Virginia HB1627:

If any person, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass any person, shall use a computer or computer network to communicate obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, or indecent language, or make any suggestion or proposal of an obscene nature, or threaten any illegal or immoral act, he shall be is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. A violation of this section may be prosecuted in the jurisdiction in which the communication was made or received or in the City of Richmond if the person subjected to the act is one of the following officials or employees of the Commonwealth: the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.

You'd think they'd at least get the 2A out of the way before they go balls out after the 1A. Remember this shit next time you get butthurt because someone tells you the Democrats are authoritarian shitstains.

[Update]: Deathmonkey was kind enough to point out that this was in fact a Republican-passed bill from 2K that is being reaffirmed/reenacted by the Democrats, as well as adding the ability for the state to prosecute in Richmond no matter where the crime was committed if it's against state-owned property or a politician. Let's hear it for bipartisan fuckwadery! This would have been updated sooner but this is the first time I've looked at it since Thursday around lunchtime. Sorry, you're just not as interesting as The Roomie's kids who arrived a couple hours later.

(What, you thought I'd support it if Republicans had a hand in it? You must be new here.)

    Also, since you care SO LITTLE for my opinions would you care to make another blustery post excusing your response to this thread? Some insulting joke about correcting an idiot? Maybe a statement about how your a Warrior for Truth?

    You'll probably get your wish, I've been sickened by the large minority of hypocrites and fact-denying users around here for a long time. Your personal hypocrisy does get to me since you are always going on about freedom of speech and how those mean internet companies are persecuting conservative voices. You hate CoCs and mock anyone who tries to make rules to manage their communities and then you go and do the same! H Y P O C R I T E

    Your ideology means nothing beyond your selfish desires. This site was founded on escaping the corporate boot, but the community that believed in that has only switched to a council of boots.

    You should feel ashamed of your actions, but I know you won't. Just angry and self-righteous as you ignore the truth of my words.
