It's all about Jobs for "little people"

From Eric Dondero:

Striking a blow against political correctness, Rep. Ritch Workman has introduced a bill to re-legalize a unique form of bar and nightclub entertainmnet.

From NBC Miami "Lawmaker Files Bill to Repeal State Ban on Dwarf Tossing in Bars":

House Bill 4063 would repeal Florida Statute 561.665, which bans establishments who sell alcohol from activities "involving exploitation endangering the health, safety, and welfare of any person with dwarfism."

Under the current statute, the state can fine or suspend the liquor license of bars that host dwarf tossing.

The cringe-inducing activity was outlawed in 1989, when national controversy over dwarf tossing prompted the Legislature to ban it in bars for safety reasons, the Current reports.

Further info from Blufftontoday.com "Lawmaker wants to re-legalize dwarf tossing," Oct. 5:

Rep. Ritch Workman of Melbourne filed House Bill 4063 on Monday.

"To me it's an archaic kind of Big Brother law that says, 'We don't like that activity,'" Workman told the Florida Current. "Well, there is nothing immoral or illegal about that activity. All we really did by passing that law was take away some employment from some little people."

Note - Workman is a frequent speaker at Florida Tea Party rallies (video). He is also a US Army combat Veteran.

Editor's comment - Note the blatant editorializing by NBC-Miami, calling the activity "cringe inducing." For liberals perhaps, and other PC weenies? Ooh-rah! Ritch, Ooh-rah!! Photo credit - Inquistr.com
