Conn. Dems Want New State Police Dept. Just for 'Hate Crimes and Violent Right-Wing Extremism'
2020-01-24
[pjmedia] Democrats in Connecticut's State Senate have proposed creating and funding a new department within the state police focused specifically on "combating hate crimes and violent right-wing extremism."

Not all violent extremism, just right-wing extremism. Antifa, the radical left-wing anarchist group, which has said that "violence is necessary" for their activism, would apparently still have free reign in the state.

"Unfortunately, people who entertain hateful beliefs ... are protected as long as [those beliefs] don't result in hate-crime actions. That's what we're talking about," said Senate President Pro Tem Martin Looney."We want to be more aggressive in enforcing our laws and identifying likely sources of potential domestic terrorism acts against religious institutions and ethnic institutions."
Regardless of the Senate President's name, this is NOT the Bee.

#17  Ironically it's the Democrats in Connecticut's State Senate that are promoting "hate crimes" here.

Don't we have and internment camp in Guam for these thought criminals.

Oh wait, California.

#11  Naturally, a move towards political prosecutions would benefit greatly from the the establishment of a purely political police force

#8  This is the game they have been pushing towards for years. First you are a climate denier. Then part of the patriarchy. Then racist because of white privilege.

This is the end game to try and make most people believe or go along with if you have views right of their position, you are an extremist. A right wing extremist. They have the legal tools to take your guns and put you in a "re-education" camp.

#6  Regrettably, coppers salivate when presented with these administrative jobs. So much safer and easier than going after criminals.

Bloomberg. Population loss cost Connecticut $2.6 billion in lost income in 2016 according to an analysis from Bloomberg. The financial news outlet's report says that's the equivalent of 1.6% of the state's annual adjusted gross income.

#2  The Left is going further and further into authoritarian madness.

God help us if they win in November. They will use their power against us with all the fury of the Bolsheviks against the kulaks.
