Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
I’m really proud of the work you’re doing. Good job!
Instilling fear is what the government has been doing increasingly in the last 5 years. If you instill fear then you can justify any sort of law you want to suppress speech, behavior, what you eat, what you think, what you believe, what drugs you take, what you can write. “Its for your safety”, “Its misinformation”, “It threatens democracy”. These have all become phrases to justify making your speech or thoughts or passing comments in a bar, literally illegal, with jail time or “re-education”. Suppression of speech is the symptom, its not the cause here.
The first test case (to establish appellant level case law) for anti-doxing law should be a victim of SPLC-style (“Hate Maps”) doxing.
This will put Illinois Courts in a quandary: rule against defendant-friendlies who have made fortunes redefining free speech (as what they say it is), or rule in favor of free speech (which would find defendant-friends-of-regime guilty and liable).
IL Democrats wipe their ass with the Constitution — all they care about is how to grab power and steal more money
VERY WELL PUT…..RIGHT TO THE POINT……..AGREE
