    Don’t look at Louisiana. It’s horrifying what’s going on here. I don’t know why we don’t get more national attention.

    If y’all saw the bills that were passing here, you’d be terrified. Here are a few gems from just a few days ago:

    • expanded the death penalty

    • lower the age for juveniles to be tried as adults

    • all but eliminated probation/parole for convicted felons

    These are all part of a suite of “tough on crime bills.” Guess what the cherry on top is? They also ended permits for concealed carry.

      That shit cuts both ways, you might wanna start carrying if you were here too. I carry a gun everywhere now and don’t have any credentials, and I’m happy knowing the playing field will be more even when brown shirts shorts start goose stepping down my street. Sleep safe, everybody.
