Proposed LA law to ban “hate related” Mardi Gras throws

Why do legislators file bills that are clearly unconstitutional and unenforceable? It’s a waste of time and money but a chance for them to virtue signal I guess.

State Sen. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans, filed a bill that if passed would ban throwing "hate-related" objects during Mardi Gras parades.
The bill would ban the throwing of any objects that "suggest the supremacy of one ethnic, religious, or racial group over any other, or gives honor or praise to any violent actions," according to the bill. This proposed bill comes less than two weeks after a father was shocked when his son caught a caricature of a black man holding a watermelon, a racist trope, at the Mystic Knights of Adonis parade in Gretna on Feb. 15.
The bill proposes a fine between $300 and $1,000 and imprisonment for 10 to 90 days. If the parade or person who violated the proposed law cannot be identified, then the organization will be fined $1,000 for the first offense and up to $5,000 for the third offense.

Aren't these things built on one being better than the other?

Zulu parade will be banned. This guy hates Zulu. Didn’t get a coconut.

yes, because this is exactly what went wrong with Mardi Gras this year

Because the stupid politicians on the far right and the far left rely on emotions to get their stupid followers to like them.

Rex theme a few years ago on American Wars. Might run awry of praise to violent actions.

Had enough time to take it away without having to explain or deal with it?

Same reason it’s now a felony to lynch someone, as if the whole murder part wasn’t enough
