did not offer any evidence that these areas exist…some areas of Tennessee

Didn’t God make Tennessee for retail porn and fireworks?

This is nuts. Lying liars like Gingrich and Jindal tell stupid lying lies about this kind of nonsense, then some state rep goes to Europe and see three guys with beards standing on a corner and gets nervous, comes home all agitated and now an actual state legislature is taking time to ban a thing that doesn’t exist. Either that, or it’s a subtle ploy to freak the rest of us out so we buy more bourbon.

“a contiguous geographical area consisting of public space or privately owned public space where community organizing efforts systematically intimidate or exclude the general public or public workers from entering or being present within the area.”

Love how they worked “community organizing” into that. Subtle as a sock full of quarters to the head.

Can we declare Tennessee a “no go zone”?

So would this include areas that Muslims/African Americans/Atheists/etc. feel intimidated by religious nutbags/racists/etc? This could be fun…

“We can cordon off these No-Go zones into one area, as if they made up our 51st state. Or Area 51, for short.”

Lynn said that state Sen. Bill Ketron, who sponsored the Senate version of the bill, “saw it with his own eyes” during a visit to Europe.

Since when did Tennessee move to Europe?

“State Rep. Susan Lynn’s bill does not specifically mention Muslims, but may allude to the non-existent Muslim ‘no-go zones’”

State Rep. Susan Lynn’s bill does not specifically mention Muslims, but IS A BLATANT CAT-CALL TO THE GOP/TEATROLL MYTH OF Muslim “no-go zones”

FIFY (seriously, grow a pair)

“there’s activity happening where people sort of feel intimidated”

Teatroll Rosetta Stone says: "Our demagoguery of Muslims has worked so well that our target audience of undereducated rural redneck bigots and rubes are scared whenever they see one and immediately assume that the Muslim in question is a potential terrorist who could explode or otherwise attack at any moment.’

Indeed. Turnabout is fair play. First place I’d accuse of becoming a no-go zone is the nearest, largest Planned Parenthood as a result of the Christian nutjob protesters outside.

I think this could be applied to just about any property of any church in the state. Lets work to eliminate them all.

so … we can look forward to local law enforcement assault vehicles blasting into the lily white gated communities to eradicate the this-area-for-whites -only no-go-zones that have existed for years.

The GOTP is rejoicing because Arkansas Gov , Asa Hutchinson , did not veto the discrimination bill that the teaPubs electorate initiated

Thus

It is a state law that one can discriminate indiscriminately.

Prai$e Je$u$.

The land of Opportunity for Bigots, FauXians, and those bereft of integrity.
I ‘heard’ that it was the ‘Jobs creation’ initiative that was the motivator.
