re: Felony Hate Crime for making fun of someone's clothes?

It says harass OR follow OR "disrupt their quote enjoyment". Saying anything is what it says.

“ A person who willfully follows, harasses, or
62 interferes with another person's quiet enjoyment based on the
63 person's wearing of religious-based garments or garments
64 commonly associated with a particular religious or ethnic group
65 or any other indicia of any religious or ethnic heritage commits
66 the offense of aggravated stalking, a felony of the third
67 degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s.
68 775.084. A violation of this subsection shall be considered a
69 hate crime for purposes of the reporting requirements of s.”

And for some reason, the idiots here go nuts because it will be good for Jewish people.

Quit lying. People are upset because it seems to overstep the 1A and with every little law like this the slippery slope gets steeper.

there is no question that this board harbors at share of antisemites, but I wonder if either of you read the bill in its entirety.

It does contain some provisions specific to the Jewish religion.

So Desantis is a dictator

That won't be enforced. Go stand by a Jewish neighborhood with your cross and you will definitely get the derisive comments. But you won't get the hate crime.

We don’t find this offensive to the point of demanding action on our behalf by the state

Examples?

so, you did not bother to read the statute. Unsurprising. section 806..13(2)(b)

you and andyj are trying to make this all about Jews.

by citing you to specific statutory language dealing with Jews? You are a strange duck.

I guess Muslims wearing a hijab doesn't count IYO

That is quite a reach.

Why are so many people ignoring this part of the bill?:

quote:

---

A person who distributes pamphlets, flyers, or other materials, whether for commercial or noncommercial purposes, in a public place, including outside a private residence, and such materials discarded by recipients, leads to littering, commits a misdemeanor of the first degree,

---

It says if a guy hands you a flier and you throw it on the ground, the other guy gets charged with misdemeanor littering. Kind of annoying, but not a big deal right? Well, keep reading:

quote:

---

If a violation of sub-subparagraph a. involves material that evidences religious or ethnic animus, including content described in s. 806.13(2)(b), the offense is reclassified as a felony of the third degree

---

If the flier is an invite to a party, it's a misdemeanor. However, if the flier says "Muslims suck" then you are charged with a felony.

100% unconstitutional. There is no way SCOTUS lets it stand. Even the liberal members won't like it and I can see it getting overturned 9-0.

So people can’t make fun of my kilt if I wear it in public?

apparently so

but they are still permitted to make fun of what’s underneath it
