Anyways, reported without irony, Doug Hissom writes about a proposed hate speech ordinance:
The measure, proposed by Ald. Michael McGee, would add a $5,000 fine to any violation against people or property when a person was found to have acted on the basis of race, religion, color, disability, sexual orientation, national origin or ancestry. In the City of Milwaukee, that would include ordinance violations such as disorderly conduct, vandalism, petty theft and obscene phone calls, among others.No word yet on the view of State Senator Tim Carpenter, who has previously cast a dim view of some of the alderman's anti-homosexual hate speech.
Also no comment from the alderman's father, the charity-subsidized radio hate-speaker without parallel, Michael McGee, Sr. Given the racial language used during his broadcasts, at the very least he might be concerned about getting hit with a fine. Or, if not a fine, when's the picnic?
