Native Americans Exempted from Washington State Lifejacket Law

Fox News

Washington state lawmaker exempted Native Americans from her life jacket bill, suggesting they’re less likely to drown due to “eons” of experience with “cold water” in the state.

Washington state Rep. Cindy Ryu, a Democrat, is the sponsor of HB 1707, a bill that would require people to wear personal flotation devices while on stand-up paddle boards, kayaks and canoes in an effort to prevent drowning deaths.

The legislation, however, includes an exemption for members of federally-recognized Native American tribes…

…According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, Native Americans actually have the highest rate of drowning among racial demographics. More

  1. eons” of experience with “cold water” in the state
    Hahahaha that’s the most ignorant thing I have ever heard. Do they have antifreeze for blood? Can they swim while unconscious?

  2. Whether anyone should be required to wear a life vest is none of WA State’s fucking business. There are 1,000s of drug addled zombies camped out on sidewalks in numerous cities across WA. Start dealing with that shit.

  3. Democrats, of course, are not prejudiced people, I’ll have you know!

    Live comfortably well away from people who vote their local Bolsheviks into leadership positions! Next stop…Mars (or Venus – in the upper atmosphere.

    I don’t think there’s anybody that’s been around Indians that hasn’t seen that. It’s a major reason for native drownings in Alaska. Lifejackets may help a little but they’re not real effective when used with alcohol.

  5. Democrats are (again) trying to kill off native Americans in the same ways they’ve been killing unborn babies via the Sanger-PP and exterminating minorities with crack pipes and crack rocks.

  6. Funny thing is, I’m a fucking “native” American.
    Born in Illinois to European descendants.
    If they mean fucking “Indians” they should write “Indians.”
    Or “Nez Perce, Arapaho, Sioux, Sauk-Suiattle … whatever.”
    Bullshit euphemisms to disguise their racism.
