    The stupidity of these lawmakers is beyond wild. How the fuck is this real?

    I have a similar idea, let’s prosecute the police when they fail to catch criminals and punish them instead? A killer got away? Death penalty for the police officer in charge. That will make the killers think twice!

    Or even better, let’s prosecute politicians when their laws backfire and do more damage than good.

      I think politicians have special law right to avoid that consequences of their actions.

        Citizens also have special action that leds them bypass laws.

        It’s called anarchy to some, and full-on revolution to others.

        It’s not just that, it’s that they don’t care. People keep assuming it’s solely based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can’t fight it from existing to begin.

        They’ll decline to go after the websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can’t afford to fight back and will just close when contacted.
