Nearby to Casa de McThag is the City of New Port Richey.

They love them some fines.

Red-light cameras.

Speeding tickets, before a change to the state laws, used to make up a significant percentage of their revenue.

And, noise violations...

The downtown area the city is desperately trying to make a thing often got very loud with live music in the bars.

So they passed a series of noise ordinances with ever decreasing wiggle room and smaller loopholes.  All the while expanding where the citations could be issued.

Which brings us to this.

Ms Boneta has been making noise while protesting to her city government about the behavior of a city government and police department more than 2,000 miles removed.

Once again, "wasn't me, didn't do it!" is not a positive defense against the charge of racism.

So they've been demanding Justice™ from people who haven't done any of the things they are protesting about.

Do you think this will make the cops charged with enforcing the ordinances lenient or for them to be more hard-ass about shit?

If you chose the latter, you are correct, and they've been issuing fines.

I love the quote, "The protesters say the citations, and other actions by the New Port Richey Police Department, are meant to send a message: Go home."

Yes.  Exactly that.

But since they're lumping NPRPD in with other police departments who're being accused of racially motivated shootings; let's check and see how many minorities NPRPD has "murdered"...

On 06Nov20 (well after the protests started) they shot and killed an armed man making threats in a bar.  No mention of race, no protest about his death.  The lack of mention, protests and photo of the deceased is what we call an "indicator".  Also note that the deceased was not exactly a pillar of the community.

And... and... uh...  I'm not finding any others.

NPRPD sure seems to keep the guns holstered and not shoot anyone.
