Today on Felony Friday John is joined by Farrah Domeka. Farrah is a libertarian mom who home schools her six kids. She has a story to share that honestly is probably difficult for most people to believe. About thirteen years ago, she has suffered injustice as a result of absurd Florida laws. When Farrah was younger she made some questionable decisions. Shocking, a young adult making poor decisions! But she never did anything to harm another individual or to damage the property of another person. This didn't stop the state of Florida from hanging a felony on her record and stripping away her rights.  Find past editions of Felony Friday at the Felony Friday Archive!

On this week’s Electric Libertyland host Brian McWilliams rails a bit about Rand Paul’s flipping opposition to Mike Pompeo’s Secretary of State nomination, then welcomes in journalist Ford Fischer of News2Share.com to discuss his experience on the ground in Newnan, GA covering a neo nazi rally that drew far more Antifa than nazis.  The Georgia event resulted in conflicts between the massive police force in attendance and counter-protesters, both of whom outnumbered event organizers many times over. Brian and Ford then move on to discuss questions of the state’s duty to protect free speech vs. simply stand back to allow it, and where that line is drawn. Finally, the pair look at a conversation Ford had with sex workers following the passing of the FOSTA Sex Trafficking bill that has curtailed free speech online and damaged sex workers’ ability to make a living, while arguably doing nothing to stop actual sex trafficking.
