Is HER squeeze worth the juice?
State Rep. Lakeshia Myers, D-Milwaukee, is that perfect specimen of the average Janet Protasiewicz voter: progressive, eager to rewrite history through the lens of racial equity, milk and cookies for criminals. Ethics as pliable as Silly Putty.
The state legislator defends rioting in today’s Wisconsin State Journal. Do not reboot your laptop; you read that correctly. “Riot bill will stifle legitimate protest.” The burr under her saddle? Republicans put up a bill to define riots and penalize rioters. THE HORROR! (Assembly Bill 70 passed the lower house Wednesday 03-22-23 with all 35 Democrats voting AGAINST IT! It now goes to the State Senate.)
Perfunctorily, Myers quotes Martin Luther King Jr. — oblivious that the man preached nonviolent protest.
“I voted against the bill,” Rep. Myers boasts, on behalf of:
People who inherently carry the burden of fighting for their very existence and fight to hold on to their piece of the American pie.
— State Rep. Lakeshia Myers, D-Milwaukee
Also, the latest iPhone and Air Jordans, she might have added. Does she really think the young teens aged 14 to 17 who wrecked that stolen car with a loaded gun (explored here) are “fighting for their very existence”? How about studying one of the STEM disciplines (if you’ll excuse that term) before the Madison school district abolishes advanced placement entirely? THAT would ensure a generous slice of that apple pie.
Do not misunderstand Rep. Myers! “I am not a proponent of violence, but …”
“I am not a proponent of violence but I understand why it happens,” the Rep. writes. Does she understand why January 6, 2021, happened? Doubtful, but her situational ethics is a free Get Out of Jail card for any hothead with a cause, whether the overly Woke mope who vandalized a statue of an abolitionist who died freeing the slaves or the QAnon Shaman.
So much for gun control. Assembly Bill 58 imposes a mandatory minimum sentence of five years for violent felons in possession of a firearm. All 35 Democrats — including Lakeshia Myers, voted NO!
Blaska’s Bottom Line: There is a reason Democrats are in the minority in the Wisconsin state legislature. Here’s a clue: it’s not gerrymandering, state supreme court candidate Protasiewicz. It’s the political party that supports you.
What does Rep. Myers tell State Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee) beaten on the grounds of the state capitol (by white women, no less) in one of the BLM riots of May/June 2020?

Blaska Policy Werkes 
“Mostly peaceful protests” as the buildings burn in the background. Armed insurrection, riot, free speech, common sense and many others all have different meanings depending on which glass you are looking thru.

“This bill makes it a Class I felony to urge, promote, organize, encourage, or
instigate others to commit a riot and a Class H felony to intentionally commit an act
of violence while participating in a riot.”
This seems very dangerous and goes against free speech. Are you comfortable with Democrats deciding what constitutes “urge, promote, organize, encourage or instigate”? Will you leave it up to progressives to decide if you committed an “act of violence” (such as misgendering someone…oh the humanity!)
As Naval Ravikant says if you think it’s a good idea turn it over to your enemies for a test drive.
And sure I’m like any other level headed person who can’t understand why Ray Epps is a free man but you can’t win them all.

Is Blaska comfortable with Democrats deciding what constitutes “urge, promote, organize, encourage or instigate” riots? Well, they kind of did with January 6. This Republican happens to agree. Seditious conspiracy is just that: urging, promoting, et cetera.

That might be a little bit of a stretch.
Again…
The definitions for what we are talking about here are can be found in the CHAPTER 115—TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of the United States Code.
18 USC §2384: Seditious Conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Regarding that, I’ll let a classic Liberal Democrat take the podium…

The Dems deciding what a riot is? Jan 6? This is a state bill; not federal. And the gop controls the state. So, THEY are deciding. What does this have to do with Janet P.? Not in the legislature and not on the SOWSC. Yet, but will be. Keep politics out of the courts.

What No Bail, early release, no riot penalties has to do with Janet P. is that she is the Democrats’ candidate for court and those are Democrat policies.

I’m a Dem and I hope they do pass it. The law applies to everyone; not just liberals. I’d love to see it applied to trump followers when they go off the rails. Unless there’s an amendment that gives them immunity. Equal justice under the law for everyone.

Yes, I almost got the dry heaves reading that drivel this morning. It does nothing but excuse riots and violence if it’s done in the name of social justice, whatever hell that term encompasses to progressives this week.
Progressives have been and will no doubt continue to be an amen chorus propaganda like this and for woke rioting. But they piss their diapers as soon as Tom Cotton suggests using the military to restore order in cities where local law enforcement can’t or won’t.
