Yeah! In Iowa, two conservatives, a talk radio host and a politician want to prosecute anti bullying organizers.
For exactly WHAT, I'm not too clear on.
Iowa Conservatives Float Prosecuting Organizers Of Anti-Bullying Summit
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 6/15/2015 2:00 pm
Iowa state Rep. Greg Heartsill has been rallying his fellow Republicans against the Governors Conference on LGBTQ Youth, an annual event organized by the anti-bullying group Iowa Safe Schools. On Friday, Heartsill spoke to talk show host Jan Mickelson, who frequently hosts GOP presidential candidates on his Iowa-based program, about the conference, and was also joined by Republican state Rep. Steve Holt. Mickelson was so outraged about the event that he said that the organizers should be criminally prosecuted for violating obscenity laws, and Heartsill said that he plans to be in contact with the county attorney for Polk County, where the conference was held, to see if summit organizers broke the law.

WHEN we wake up to this fact, that about 25% of the adult (so called) population are filled with rage and hate for others, when we admit this, finally, we will start to resolve it.
I am tired of describing them as what they are, disgusting puke fucks.
It does no good because most people arent paying attention and wont care until it is in their face.
