Republican Texas State Representative Jason Villalba has introduced a bill making it illegal for you to film or photograph the police.  HB2918 allows the filming of police only by a television station with an FCC license or certain magazines and newspapers.

Even his fellow Republicans jumped on him like a fat lady on a milkshake.  Jason is a lawyer so you’d suspect that he has at least become vaguely familiar with the First Amendment.

So, after getting whacked about the head by both Democrats and Republicans, Jason decides that the wisest thing to do is to stand his ground.  Hey, if you’re going to be a fool, be a stubborn fool because those are the most fun.

He dares his distractors on Twitter —

Pssst, Jason, I think that’s already being arranged.

And then he has a meltdown – right there on Twitter and starts daring everybody.

This goes on for a few fun hours and then he sobers up, dammit, and takes them all down.

I love Republicans in the Lege.
