Antisemitic images projected onto buildings spur Florida politicians to propose a new law

City council members in Jacksonville, Florida, are working on a law allowing for tougher penalties for projecting images on buildings after several antisemitic incidents across the state.

On Monday, Jacksonville City Council members unveiled details about the bill, which would involve a misdemeanor criminal charge and fines. The bill has yet to be finalized; a vote is scheduled for Jan. 24 and it could become enforceable law within a month.

Jacksonville City Council member Rory Diamond said that while he believes the projected images violate existing laws, a new bill would add clarity by making it illegal to project any images or messages onto a building without permission. He said the proposed law would both protect property rights and crack down on “unwanted speech.” It would also “give some teeth” to penalties by making violations a misdemeanor with a minimum $2,000 fine and the possibility of up to six months in prison.

“It’s a message that Jacksonville City Council sees this and is responding,” he said. “As representatives of all 1 million people who live here, we’re saying ‘No thanks, not here, no way.”

I mean…. Those messages aren’t wrong. And in no way are they “violence inciting” lol that’s a stretch. Just like saying 6 million, that was also a huge stretch.

Hi, Swastika is a holy symbol in Hindu. It has nothing to do with antisemitic.

so if talking about a group as privileged who work collectively for their interests at the expense of others is tantamount to inciting violence what should i make of jewish academics seeding ‘white privilege’ into the public discourse?

Seems like kids messing around. I wonder if they would stop if you just stopped giving them attention.

What? Whenever someone breathes too loud around a jew not only do they cover it, but they will have a rabbi come on for an inappropriately long amount of time and condemn whatever happened.

The jew cries out in pain as he destroys your country.

The news is silent because the jews that own the news companies don't want people looking into the truth behind the messages.

With all the anti-white haterd what do you expect ? Do you expect white people to do nothing? Everyone knows 96% of the media is controlled by a 2% minority. This is just the beginning they have pushed way to far and I for one look forward to a new beginning without the 2%.

What’s wrong with the swastika? You Jews lie and always twist reality


136 responses as I am posting this, and the VAST majority are what you see above. Some are even more vile, but, sadly, par for the course! Notice the number of those who don't capitalize the word "Jew", a common microaggression that too many use as a way to convey the "lessnees" of the Jew.
