A Minnesota state lawmaker wants to strip convicted protesters of their access to government programs, including food stamps, student loans, and health care.
Republican state Sen. David Osmek authored the legislation as the nation awaits a decision in the jury trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was charged in the death of George Floyd.“A person convicted of a criminal offense related to the person’s illegal conduct at a protest, demonstration, rally, civil unrest, or march is ineligible for any type of state loan, grant, or assistance, including but not limited to college student loans and grants, rent and mortgage assistance, supplemental nutrition assistance, unemployment benefits and other employment assistance, Minnesota supplemental aid programs, business grants, medical assistance, general assistance, and energy assistance,.”
The Minnesota bill is not likely to pass with Democrats controlling the state House and the governor’s office.
Propose, propose, propose. Nothing happens. All bullshit.
Absolutely this should be done, not only in Minnesota but everywhere. Strip them of their unemployment, food stamps, etc. Then maybe they’ll get a job like everyone else and earn their way in life instead of looting and stealing to get what they want.
This is exactly why the left wants everyone dependent on the government… so they can control you through the threat of taking away benefits
Should be the law everywhere!
About time, others shall follow.
DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
