just an admisitration, and thier own newspaper?  Why should Luther be right, or King Henry be wrong?

I think that's about enough of that.  Thanks for listening.

I will not allow someone's religious beliefs to be the law I must abide by, to oppress me.  The first amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", means exactly that, no matter what the intentions of the writers or scholars or what they said or believed before 1791, including the Declaration of Independence, which did not form our government or structure of law.  Christianity, or any other relgion, belongs in your heart, not in our laws or government, which is clearly outlawed.   All your quotes about religion being the foundation only come to the point of the Natural Law and God given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that is in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution or Bill of Rights.  Take your religion to your heart, and leave me out of it.

However this thread is about freedom of speech and you can not expect to be free if you are ignorant, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."

therefore it is necessary to discuss the foundations of the laws and how they are used, for no quotes from the holy scriptres are necessary to prove the evils of bad law wrongly enforced, plenty of historical examples as well as contemporary examples.

--Thomas Jefferson to Dr. Thomas Cooper, from Monticello, February 10, 1814.




In context that quote is correct but remember there is a difference between American common law and British common law, religion and british common law had already been a system of tyranny against the American people for years that lead to the war for independence, many state churches had the divine right of kings dogma as a system of opporession, two blood brothers and preachers found themselves on opposite sides of the revolution.

Quoted:
So what happens when I fart in public? Iz that assault to the public or myself




What does happen when you fart in public?  Do people die?  Do vultures circle the odor of carrion?
