Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

This was actually discussed. The bill makes an exception for "members of a secret society demonstrating in public" as long as they get a permit from the police first.
Of course. Good thing those that work forces and those that burn crosses are two entirely different groups and totally do not overlap.
I was going to make a remark about how getting a permit must be really convenient, since you don't even need to leave the office.
That is a weirdly specific phrasing
Do you have a source for this? I really wanted to make some snarky posts pointing this out, but couldn't find mention of it in the summary of changes proposed by the bill:
https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewDocSiteFile/87480
It's on the first page of the bill and runs into the second page if you open the full document.
