Bad Laws Need To Die February 8, 2026 at 2:37 pm

These bill should die, and hopefully soon. I have long said that any bill that must be named after somebody’s deceased kid, so it can gain traction because it doesn’t have enough merit to stand on its own without the emotional momentum, is not a good bill. I stand by that.

The strangulation bill is another law for which laws are already in place to cover any evil or evil intent. Far fetched as it sounds, I can see some hapless good citizen being cast into the dungeon of our criminal justice system using this law, after having to resort to choking or similar in self-defense. It is another bad law that does not need to pass.

“More laws; less justice.”

If the strangulation bill passes, will I go to prison for choking my chicken, even if I do it in the bathroom and no one else can see me?
