Headline: Wisconsin Examiner, 5/21/2025
Isiah Holmes reports:
A Republican-sponsored bill that would have defined a riot as a gathering of at least three people that could pose a threat of property damage or injury has been removed from the Assembly Judiciary Committee’s executive session agenda. The bill has been criticized for being overly broad, and potentially chilling First Amendment protections of protest and free speech. Besides defining a riot, the bill also exposed accused rioters and riot organizers to felony charges and civil liability including restitution for attorneys’ fees and property damage, and carried a prohibition on government officials with authority over law enforcement from limiting an agency’s response to quell unrest. [emphasis added]
Does one of these GOP sponsors represent you?
Co-sponsor Shae Sortwell is one of the wackiest shits in the Wisconsin Assembly.
