What is this Quattrocchi person doing in Rhode Island?

It's such a shame that Scituate is represented by a pig like this guy. Also you know what they say about Republicans and projection...

She was grandstanding. It was a fair rebuttal to her claim of being offended.

average conspiracy poster

That's valid. Good talk.

If you think that defending herself and others who are constantly targets of unwarranted and disgusting sexual orientation insults & prejudices is grandstanding, you need to go find a dictionary.

He was the one grandstanding. You believe his question about whether he had to consider Satanists and pedophiles was sincere?

it is, if there's one thing conspiracy theorists are about it's baselessly calling people pedophiles. you guys love that shit.

It takes one to know one would’ve been a solid response.

She was rightfully offended since this dumb shit wanted to equate pedophiles with the LGBT community and minorities.

It's not baseless. Her claim was being offended when he mentioned consideration for pedos, he said are you offended because you are one? It's valid. What's offensive about his question?

Yes. It's essentially a probe of the limits of the requested requirements. It's totally a fair inquiry.

Defense to a valid question? There was no attack.

That's like your opinion man

This isn't shocking. Rhode Island isn't just Providence. I've lived here forever and the further north, west and south you get from PVD the more red the state gets. Just because there's more land and less people doesn't mean that those folks aren't going to elect assholes like this guy. I have family that lives in a lot of those parts of the state. I don't talk to my family much...

Yeah, I know Scittuate is MAGAt Q land. It is basically every city that doesn't touch the bay or Atlantic.

Quite the leap but won't debate because superior. Hella valid persona you've created.

It makes "I'm rubber you're glue" look like "I know what you are but what am I"

Considering it would be her admitting she is in fact a pedophile I don’t think it’s that great a response.

Many people are saying that Rep Quattrocchi is a pedo, not me, but many many people. They're saying it very strongly, from what I hear.

Every one of them that prattles on about pedophiles is a pedophile. To a person.

Lol the typical MAGA/Q/Imbecile retort when presented with facts. I’m looking forward to the day when you clowns crawl back to whatever hole you came from.

Well, he coaches girls' sports. He is definitely a prick for saying such a thing.

I’ve noted before, the East-West split in RI during the recent elections matched the North-South split in the US

Scituate exports smart people, it doesn’t retain them.

I'm from the Foster/Glocester and Burrillville area and damn, you'd think you were in Alabama.

probably just got back from his winter in Florida

I know you are but what am i?

i'm looking forward to the day when they spew their vitriol on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

Grew up here and can confirm

You know it’s funny I never get any credit for what I did for pedo, but that’s alright.

There is no rightfully offended. That's opinion. Great stretch tho.

*below average

I'll never forget in the summer of 2016, only three years after I moved here, I had to drive my son up to camp in Burrillville every day for a week, and oh my God. I would estimate literally every third house had a Trump sign, and every second house had a "NO NEW POWER PLANT NORTHERN RI" sign, which made me really angry because every house with a Trump sign also had a power-plant sign, and Trump was the guy running on increasing energy production from pollutants.

I live in Scituate and I'm far from Maga and Q because I'm not a moron

That's a stupid question

It's offensive because gay people aren't pedophiles, Republicans are

…what

Burrillville voted for Obama twice. It's complicated.

I've also seen multiple BLM signs throughout town.

Everyone is very pro-environment here. But people also love their guns.

So what about the satanists? Was that a stupid question? Think about the context and how broad the proposal is. Nobody said all gay people are pedos.

>Her claim was being offended when he mentioned consideration for pedos

I've seen some bad faith bullshit in my day but this is pretty absurd. Nobody has ever referred to that as a sexual orientation and there's never been any legislative attempt to do anything other than punish and criticize it.

Put bluntly, they are not and never would be considered a protected or marginalized class.

The choice to obfuscate the issue of sexual orientation with a disorder like pedophilia is a deliberate one and, frankly, one that has already led to people getting killed.

This isn't some whoopsy-daisy slip of the tongue. It was a deliberate attempt to antagonize and dehumanize.

>So what about the satanists?

In a question of a law that affects religion? Their religion is no less valid or legal than any other religion.

Every accusation, a confession.

Or what Fox News calls their audience “dumb cousin-fucking terrorists”

Yeah it's specifically said that drag queens are a danger to children because they're pedophiles.

Also trans people

Republicans accuse all queer people of being pedophiles all the time

And yes, that's a stupid question. This is America we have freedom of religion

Are you saying a person can agree with the beliefs of more than one political party?

Ok so he is making that point. In a bill requiring all people be considered in a neat little report how is he wrong for probing the fringe of what's covered.

That's just not true. At all. https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/sb145

Let's see how this gets spun.

Here by me? You're arguing against shit I never said. I'm not a republican dude you're seeing ghosts.

Can I speak to the fox who actually reads links before posting them instead? This is too easy

14 15 16 year old having sex with upto 10 years older and they don't want them on a sex offender registration. I read it and I'd say it's a step in the wrong direction. Definitely a step towards normalzing that shit in my opinion.

Because he's clearly trying clearly trying to link LGTBQ people to pedophiles. This isn't new or unique.

Using Satanists as the religious example is just a case of him being an idiot since they're the perfect benchmark for laws regarding religion. So, on that count, he's really only kinda stupid. It's lazy and stupid, but there's no real malice in it. Basically, it'd make him a harmless idiot if that was all he said.

Asking your coworker, who you know is a lesbian, if they're a pedophile? That's just hateful. It's the same bullshit that has already gotten people killed.

No that's your clearly bias perception of the situation. I see a lazy politician who doesn't want to add an extra report for every bill proposed. I don't agree with his politics but I think he has a valid bone to pick with her seemingly vague proposal.

I didn't say you're a republican. I said republicans say these things.

You asked two questions. "what's offensive about this?" I answered it specifically and directly.

Your second question "what about Satanists" I also answered specifically and directly

Some small subset of republicans say fucked up shit, just like every other party or affiliation. What's the point of that here. He made a valid inquiry about the limits of her broad proposal. Do you believe that every bill proposed in Rhode island should have a report stating it's impact on every single religion, ethnic background, gender etc etc? I think its slow enough on capitol hill.

> I read it

Assuming you aren't lying, I'm going to have to ask that you find a competent rational adult to help you read it again because you clearly did not understand it. Maybe you guys can look up the word you don't understand in the dictionayr, or have a quick discussion after it.

Cause if that is your interpretation of it, you're clearly not capable of grasping this topic without help.

Normally, I'd offer to help but I don't think you can afford my time.

Being on a sex offender registration is part of the punishment for having sex with a minor. It's no longer mandatory. Defending that is worse than any insult youre trying to poke at my comprehension. Grasp a 24 year old who had sex with a 14 year old getting less punishment.

You are absolutely trolling right now. Try asking the next person you see if they're a pedophile. Of the ones who haven't already punched you in the nose, ask them if your question offended them.

Pedophiles are universally reviled in our society, and pedophilia is against the law. It's ridiculous to even ask if the impact of a new law has to be judged in terms of how it affects people who are breaking the law.

He didn't ask her out of the blue, and her reply of being offended is why he probed as to what she was offended about. I'm not saying the guy is not at fault, I do understand why he would question the fringe of what these proposals require. You're trolling for comparing it to a completely different situation of asking someone next to you if they are a pedo. Context actually is important. She could have just explained her position instead of grasping her pearls and getting offended. To state it clearly, I don't condone either of their actions but I can see motivating factors for either side.
