It’s common enough to point and laugh at crazy furriners carrying out government sponsored acts of terrorism against their own people based on arbitrary and generally insane rules and “laws.” Recently a lot of this laughter has been direction Britainland way, and rightly so. But we should remain vigilant lest the more fascistic of Americans, such as the Democrats, get it into their heads to do the same sort of nonsense here. Because, as we’ve seen from the House recently voting to pass a blatantly and admittedly unConstitutional bill banning the transfer of items in common use, they are more than happy to abuse power.
Moment army veteran is arrested ‘for causing anxiety’ after retweeting meme of swastika made out of Pride flags as force is condemned by its own crime commissioner for the ‘proportionality and necessity’ of its response

I do wonder how many of those police officers actually believe they’re doing the right thing, how many don’t care, and how many are actively opposed to this nonsense. This situation is, of course, monumentally stupid. The dude posted this image:
Which somehow caused someone “anxiety.” Why the police should give a rat’s ass that someone has anxiety, I’ve no idea. How they determine that the anxiety caused by a meme is worse/more legally actionable than the anxiety caused by, say, foreign rape gangs or BLM riots or historic statues being torn down or lockdowns or unsolved burglaries, assaults and murders while the police chase down people who post memes, I’ve no idea.
