South Milwaukee Rep. Mark Honadel is “exploring new legislation that would bring stiffer penalties for those who take part in mob violence,” according to a press release I received.
Check out the full release here. From it:
Other states are enhancing their laws pertaining to mob action, including Illinois where legislation was introduced in June. The need to update the laws is due in part to changing technology that enables the ease and speed to organize through social networking groups.
Honadel is in the process of drafting a bill and looks forward to working with his colleagues on bringnig forward this important legislation.
I applaud Mark for this. Anything to help deter what happened at State Fair or on July 3 should be pursued.
